About Robert Bentley

Since 1950, Bentley Publishers has helped professionals and do-it-yourself mechanics by publishing highly detailed automotive manuals and time-saving service guides. We started by reprinting and distributing hard-to-find British car manuals, such as Austin-Healey, MG, and Triumph. Today we offer a robust line of drivers handbooks, workshop manuals, and parts catalogs for British car owners and enthusiasts.

In 1979 we began publishing Volkswagen official service manuals, starting with the Volkswagen Type 1 Official Service Manual: 1970-1979. Soon afterwards, we also began publishing repair manuals for Audi as well. Our line of Volkswagen and Audi technical repair manuals continues to grow and now includes Volkswagen and Audi official factory repair information in both paper and electronic format.

In 1990, we recognized a need for BMW repair information in independent shops and among do-it-yourself owners. We decided to fill this need by purchasing a BMW 3 Series (E30) and authoring the manual ourselves. Many years later, our line of BMW repair manuals reaches across the breadth of BMW platforms to cover everything from the durable E30 3 Series to the technically-advanced E90 3 Series.

This process of tearing down a car, authoring the repair information, and taking our own photography now extends to our expanding line of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz books as well.

Everything that goes into a Bentley manual - from developing the outline, to meticulously disassembling the vehicle (and putting it back together again!), to taking hundreds of photographs of component locations - is done by our team of Technical Editors right here in our Cambridge, MA studio.

In authoring our manuals, our approach has been to go for the details, resulting in books that may look intimidating, but are easy to use. More detail and less "averaging of facts" leads to less guess work when you are working on a car.
