In 1991 Autodata produced its first electronic media in the form of workshop technical information on floppy disk. This soon led to Autodata growing internationally, with the professional technical data and guidance becoming used across Europe, the United States and Australasia. Instead of focussing on one vehicle with each book, the books would cover hundreds of vehicles, but for one task or item, such as carburettors or replacing timing belts. These publications became popular during the 1970s and 1980s, allowing the business to expand internationally.Īlthough the owners’ manuals continued to be printed up until early 1990s, Autodata had already started to focus the business towards the professional market, producing numerous publications for workshops and garages. It's best known for providing the automotive aftermarket with OE manufacturer data.Īutodata was established in 1972 in Maidenhead, Berkshire, in the UK, producing printed car manuals for owners and enthusiasts to work on their own vehicles.
Autodata provides automotive technical information to professionally service, maintain, and repair cars, light commercial vehicles, and motorcycles. Autodata Limited is a British multinational that specialises in automotive data and software.
