Choosing a scan tool in today’s market is a big decision for any shop or serious ‘DIY’ consumer. The functions, hardware quality and software package that come with a scan tool will determine its value.
Update downloads and software subscriptions also must be considered. Many manufacturers now have “cloud” based subscriptions and technical service subscriptions that quickly double or triple the purchase price of a tool. Research the ongoing costs of any equipment. Here, Autel® offers fair and affordable update options. Our MS906TS first year subscription was included with the tablet and accessories package, part of the initial purchase price.
In the current market, ADAS and TPMS have added more demands to scan tools. After considering all of these variables and researching available products, we picked the Autel MS906TS scan tool for its range of features, rugged construction, software quality, tech support and price point.
