  Vehicle System Reports

Performing a pre-repair scan can find hidden issues and make sure customers are aware of problems before any work is done, while a post-repair scan confirms for them that repairs and services were completed properly.

A pre-scan report, done prior to work taking place, will highlight all issues to your customers and show the need for further investigation, while a post-scan report after the work is complete will show that the repairs were completed properly.

The latest Snap-on diagnostic software update makes that process even easier by linking closely to the Snap-on cloud system.

Automatic uploading to the Snap-on cloud of Vehicle System Reports generated for pre- and post-scans can be carried out on the ZEUS Series™, TRITON Series™, APOLLO Series™, VERUS® Edge, MODIS Edge™ and SOLUS Edge™ platforms.

From the Snap-on cloud, they can be printed, e-mailed or sent via text to help strengthen customer confidence in your services - and they can be used to fulfill mandates by manufacturers and insurance companies for pre- and post-collision work as well.

  Snap-on Security Link

Last year we introduced Snap-on Secure Vehicle Gateway™ (now known as Security Link™) - a solution to support technicians working on vehicles that have restricted access. Secure gateway modules are being put in place by manufacturers to ward off unauthorised access and potential cyber-attacks. The presence of these modules means that access to certain diagnostic functions on the vehicle requires registration and authentication through an approved scan tool.The Snap-on Security Lin™ is designed to help navigate through this new process on 2017 and newer FCA models.

  Fast-Track® Intelligent Diagnostics

Fast-Track Intelligent Diagnostics provides you with the fastest path to complete the job.

What makes it unique is that it anticipates your next move and guides you through every step to find the solution by displaying only information relevant to the specific vehicle and fault code.

Not only is Fast-Track Intelligent Diagnostics comprehensive enough to provide all the diagnostic and repair tips you need, it’s also smart enough to skip the ones you don’t. 

"Smart Data" from Fast-Track Intelligent Diagnostics automatically configures the display on your applicable platform to show vehicle data parameters (PID) relevant to the fault code, while non-related data parameters are filtered out to save you time.

It also highlights vehicle data that is out of expected range. 

Access to Fast-Track Intelligent Diagnostics is available on the Snap-on ZEUS Series™, TRITON Series™ and APOLLO Series™ platforms and requires an applicable software agreement, which more than pays for itself through its depth of information and time savings.
