In an effort to assist our members in bringing new and improved equipment and tools to the marketplace, The Equipment and Tool Institute (ETI) is launching a series of Market Research Projects. The first survey covers Flash Reprogramming, or J2534 as it is also known.

We are surveying automotive repair facilities in an effort to find out more about their familiarity with and use of flash reprogramming tools. ETI will use this research to help all segments of the automotive industry provide aftermarket shops with better flash reprogramming solutions.

If you are part of an automotive repair facility and are interested in participating in our first survey, please go to the following link:

This survey can only be taken on-line.

Other marketing research will follow. The specifics of each research project will be organized to correspond with ETI’s equipment focus groups. They are:
• Collision Repair Equipment;
• Under Hood Equipment;
• Under Car Equipment; and
• Software and Information products.

If you have an idea for a future marketing Survey Project, send an email to [email protected].
