NADA. Meaning there is not one. Most people scrounge ebay for the GM tech manuals.
Wow.... well do you know which manual I should pick up from ebay?
he is right, Chilton and Haynes never bothered to print manuals for the aveo because they feel it is a throwaway car; but here is a better option for repair information besides that Ebay store that Charges 50% OVER the HELM RETAIL PRICE: https://www.alldatadiy.com/Quote:

Alldata is the best! We use it all the time in auto shop. We have the version for businesses but I imagine it's the same thing but without the vin lookup and updated tsbs

You have access to Alldata Pro!? Sweet! Back in my tech school days, we had Alldata Pro and it was invaluable for our live work!Quote:

Alldata pro is great. I usually print a copy of the info I need and cross off the steps as I complete them, it really helped the time I changed the plenum pan gasket on a 99 Durango with the 5.9 v8 it had the order to tighten the bolts, what connectors went where and the torque specs. Saved me hours of guesswork and I plan on using their directions to change my timing belt when it's time.Quote:

Although I don't own one and can't offer an opinion about it, Haynes for the Aveo does exist and is available via the link below.
SHOP MANUAL AVEO SERVICE REPAIR CHEVROLET HAYNES BOOK 2004-2011 | eBay
Well I'll be damned, the Haynes manual DOES Exist! (I even went to the official Haynes site to see if it was just someone playing a prank; and it is 100% TRUE!)Quote:

They must have recently published it cause I looked everywhere when I bought my Aveo and online and I couldn't find it anywhere. Edit: I searched for the ISBN number and it was recently published, on the 15th of December 2016Quote:

These links work, but it's not easy to get to the data w/o getting a lot of garbage. Sites like cardiagn house files, but they want you to use their app to get stuff. There are download apps like "JD downloader". Apps like it scour links and look for download'able files. One you get it all down, it's not a new-be friendly "here's how you fix XXX" like a Haynes or Chiltons.Quote:

I FINALLY found the Paper Chilton's manual in the wild! Found it at my local O'reilly's while getting a replacement thermostat for Scootaloo!

Well, I bought it; and it actually explains the differences between the various model years pretty well. They actually used a 2007 sedan to base most of their pictures on.
