Has anyone downloaded a repair manual from Home - Mercedes Work Shop Manuals? I'd like to get a repair / workshop manual for my 22 GLE63s, and looking for some recommendations for the best place to get one.

Genuine Mercedes workshop manuals are electronic and are software based. The are called WIS. You can get bootlegged copies on eBay that run on a virtual machine or you can get a legitimately licensed copy from @BenzNinja .

The BenzNinja version runs natively in Windows, while the eBay versions run on something like VMware or VirtualBox. Having used various versions in the past, I recommend going with BenzNinja for support and ease of use.

No, I have not used the repair manual you are asking about. I am a little suspicious because there is no pricing or shopping cart to purchase it. I would want to see what it looks like first. If it's a bunch of pdf files with no indexing, I'd avoid it. Did you find a price?

Yep, I'd stay away. The Workshop Information System (WIS) has indexed and search capabilities based on your VIN.

Thanks! I wondered about that. I looked at the @BenzNinja site, and I didn't find an option for the workshop manuals - just the diag/coding tool. Did I miss it somewhere?

Hi
yes you did
it has workshop and parts also of course and much more

With the Club membership comes all the software you would need to diagnose, learn, and allow BenzNinja to assist with configuration and repair of various control modules. The software includes:

• XENTRY
• DAS
• XENTRY Simulation
• HHT (for very old Mercedes)
• Vediamo
• DTS Monaco
• WIS/ASRA (shop manual and labor estimator)
• EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog linked to WIS to quickly find part numbers, as needed)
• Starfinder (pictures of parts locations)
• Download Manager for Map updates
• Cbf WARE
• Flash WARE

Software and Windows 10 OS are delivered on an SSD for installation into your laptop. Once you install the SSD, BenzNinja remotes into your laptop and configures all the software. Configuration is required because a unique software key is generated for each program and linked to your hardware.

Interesting that they present themselves as being long established, but the website domain was just created this past June 2024. Doesn't pass the sniff test for me.

I would agree with that. I'm looking for manuals as well and came across this post. I checked out the site and all the YouTube video testimonials are deep fakes that aren't that good. The mouth moves separately from the words coming out. This seems like a scam.

It’s a Romanian Roma type person who runs it - very suspicious

I haven’t personally downloaded from Mercedes Workshop Manuals, but I’ve seen mixed reviews—some say it’s legit, others mention missing sections or poor formatting. For a 2022 GLE63 S, you might have better luck with RepairSurge or WorkshopManuals.org, which offer more complete and reliable service manuals. They're often more detailed and tailored to specific models.
