The video is incorrect in stating that if you miss an update you have to purchase each of the ones you missed. That is incorrect. You get all the back fill at one price. it is just a couple hundred more than the normal update.
@SuperGage111 Why should it be a couple of hundred more? If you missed all that coverage, it means you didn't have access to those vehicles, therefore, you lost that capability for said year models. For many technicians it is cost effective to wait or skip a couple years, that way it becomes cost effective to upgrade. With this tool, if you skip many years, it becomes so expensive that come techs opt to sell the tool and go somewhere else. That is not fair for the technician or the consumer.
Welcome to our new "Auto-Tech Consumer Reports" series, which is a video review on contemporary automotive diagnostic equipment. Support us in this coming series with comments on what you'd like reviewed in future editions. Let us know what you want, and we'll deliver. Thanks for your support...
@mechanic4yourcar Thanks for posting. We aim to present the video here without any biasing. Our intention is to disseminate as much content as possible to help others make an inform decision. This is a highly under covered topic. Many techs spend thousands of dollars on a tool without knowing what they're buying. We either own, sample or review 99% of the diagnostic tools sold in the US. We love that you posted your opinion. Keep it up and maybe we can help you make in informed decision. Thanks
@shadetreeautocare Thanks for the post. We've had experience with BlueStreak before. It is part of Standard parts brand. We'll keep this newer tool in mind. THanks again...
@ADPTraining yes the verus will be a really interesting revew as well as the Verdic ( both from snap-on) but it will be great to see OTC producs like the pagisys and the genesys as well as some producs from bosh which are mostle PC versions but. also there this PC based scanner called auto enginuity which covers obd2 as the basic and $100 upgrades on OEM data
@xxioryyagamixx Most definitely not... We own most of the tools you've mentioned. We also have contacts with many schools and institutions to be able to demo and sample the ones we don't have. We also design and manufacture our own scanner and scope, so I know what I'm looking for. All we need from you folks is to tell us what you want to see reviewed. We promise absolute neutrality. In fact, we will never review any of our tools here nor will we mention other brands, other than the review.
@briansmobile1 Thank you... We'll keep an eye on participation and comments. We'd like to make this series into a normal production unit, like the "Stories from the Road". This is an area that's highly under served and we'd like to help.... Keep posting...
Just an absolutely and totally informative video. Thanks

snap on scanners are pure garbage and a waist of money. they sucker you to buy their scanners so you have to buy their over priced updates every year

Now THIS is a great video series idea! Especially as it's non biased or producer based.

I love my Modis. Just need to learn how to use the scope and other features that it has in it.

@audiomannn If it works for you then great. The learning part is common for most tools and manufacturers don't do much in way of training...
