Overview of Bentley Publishers
Robert Bentley founded Bentley Publishers in 1950. Initially, the company was an importer of fiction and philosophy books, but in the 1960s Bentley Publishers began to focus on automotive-related publishing.
Today, Bentley publishes two types of automotive repair manuals:
- Official Factory Repair Manuals
- Service Manuals.
Bentley Official Factory Repair Manuals contain repair information that the dealer-trained service technicians use everyday. The information in official factory repair manuals is developed by the manufacturer and is intended primarily for the professionally-trained automotive technician. Official factory repair manuals usually contain more information than is available in the service manuals. However, factory repair manuals assume that the user has a high level of automotive experience and skill and may not contain the very basic information needed by the average do-it-yourself mechanic. These factory repair manuals are intended for professional mechanics or an advanced-level do-it-yourself owner.
Bentley Service Manuals are written by automotive editors at Bentley's automotive research center. Beginning with a blank page and the official factory service, repair, and training information, these automotive editors create a condensed yet authoritative service manual aimed at both the professional technician and the do-it-yourself owner. Service manuals often include additional troubleshooting tips, routine maintenance hints, and model-specific repair information not normally found in the Official Factory Repair Manual.
Bentley also publishes Owner's Bibles, Enthusiast Companions, Brand-Specific Reference books, and many other titles. Bentley repair manuals and related books are considered the best in the industry.
