GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

Hello everyone! I was so happy to find a site dedicated to the Vibe! My wife and I bought a 09 Vibe base 1.8 liter. It's black with 59,000 miles. We bought it on her birthday, so it was a great present!

I work on all my cars, and I was wondering where I could buy a copy of the GM service manuals for the car. How many are there? How much do they cost? If someone knows and could tell me I'd appreciate it!

Oh yeah, the radio knob already broke. I see that that is a common problem.

Geoff, DressedinBlack on here is selling the Helms manuals. I was thinking about grabbing them, but need to get my tax return first.

If you aren't able to get the manuals that DressedInBlack is selling, here is the website where you can get them from.

Welcome to this great site I believe these are what you're looking for




I've had these for 3 years or so and I honestly don't remember what I paid for them. I am a bit disappointed in the accuracy
of the content in these manuals. For example: when I was installing heated seats into the leather trimmed GT seats, there was NO
information on that particular seat. Lots of info that is pertinent to the 2008 model year that was never deleted and updated
to our 2009 models. Still I need them & like you, do as much of my service work on my own.

Post pics of your ride soon .........................................

Yep, those look like what I want. That sucks that the accuracy is off. If you do your own work (read: like to save money!) these are a must.

Since the Matrix is basically mechanically identical to the Vibe, would the service manuals for the 09 Matrix be the same as the ones for the Vibe? Would Toyota be anymore accurate then GM?

I was wondering the same thing myself...
