34988NI Premium 134a A/C Machine
Robinair
- Bryan Brickson, Owner at Kent Auto Repair
I have had this machine for a year now and it is a timesaver. After a couple of quick checks like system has pressure and compressor pumps the next thing I want is a known good charge. It is fully automatic, Once programmed it recovers, vacuums, leak tests and charges. Leak test ? Dye? yes or no. Oil 1 or oil 2? how much? I can walk away and come back in 30 minutes or 3 hours. If it’s charged it passed the leak test. Start the vehicle check opera

XPR-12CL
Bend-Pak
- Michael Robinson, Service Advisor/Technician at SaabWorks
My employer purchased this lift to better service 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. I am the primary user. We use it on a range of vehicles from tiny BMW Z3s to diesel F-350s and everything in between. The triple telescoping arms are great for reach but start off just too high for many vehicles that are not trucks. The standard extended height is great and makes a huge difference when compared to the lift I used to have. But that's where the positives end.

Milwaukee 2767-20 M18 FUEL High Torque 1/2 in. Impact Wrench
Milwaukee Tool
- Bryan Brickson, Owner at Kent Auto Repair
It’s Heavy, it’s pricey at nearly $500 with the big battery and charger. This tool is for when you need power, it has it. 1400 foot pounds and it seems like more compared to a 1200 foot pound air impact. It has 3 different power levels, The first time I used it with a torque stick on high. It would have quickly twisted the wheel stud right off with the torque stick in use. High is for removal only and it’s coming off now. Cordless or hose-less is

OEMTOOLS 87039 Universal No-Spill Oil Funnel Set
OEM Tools
- Stephen Konyndyk, Owner/Technician at Endurance Auto Repair and Tire
We are a multi line independent shop. We do roughly 5-7 Oil changes a day among our 3 techs. Some of the vehicles we service are a pain to fill, Subaru, Toyota, Honda Odyssey and Pilots. I searched and did not want to spend 40-60 for each funnel plus the space needed. I ordered 1 of these and tried and now have 3 of them as they are a big mess saver.

Matco Tools
- Matthew Natter, Technician at Village Exxon
The scanner overall is fair as far as coverage and vehicle application. I purchased it with the TPMS tool which is not comparable with the scanner. Big downside!!!!! If and only if you can keep from breaking the contact pins on the charging station, which keeps you from charging the unit, I would give it one more star. For the price it's a good scanner. Do your research before you buy any scanner.
Lankar Pro
Autogence
- James Johnson, Owner/Technician at Glynn Diesel Service
I have used Lankar for many years now and have to say it is the smoothest shop management software I have seen. I purchased the system years ago, but they have a pay as you go setup now. I still pay a support fee each month, but it worth it for the peace of mind, computers being what they are. The few times I have had to use the support, it has been flawless. Very quick to respond, and quick to resolve the issue. I do backup my data every few hou

Vantage Pro
Snap-on
- Matthew Leonard, Owner/Technician at Leonard Automotive
One of the best diagnostic tools i have. It is my quick go to before i use my Escope. The connector views and component tests are at your fingertips quick. I think the scope and its capabilities are under estimated. My only problem is they do not make an update card anymore. All the files and recordings can be viewed on Shop Stream .
Vantage Pro
Snap-on
- Adam Czajka, Technician at Williamsburg Honda
Undeniably one of the most handy tools around. Especially with connector views, pin count, color coded wiring diagrams and how to both test a sensor, and what you should see if it's good. Very slick tool.
SocialCRM
Mitchell 1
- Tim Robinson, Owner/Technician at RMW Automotive LLC
Expensive and the worst customer service I have experienced from any of the CRM company's I have used in the least 6 years. There is no transparency as to what gets sent to clients or when. They use a dashboard for after the fact contact. Lazy account managers with not much insight or creativity to our industry.

112 coconuts a month is extremely expensive for this non user friendly, non intuitive product. The more they try to fix it the worse it gets. It does not work seamlessly with the manager program. That's sad.
