Understanding European cars can be complicated, so technicians need their diagnostic tools to be clear and accurate. The new Snap-on Diagnostic Software Upgrade 14.4 continues to increase the optional European vehicle coverage to give technicians true OEM-specific coverage on Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Porsche, Smart Car, Volkswagen and Volvo.
“With the European coverage offered for the new Diagnostic Software Upgrade 14.4, technicians will get true Snap-on reliability, support and coverage so they never have to turn a job away because they didn’t have access to a specific vehicle system,” said Christopher Hockett, product manager, Snap-on Diagnostics. “The updated software includes dealer-level codes, data and functional tests to keep those vehicles and profits in-house.”
