The new Software Upgrade 13.4 from Snap-on Diagnostics is packed with high performance diagnostics specifically formulated to put you at the top of your game as a professional technician – to fix more cars faster. With the most current diagnostic capabilities for over 64 million vehicles on the road today, this powerful upgrade expands repair shops’ service reach by delivering the latest features and new coverage for all major makes back to model year 1998.
“Every Snap-on software upgrade helps technicians get the answers they need fast to be even more productive, creating a greater profit opportunity,” said Bill Bruno, vice president of marketing for Snap-on Diagnostics. “And, an investment in more vehicle coverage can provide a 400 percent return on investment based on just one $20 diagnostic connection fee a day. We know that on average, a shop connects up to three vehicles per day – it more than pays for itself.”
