His purpose.
With as many as 60+ control modules on vehicles today John is proud to offer the same factory Scan Tools the dealers use in order to provide factory level service. This prevents shops from having to send their own customers back to the dealer. His purpose is to keep the shops from directing their customers to the dealer and losing shop revenue.

Scope of his business.
Today John services close to 1200 Repair Shops, 500 Body Shops and 100 Transmission specialists in his service area. His services include Onsite Control Module Programming with, John says, a guarantee of Same Day / Next Day service. John works by appointment only and says that there are no guessing games with his pinpoint tactics.

He subscribes yearly to 20+ automobile manufacture subscriptions in order to be current on all of his diagnostic equipment covering all mainstream  vehicles on the road today.
