TOP THREE SCAN TOOLS
JORDON AYLOTT FROM PRECISION AU-
tomotive Equipment recommends three of the best from the Precision stable.
Diagnostic scan tools are more impor- tant than ever, with the ever-increasing amount of modules and technology being added to the modern-day vehicle. It is so important that you select the right tools for your business.
Capabilities of the scan tool, such as Pre-scan/Post-scan reports, vehicle module calibrations, and service func- tions like steering angle sensor resets, should be on your mind when consider- ing the correct tool for you.
At Precision Automotive Equipment we have compiled our top three scan tool recommendations which are per- fect for your panel repair shop. So, let’s get into it.
1AUTEL MS909
Number one on our list is the Autel MS909. One of the new tools in Autel’s range, the additional functions Autel has added to this tool make it an exciting piece of gear!
Autel has taken its top-level software and added in guided repair assist, OEM technical service bulletins, and DTC (di- agnostic trouble code) analysis func- tions to name a few.
After using this tool and the new fea- tures it provides, it’s hard to go back to using a tool without them.

Autel MS906BT. There are multiple rea- sons why this scan tool makes the list; it is one of the best ‘bang for buck’ profes- sional level scan tools available.
TheMS906BT’scapabilitiesexceedthat of most of its competitors offering almost everything you could want in a scan tool.
Some of these features include ECU re- calibrations, extensive module coding capabilities and bluetooth, which when paired alongside Autel’s outstanding ve- hicle coverage and user friendly layout, make this a truly great tool.
3AUTEL MSULTRA
Third on the list is the new Autel MSUltra. The MSUltra is another addi- tion to Autel’s new range of scan tools and the most powerful tool Autel offers.
The MSUltra takes all the new features of the MS909 and puts them into more powerful hardware. To top it off, Autel have added a new measurement interface which includes a 4-channel oscilloscope, a digital multimeter, a waveform genera- tor, and a CAN Bus check function.
All three of the above tools have the capability to create pre/post scans. An- other reason these three tools made the list is the ability to add ADAS calibration software, allowing you to future proof your business. This is something you will need to consider as the frequency of ADAS equipped vehicles getting re- paired at your shop increases.
Scan tools are used as much, if not more,thananyothertoolinaworkshop. So, make sure that you do your research and speak to an equipment specialist when it’s time to buy.
