Car makers are required by law to develop the maintenance software for their brands add to the that the fact they are not supposed to be supporting independent dealers or service garages, so they charge exuberant sums of money for Auto Diagnostics tools & software to their surprise it has become a multi-billion Pound Industry in relatively a short time. The need for more powerful Auto Scanner Tools has driven much of that growth, All the Car makers have noticed this sending in “the numbers men” to squeeze more milk from this proverbial cash cow, expect more and more Tech going into cars.
