Hmm... I wonder how this compares. Somebody PM me with how many pages, etc. when you get it, if you would.

Still trying to figure out what they're going to do about the huge disparity between online and paper (online for C7/C7Z is now like 16k pps including every connector schematic, etc).

Last set on the 2007 was 3 books. I would imagine this set will be similar. The 2007 books were also $200.

Thanks for the PM - That's impressive! $200 is a steal for that set.

Makes me contemplate my subscription...

I got this e-mail from Helms this morning




Good afternoon Mr. Lewis,

We recently spoke regarding the order below. I dug a little deeper after our call and found out that the warehouse is waiting for stock to come in for this manual. They are stating that the items will arrive on Thursday. I would like to apologize for any inconvenience.


So I called Helms and she told me that the warehouse would receive the manuals on Thursday and my order should ship out on Friday or Monday and should take from 3-5 days for delivery by FedEx

Anyone have an idea where to find a 2015 Service manual set for the C7 (not Z06)?
Helm Inc. is the only distributor of the "official" Corvette service manual.

No, not a photocopy. GM only provides the service manual electronically now. Helm reproduces the electronic version on paper.

Very good description of this. Their price increase coincides with the SI changes and licensing cost bumps.

The online version of SI is available for the following rates:

72 Hours: $20
30 Days: $150
1 Year: $1200

Or, it is included in the Service Support Package, which is $3125 per year. This is the level I personally use for helping others here, along with using GDS2 for testing.

I've read recently that the wiring diagrams will not be included in the printed version for the 2015 manual set. I'll see if I can find that reference when I get back home. In the meantime, can anybody confirm?

Yikes!!!!

I was hoping for a download or a disk, like I can get for my G8's.

A year after it was new, I bought a complete set of Manuals including electric diagrams for my Flex for under $150. They originally came from a dealer from what I was able to determine. Of course one has to remember that a F O R D is "Fix or Repair Daily" LOL

Since both my son and I have 15's, we may bite the bullet when the Hemmings 15' Vette manual is in print. Wouldn't be any good without electrical diagrams.

Can I download the manual if I subscribe for 72 hours? Or only for online viewing only?
