With Snap-on's latest software release, technicians will gain access to millions of new codes, tests, tips, and data to extend their tools' capabilities. In addition to new coverage, guided component tests, and features, the software release contains everything from previous releases for smarter fixes that lead to complete repairs and satisfied customers. 

The latest release extends the diagnostic tools' capabilities with 2025 model year updates for 14 OEMs as well as new expert-based information. In every software upgrade, Snap-on adds coverage for late and older domestic, Asian, and European models, and this release is no different with 70,000 new systems added and 600 more functional tests, plus 2025 code scan and clear for all makes. 

Also included are guided component tests and images to locate components faster, helping to speed up and simplify the diagnosis and repair process. This data is enhanced and updated with information based on real experience, and straight from technicians and validated by Snap-on engineers. 

Technicians and shop owners who are already software subscribers can perform their own software installation by downloading the lastest software release through the ShopStream self-service application. Platform instructions are available on Snap-on's website.

A word from Snap-on

“Snap-on diagnostic tools are known for outstanding performance, solid construction and intuitive design, along with instant access to online and in-person training solutions,” said Helen Cox, marketing and client services director, Snap-on Diagnostics. “But what really sets them apart is what’s inside, both when they are built and over the life of the tools. Staying up to date with each software release ensures that technicians have access to what they need to be efficient and productive in the service bay.”

“With vehicle and system coverage consistently evolving, Snap-on software is actually updated year-round,” said Jason Gabrenas, national trainer, Snap-on Diagnostics. “Not only do we have two major software updates during the year, in the fall and spring, but we also have releases that happen in between. Plus, services that we provide, such as Fast-Track Intelligent Diagnostics and SureTrack, are updated monthly, weekly and sometimes daily, depending on the information that is available. That’s why it’s important that technicians stay current with their software and stay connected to Wi-Fi, so they don’t miss out on new features, performance enhancements and access to the latest vehicle coverage throughout the year.”
