    Diagnostics & Scan Tools, What Best?

    Snap On Solous Ultra. I have been thrilled. With mine. Other than the latest firmware updates for car it have all the functions Land Rover/Jaguar IDS has and Acura's HDC. Worth the money. Don't buy a Modus they arre slow and lack a lot of coverage. If you also want an O-scope get a Vantage Pro...

    How many techs own there own shop tools?

    The Solous Ultra is worth every penny over the Autel. Snappy is running some good deals right now.

    How many techs own there own shop tools?

    Ford guys do you guys use Mongoose or VCM with IDS? I picked up a Mongoose for $185 off Amazon and IDS is free to download on your dealer's account. Rover requies us to use a Toughbook ($800 off ebay) on tech support request but otherwise you can use any laptop.

    Do you guys keep spare meter fuses in your box?

    I needed a fuse for my 115 when I asked the Matco man if he had any on his truck he sold me all he had for $15. A dozen or so. He said no one ever buys them and he wanted to dump them.

    Snap On Solous Ultra vs. Launch GDS

    Well today I was talking to my Snap On rep today and told him I'm leaning towards the Launch, thanks for letting me demo it blah blah blah. He asked what would make the deal. I said a storage tool cart and Vantage Pro (I really like o-scopes) for free joking. He calls his diag manager who...

    Snap On Solous Ultra vs. Launch GDS

    I work in a dealer. Oldest I see is about 2006-08 trades. Launch drops about 850 updates a year. All for the $600 yearly fee. I see "new" vehicles all the time, most of our customers trade in less than 2 year old cars. I like that about Snap On plus I have a good rep. Problem is cost of...

    Snap On Solous Ultra vs. Launch GDS

    I work on a even blend of Eurocrap, Asian and Domestic. All used cars that come in. The Autel is out of the running due too pending litigation with Launch. I don't want a tool that may not be updatible due to court orders.

    Snap On Solous Ultra vs. Launch GDS

    Matco sells them in the US. I know a lot of shops are buying the Launch locally from the Matco guy. Almost every week he has a new one on the truck waiting to be picked up.

    Snap On Solous Ultra vs. Launch GDS

    I am down to 2 scan tools. The Launch GDS and Snappy Solous Ultra. I am currently using the Snap On and I like it. It does lack a lot of functions I would expect for the price especially on Domestic cars. Plus $1250 a year for updates is a little high. The Launch is $600 a year for updates...

    mac guy gave up

    They do it here. Out of curiosity I sent them a email about a month ago. Still get emails from the regional sales manager telling me what a great opprutunity I'm missing. I just wanted to see what tool brand it was and it was Mac.

    Scan Tools Launch vs Snap On

    I am trying to decide which scan tool to buy. I do a good bit of used cars and do Euro side work. I have come down to two different tools unless someone else has something for me. First is the new Snap On Ethos Plus, it read SRS, ABSN TPMS and such but has no by-laterial test functions. With...
