Simple diagnostics

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

When a customer comes into your shop with the engine light on, how do you help them? Do you use a code reader for quick vehicle troubleshooting?

It’s easier for tech’s to buy something that costs a few hundred dollars, compared to the thousands of dollars a shop might spend on a scan tool.

Do you have your own code reader, or do you use one frequently? How often do you use it?

Let me know what you think.
