There is no way to get the data cheaply. There's a sizable industry around this - of which YourMachanic is newer part. Repair data is used to set part prices, determine the TCO of a vehicle (similar this report shows). It is also used by the US government to mine the data for recalls. The residual data from the newer breed of online repair sites (YourMechanic, Mitchell's & Motor's offering, etc.) is hugely valuable... and in no way is easy to get to. The reason is that repair information (part #'s, labor costs, repair procedures, fluid levels, etc.) is extremely hard to digitize from 25 different manufacturers. No one uses a billing / estimating system unless is includes that data.
