OTC Wants To Help You Choose The Right Scan Tool

With a variety of scan tools on the market in a wide range of prices, choosing the right tool can help enhance a technician's productivity and save money. Choosing the wrong tool, however, can be a costly investment that a tech may never fully realize.


With a variety of scan tools on the market in a wide range of prices, choosing the right tool can help enhance a technician’s productivity and save money. Choosing the wrong tool, however, can be a costly investment that a tech may never fully realize.

To help make the right purchase, OTC will host a free webinar for North America on Friday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. EST to answer questions and help technicians decide what level of scan tool is best for them. OTC Product Manager Ed Lipscomb will moderate a panel featuring Technical Support Specialists Jim Wilson and Doc Watson, who will field audience questions and walk through some of the most common concerns prior to diagnostics purchases, such as:

– When to purchase an OEM scan tool

– Quickly retrieving information needed to fix a car

– When to add J2534 reprogramming to a diagnostic toolbox

Participants will be walked through a full range of diagnostics options, from code readers to fully integrated scan tools, helping better prepare them for a future scan tool purchase. Along with the OTC Genisys Touch and Encore diagnostic systems, panelists will also review the Bosch Mastertech VCI (M-VCI), a complete PC-based solution that provides aftermarket and OE-level diagnostics along with reprogramming in one powerful tool.

One participant will win an OTC Encore diagnostic system valued at more than $1,800. Click here to register.
