Repair Smarter With OEM Manuals Now Available on Direct‑Hit® Mobile

OEM Shop Manuals have long been part of the Direct‑Hit experience on desktop, and they are now available as part of the Direct‑Hit Mobile app to support technicians wherever the job takes them.

Why This Matters More Than It Sounds

OEM manuals are not just another data source. They are the source. They define the exact procedures, specifications, wiring diagrams, and diagnostic steps required to complete a repair correctly.

The real challenge has never been the quality of OEM information. It has been access.

“For years, technicians have had to leave the vehicle to access the information they need,” said Victoria Repice, SVP of Product Management, Vehicle Repair at Solera. “With Direct‑Hit Mobile, we’ve removed that barrier by bringing OEM content and the full diagnostic workflow directly to the point of repair.”

By putting OEM manuals on mobile devices, Direct‑Hit Mobile helps technicians stay focused, maintain momentum, and work through diagnosis and repair without unnecessary interruptions.

What Technicians Get with OEM Manuals on Direct‑Hit Mobile

With this upgrade, technicians can:

• Access OEM repair procedures, specifications, wiring diagrams, pin‑out connector views, TSBs, and diagnostic troubleshooting
• Reference body repair information for more complete coverage
• Navigate related content easily using embedded links
• Rotate OEM content to landscape and zoom for a better mobile viewing experience

The result is OEM information that is not just available, but usable during the repair.

One Search, Two Trusted Data Sources

Direct‑Hit Mobile now combines official OEM Shop Manuals with technician‑confirmed fixes and MOTOR content in a single mobile search experience. Search results are aligned and consistent, so technicians spend less time wondering where to look and more time fixing the problem in front of them.

A Simpler Way to Work at the Vehicle

When technicians can stay at the vehicle throughout the repair process:

• Diagnosis happens faster
• First‑time fix rates improve
• Errors are reduced
• Confidence increases

“Putting OEM manuals, diagnostics, and proven fixes directly on mobile removes friction from the repair process,” Repice added. “It changes the flow of work so technicians can stay focused, move with the vehicle, and complete accurate repairs with certainty.”

That is the real impact of having OEM manuals on Direct‑Hit Mobile. Less back and forth. Fewer disruptions. Better repairs.

The Direct‑Hit Mobile Difference

DirectHit Mobile usage continues to grow across key metrics, including searches per shop, vehicles per shop, and devices per shop, as more technicians are incorporating mobile search into their daily work.
