    Hunter alignment machine problems

    We have had 2 Hunter alignment machines over the last few years. First one was good for about 1.5y and then started blowing boards all over the place, we put $1000's worth of repairs into it. We followed all the recommended "fixes", such as monitoring power, installing backup power, and even a...

    School me on the Snapon Modis (original)

    The Local Snap on guy has a used Modis updated to 12.2 for Sale. Since a Vantage Pro goes for close to a grand used these days (usually) l figured a 4 channel with the scan tool as a bonus for a $ 1 ooo doesn't seem too bad . Comes with the cables, Keys , etc. , and the domestic and Asian...

    CPS Products A/C equipment?

    We have a new all makes repair shop and are looking at automotive AC equipment. We haven't decided on an "automatic" machine or components yet, but have been shopping around a bit. One supplier has quoted us on CPS equipment, specifically an AR2788s auto machine, and in separate units, the...

    Good deal on OTC strut tamer extreme (Canada)

    Not sure if this applies across Canada but I got a flyer for Uni-select stores with this (OTC 6592) for about $650 or so. Comes with stand. Looks to be cheaper than even amazon and is way less than other local stores. Thought I'd give a heads up.

    Getting low car on 2 post lift

    The shop I just started at has a couple of Challenger 2 post hoists. It is a new shop, and for some reason they purchased a 15000lb and 18000 lb lift, but should have purchased a 15000 and maybe a 10 or 12000 instead. The ones they have are great for pickups, but there are lots of cars that...

    Truck brand vs. other

    I'm sure this has been covered before, but I can't seem to find a topic to match I have been professional working in the automotive field for quite some time, but have never been able to invest in a large collection of premium tools. I have a mix of mostly midrange, parts store brands, and...

    Snap On Vantage Ultra

    I have been looking at scopes (and scan tools) for the shop I am moving to in a few weeks. It is a brand new shop, so we are starting from scratch. We are considering a Modis, but I think a Solus Ultra and a Vantage might be a better choice (don't like the idea of one tool). I was informed by...

    Torque wrenches

    I'm going to have to get some torque wrenches soon and have been shopping around. I am not too keen on spending a fortune on snap on right now, even though they are very nice. Any suggestions for general auto repair, nothing highly critical like engine building and the like, mostly steering...

    Alldata or Mitchell or ????

    I am a professional technician and work on many different makes as models, mostly domestic, some Asian, not much euro other than vw. I have used both alldata and Mitchell in the past, and currently am using Alldata. I can't really remember why I got rid of Mitchell a few years ago to be honest...

    Scan tool and scope for a new shop

    I'm starting at a brand new shop soon as the lead tech. We will be servicing all makes, but are not taking on really big jobs and are going to be humble enough to accept our limits with some of the "dealer only" stuff. However, we realize that even some of the most basic repairs require a good...

    Automotive lab scope / GMM

    Our shop has had a snap on vantage 2400 for years. It finally crapped out on us so we are in the market for a replacement. I have been assigned the task of researching and choosing something, since I am the only one who uses it. Here's where it stands. We are a small shop and don't do tons of...

    1/4" hex socket adapters?

    Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a short adapter for 1/4" hex to use sockets? The ones I've seen are too long (like the ones in the pic). I am looking for one that will let the socket sit basically flush with the end if the chuck. I'd like to be able to use 1/4" sockets instead...

    I want this ratchet...

    I bought this a long time ago at princess auto ( Canadian version of harbor freight). I've had it 7-8 years and never had a problem and it is my most used ratchet. They don't even sell it anymore. The only problem I have with it is that it has a pretty course tooth count, which probably...
