Most auto repair shops use a service such as Alldata for their repair info. Question: is there a similar service available for motorcycle/powersports repair info?
 
I'm sure dealers have factory service programs they use. For anyone else, they will sell you a paper service manual. for alot of $$$. Alot of people don't feel aftermarket manuals are as good as the factory versions, but they have gotten me thru alot of problems in past years. I wouldn't attempt to do a full rebuild or reconditioning with either source of info. But that's just me.,,,
 
factory manuals are being replaced with CD's like for my traded BMW + Triumph has been using a pay per use or pay for a time period. i am old school + like paper manuals + get by with aftermarket ones BUT a pro in business needs full RELIABLE info!! fortunately my bikes never needed to see the dealer $$$$ + i DIY it, but i have a friend that can handle anything from a basket case up!! he was a former Ducati dealer among others.
 
Thanks for the replies. I probably didn’t state my question very clearly. I’m thinking of an independent repair shop. Is there a service they can subscribe to that provides repair info for whatever make happens to come through the door?

I don't know if there is a subscription service that has 100s of service manuals that an independent shop could access. However, another thing a shop could do is just buy the manuals as the various bikes come in. This site has most of them for sale around $25 each. At the rate shops charge to do work, I don't think it would kill them to buy the manuals, then they would have them all permanently to use at anytime.

I think that is a great idea to create software or app for this service by.
The mobile app development process involves developing user interfaces for phones and tablets. An app developer designs an app using the development tools that he/she is familiar with and then sets up the app on the device.
