This comprehensive service information provides the resource that the professional technician needs to diagnose/troubleshoot, maintain, service, and repair a FCA vehicle.

1. 2016 Jeep Wrangler Jk Service Repair Manual

There's basically three ways to get a service manual for Chrysler vehicles: 1) A MOPAR TechAuthority subscription. This is their official service manual that dealers get access to. Unfortunately FCA doesn't sell single-vehicle access, just access to every vehicle they've ever made, and they price it accordingly (i.e. $$$$ even for a 72 hour subscription). This is expensive because this is how FCA soaks their dealership service departments for the money to compile and revise this service information - nobody other than FCA dealerships actually buys TechAuthority, independent mechanics already subscribe to AllData, which has basically the same service information but for.all. vehicles, not just FCA vehicles.

This is basically the TechAuthority for your Jeep boiled down to files on an optical disk with a program for reading them into your web browser. Chrysler has been on and off with these, sometimes they make one available to the public right away (like for my minivan), sometimes not for years. Again, expensive, something on the order of $500 when I bought it for my minivan several years ago, but not as expensive as buying TechAuthority access multiple times over a five year period. Looking at the TechAuthority site, the latest available is for the 2017 model year. 3) Alldata DIY.

Chrysler vehicles are usually available on Alldata DIY two model years after release. I.e., I bought a 2012 Wrangler in October 2011, and the Alldata DIY became available when the 2014 Wrangler was released in December 2013 (apparently it took them a few months to move the data from regular Alldata into Alldata DIY).

A 5 year subscription cost me $10 per year and I recently had to renew it, which is why I remember when it was released. This appears to contain the same information as TechAuthority, just formatted differently. So right now your options for service information for a 2018 JL are either a short-term TechAuthority subscription or your friendly independent mechanic's Alldata subscription. Time to befriend your local independent! Chrysler does not, and has not for years, offered any paper service manual for their vehicles., which means that having accurate service information while out in the backcountry without Internet service is difficult. You can print pages out but you better hope you printed the right pages.

The CD/DVD works if you have a laptop computer that'll read it, but that means you need to have a laptop computer with you. Fox shock. I think the last time they offered paper service manuals for any of their vehicles was in 2008, ten years ago.

Currently the only company I've looked at that offers paper service manuals for their vehicles is General Motors. As far as free access to the service manual, the only car company I know that gives free access to the service manual online is Hyundai/Kia. By far the best value is AlldataDIY.com, which is kept updated with the latest recalls, TSB's, and so forth.

But you'll have to wait a couple of years before that's available.
