Reading the press it would be easy to believe that buying a lower tech reset type tool could be seen to be a foolish thing to do.
What needs to be done it to keep sight of what you are really trying to do, particularly if you only intend to use the equipment for service and actuator resets purposes. Clearly this type of work is extremely important and is the way garages on the whole intend to use their equipment.
Tools that read fault codes, reset service intervals as well as configure or reconfigure a vehicle system are now mandatory to carry out many forms of repair or service. Many articles that you read imply or lead you to believe that you always have to carry out complex tests and evaluation when doing any form of job. Taking a little time to analyse the jobs that really do need complex diagnostic equipment, you may find it is not as frequent as you first thought.
A number of diagnostic units are available and intended for this type of work, looking to do further or more exploratory work may sound too appealing particularly when you think about the money that is said to be earned from these difficult jobs. Just buying a Diagnostic Unit and then looking for difficult jobs is soon found to be the wrong way to start. We feel it is most important that educating yourself so that you know what you are going to be looking for prior to purchasing the expensive equipment, is what should be done first.
It is far better to gain knowledge prior to purchasing equipment that is capable of performing intricate diagnostic testing, than to make the mistakes using such equipment when you are not ready to use to its full potential.
This is why we feel equipment such as Omitec’s OmiCheck is probably one of the best ways of entering the market place. The cost of which should not break the bank, but you would also be using most of its features immediately so you would start making profit from day one.
