- Customers have access to OE-trained brand-specific master technicians to provide remote repair guidance for today's complex vehicle systems
- Customers receive comprehensive vehicle reports generated remotely by the team of specialists using OEM factory software
- ADAS support and calibration performed remotely by the team of OE-trained specialists
- Functions as a stand-alone J2534 vehicle communication interface (VCI) when used with a PC and OE purchased subscriptions
A word from Snap-on
“We understand that customers have different needs when it comes to flash programming and sometimes it’s hard to match those needs to one product or the other,” said Helen Cox, marketing and client services director, Snap-on Diagnostics. “With the new Pass Thru Assistant+, technicians have the best of both capabilities – they can do the programming themselves or have an OE-trained technician handle the job so they can stay productive in the bay.”
“While J2534 programming can be a difficult task and not everyone wants to take on what can be complex and time-consuming, the Pass Thru Assistant+ can be used by any technician or shop, regardless of experience, to keep vehicles in-house and increase profits,” concluded Cox.
