ThinkDiag‪+‬ 17+

What a smoking deal for a scanner that does what $3000 scanners do for only 300. I’m sick and tired of these scanners that nickel and dime you to death with expensive up front cost and expensive yearly subscriptions. I bought my ThinkDiag blue tooth scanner for about 120 with two free 1 year auto subscriptions and I chose GM and Ford for the freebies. I then bought VW and Toyota which was another 80 bones and I was thinking that “oh no I just bought another Snap-On device that will end up costing me thousands up front and around a thousand each year for everything”. Yesterday all my worries were flushed down the toilet. Another 130 bones for all car makes and special functions enabled for 2 years. You better get on this band wagon. For new users you pay 300 total for the ThinkDiag hardware with all cars makes enabled and all special functions enabled for 2 years before having to pay again. Thank you ThinkDiag for not wanting to become a financial thorn in my foot.

Im a technician for a Chevy dealership in Tulsa, OK. I chose GM, Chevy, etc. for my 1 year free subscription to a software package. While we have scanners that are issued to us to use I decided to try out this new toy on a 2023 Equinox that came in for a CEL diagnostic. Well long story short I apparently didn't get the software for new model years past 2019 when i bought this toy. I call it a toy because its a neat gadget and all but is lacking in some pretty serious ways that a professional technician needs to have ready access to in their daily grind. I had hoped to be able to use this new toy on makes and models that were not GM vehicles mostly but also wanted it for GM cars and trucks due to our issued MDI scanners and laptops sometimes taking an excessive amount time to do whatever we are needing done. Well my hopes and dreams for this little venture crashed and burned. I will say its handy to pull codes and do actuation tests on 2019 and earlier vehicles. But for anything newer than 2019 i have yet to be able to use it. Sry for any spelling errors. Im currently typing and not being able to see the words as everything here below the subject line is 100% blank. So theres that too. I guess they dont want bad reviews or any reviews at all to be posted lol t did

I bought the ThinkDiag on Kickstarter because it looked promising and I wasn’t let down. This has replaced my much more expensive diagnostic tool because for me I am only paying for the vehicle software I use. I’m not working on skodas or Peugeots where I live so I don’t have to pay for them. I can still do all of the test and diag functions that my $1500 scanner could at 1/10 of the price. If I do have an issue the customer service replies promptly and my issue is resolved. I have since purchased their tpms tool on Kickstarter and am waiting for that to arrive.
