Hi All,
I’ve never used techinfo.toyota.com and am looking for the technical service manual for my 2017 toyota corolla im (2ZR-FAE engine) and my 2006 toyota tundra (1GR-FE engine). I see you have to subscribe to access service manuals (and other things); there is a 2-day access for $25 that doesn’t sound bad. I have a few questions about these subscriptions though:
- During your active subscription, are you able to download the service manual you need? Or can you only access these manuals while logged in?
- Are you able to purchase the manual you need without needing a subscription?
Thanks,
w

there is a "contact us" link at the bottom of that page. You should probably ask them.
If they don’t let you download, I would recommend instead Haynes or Chilton Manuals (same publisher). It’s a physical copy and you can throw it in your car and take it with you wherever you go, and look at it for some troubleshooting if you’re in the middle of nowhere with no signal. Scotty had recommended them in the past. Also I’ve found that for some reason they’re usually a lot cheaper at autozone, even cheaper than their own website or Amazon.

If you like online subscriptions and/or virtual format, ALLDATAdiy sounds like a much better deal. Alldata is used by professional mechanics nationwide; the DIY version allows you to only pay for the info for the cars that you need.
"For the initial subscription price of $24.95 you will have access to your specific year, make, and model vehicle for a full year or $44.95 for three years. Additional vehicles after the first are available at the discounted price of $14.95 per vehicle per year or $29.95 for three years. You must register to receive access to the site and you must also register for each additional vehicle." - https://www.alldatadiy.com/contact/faq.html
Now if your site does let you download, and your plan is to make a one-time payment and download it and cancel your subscription, then of course that one is a better deal.

Totally don’t do this because it’s most likely illegal, but no one can stop you from taking screenshots or photos with your phone. Don’t be selling illegal copies and you won’t get caught. Again you can do this but you shouldn’t. 😉 I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.
it would not be illegal, unless you tried to distribute the copies, and it doesn't sound like that's his intention at all.
