What diagnostic software and equipment to independent auto repair shops use? ?
Like when they hook your car up (bmw, mercedes, audi ect..) and it runs a diagnostics and tells them what the exact problem is and what should be fixed and how.
Answers:
Different shops use different equipment, there;s lots of stuff out in attendance.
My shop uses a Genisys scan tool. I think that cost us about $6,000 plus the cost of annual updates, trappings, etc.
We subscribe to the Identifix service which costs $1,000 annually.
Mitchell is our order management and OEM background resource. I think we pay something close to $150/month for that.
Our smoke machine cost about $1,000
Then within are other miscellaneous items.
Think of diagnosis as a road map. The scanner narrate the tech which state the problem is in by the means of a code. The code is what clutch the technician to a general area as contained by EGR malfunction. The tech uses his talent and skills to determine the nature of the letdown by running a series of tests called trouble shooting. This take him to the right city, now he has to find the address. Simply because the scanner said EGR hitch, this does not mean replace the EGR. A loose vacuum line to the EGR could hold set this code or a carbon chip on the pintle and seat or a blocked port. The scanner only guides you to the right direction. That's when a worthy tech takes over. Source(s): ASE Master Tech 40 Years
The BIG misconception is the diagnostics tell what exactly is wrong, it shows what system area needs to be checked further or what reading the particular sensor is seeing or reacting to . eg a cut telecommunication will make a sensor read low or hi , ie. on a throttle position it will show no input for more fuel upon acceleration but the other sensors will try to compensate and add fuel
MAC ,Snap-on or Matco tools own scanners with the appropreat moduels
I have a Bear anylizer w/3 gas which stands roughly speaking 6 ft tall and about 4ft broad about $68,000 the smaller machines will do just fine for most. Source(s): ASE Master Tech
its called MODIS. but it does not tell the tech the exact failure it just points them in the right direction Source(s): Ford Tech
