A Necessity for Commercial Vehicle Operators and Repairers
State of the art truck diagnostic tools are becoming a necessity for any commercial vehicle operator or repairer. Vehicle break-downs are an extremely costly exercise for operators in terms of time, call outs and delayed customer deliveries. In the current economic climate a truck diagnostic tool is a great asset for any company as it instantly homes in on the problem allowing immediate action to be taken.
Without diagnostic tools, workshops would be forced to outsource repairs, dash board warning light clearing and ECU code clearing from expensive dealers or expert diagnostic repairers.

It is a common myth that a vehicle recharges a battery while driving, however this is not true, it merely replaces the lost capacity used. A battery needs to be recharged fully to avoid breakdowns. Modern trucks power a lot of electrical items such as TV’s, microwaves and kettles while static. This will drain the battery and not replace the capacity so recharging is essential if the full life of a battery is to be maintained!
