Database of the Month

Auto Repair Reference Center

The Auto Repair Reference Center (ARRC) database contains the most comprehensive collection of automobile repair reference information in the market. ARRC contains information on most major manufacturers of domestic and imported vehicles.

The database covers more than 37,000 vehicles from 1954 to present. Content includes millions of drawings and step-by-step photographs, approximately 110,000 technical service bulletins & recalls issued by the original equipment vehicle manufacturer, and over 180,000 enhanced wiring diagrams for easy viewing and printing.

Look up your vehicle and read about its specifications & maintenance schedules, including Quick Tips (a complete guide to vehicle ownership & maintenance). The Labor Time Guide & Estimator allows you to determine the time it takes to do a repair and estimate the cost of the repair. Diagnostic troubleshooting information based on symptoms and ODBII codes is also available. New repair procedures, TSBs, and updates are continually added to the product. All of the content in Auto Repair Reference Center has been created by ASE certified technicians.

This database is provided free to all SWC students, faculty, and staff. To access the database from off-campus, fill out the password request form.
