Hey everyone,
i wonder if if you could help me. Are there any recommendations for diagnostics software/equipment?
im looking at purchasing diagnostic software for a garage and need it to work on as many vehicles as possible, does anyone have any particular pieces of software/bundles that cover the vast majority of vehicles?
Nick

Horses for courses on all the stuff. I use an Autel MaxiSys MS908 for the bulk of my work, but couldn't get away without having Autocom CDP+ to back it up for some makes. I think you will need at-least two main toolsets to cover the majority of cars, but then you will get the bright spark coming in with an LGV.........

you can get a knock off delphi diagnostic laptop and vci from ebay with the software which is dated up to 2013 for its price its probably one of the best diagnostic equipment for a general garage. definitely not to be knocked. ive been able to perform every check and adjustment so far on a variety of different vehicles.

Don't think your customers would expect you to use counterfeit equipment ? |

Indeed. Wouldn't take much in the way of a cheap power supply or poor wiring to cook something. |
