Questions on online repair manuals,database,etc

Hello,
Not sure where to post this question,but guess ill start here.
Im looking for a good,fairly inexpensive,online database/repair manual,connection,for all makes of cars.
Ive found chiltons/alldata/mitchel.That seem ok,but have not subscibed yet.
Im looking for unlimited access to different cars,not just 1 car a year.
Complete info,engine info, torque spects, and basic repair stuff also.
Inexpensive,is im sure not the best word to use on this,but lets say affordable.
Does anyone use such a thing,and could anyone give me some info, on what is a good one,and what is not.
Thank you in advance,for any info.
Sean g.

Chiltons, Alldata, Mitchel on Demand are about the only really good ones out there. They're all a pay service and are designed for businesses to use not personal use. I've used Alldata and they also provide tech support with the service. If there's something you can't find online in their service, you e-mail them and get a response usually within the hour. They'll even phone you if they have to to explain something.
