Why would you use an OEM diagnostic tool when a good aftermarket tool can already read the fault codes?

We wanted to see what the difference actually looks like on the same car.

So we plugged an Autel MS909S2 into a 2015 BMW, ran the vehicle scan and saved everything it could tell us.

Then we connected the genuine BMW ISTA system.

Same car. Same faults.

The question was how much more information would the OEM tool actually give us, and whether any of it would change the way we approached the diagnosis.

There was definitely more to this BMW than the first scan suggested.

Every workshop reaches the same crossroads with diagnostics: stay broad with limited access, or build the depth that lets you test properly, diagnose with proof and solve harder jobs with confidence.

Most workshops are losing technician time for a reason they don’t immediately see, and it often comes down to the dealer tool rather than the vehicle.

Software updates need installing.

Manufacturer systems can be difficult to navigate.

And when something technical goes wrong, one of your technicians usually ends up dealing with it.

That might only feel like a small interruption at the time…

…but across a week, it adds up to hours that could have been spend diagnosing, repairing and getting vehicles back out to the workshop.

In 2026, your technicians shouldn’t need to be the IT department as well.

Our DTS team currently supports 715 systems and resolved 5,439 tickets over the last 12 months.

Dealer Tool Support takes care of the technical side of running your OEM tools, including software updates, troubleshooting and help navigating manufacturer systems.

So your technicians can spend more time fixing cars and less time managing work that doesn’t need to be theirs.

And if you purchase an eligible complete dealer tool bundle from us, you can opt in for 2 months COMPLETELY free of our DTS service.

We just filmed our most highly anticipated video yet.

You all loved when we took some time to review the 5 most popular aftermarket tools in the market.

But we missed one.

Launch UK kindly gifted us an X431, so naturally, we put it through the same test.

Usability.
Accuracy.
Speed.
Security gateway access.
Price.

And now we know exactly where it sits against Autel, Autocom, Zenith, TOPDON and XTOOL.

If you want us to send you the video directly, comment “X431” and it’s yours.

Before you watch it though...

Where do you think it ranked? 🏆

“Fantastic video, I could watch you teaching all day 🙂.
Some different tools I was unaware of.”

That comment sums up exactly why we create these videos.

Our goal is to educate the aftermarket on the tools, software and setups that can help independent garages make better decisions before they invest.

In one of our latest YouTube videos, we put five of the most popular aftermarket diagnostic tools on the same vehicle and tested them side by side.

Not based on brochures.

Based on how they actually perform in the workshop.

We looked at capability, coverage, ease of use, daily usability and whether they give technicians enough confidence to use them as part of their normal diagnostic process.

Feedback like this makes the work worthwhile because the more garages understand what is available, the easier it becomes to choose the right setup for the jobs they want to take on.

Comment “5” and we’ll send you the video directly.

We sat down and put the Autel MS909S2 against the official VAG diagnostic tool.

Same vehicle. Same jobs. Two very different routes to get there.

We gave them two challenges to see:

- how quickly we could get to each job
- how much information each tool gave us along the way
- how straightforward the process was
- and which one we’d be reaching for next time

Which one do you think hit all the marks?

“Why wasn’t Launch included?”
“Where is Launch?”
“Launch should be in the line-up.”

You asked and you shall receive.

Previously, we reviewed 5 of the most popular aftermarket diagnostic brands:

- Autel
- Autocom
- TOPDON
- Zenith
- XTOOL

Now, Launch gets the spotlight.

We’ve put the tool through its paces to see how it performs, where it stands out and whether it deserves a place in your workshop.

Comment “X431” and we’ll send you the video directly.

You asked. So we filmed it.

Launch were kind enough to gift us their diagnostic kit to feature in our Aftermarket Comparison series.

But gifted or not, the rules stay the same.

We only share our honest thoughts on what the tool does well, where it falls short and where we think it fits in a workshop.

The full video goes live tomorrow (29 September 8AM UK)

The verdict is in.

We’ve previously reviewed 5 of the most popular aftermarket diagnostic tools.

Now, Launch is joining the line-up.

We put it through the same kind of testing to see how it stacks up against the competition.

And in this week’s YouTube video, all is revealed.
Tune in on Tuesday at 8AM UK.

Before you watch it, have a guess below 👇

Where do you think Launch came in? 🏆

Over the last 12 months, our Dealer Tool Support team resolved over 5,400 tickets from workshops needing helping like:

“How do I get this software updated?”
“Where do I find this function in the manufacturer system?”
“Why has my dealer tool suddenly stopped doing what I need it to do?”

The reality is:
- Dealer software needs updating
- Manufacturer systems aren’t always straight forward to navigate
- Technical issues can quickly eat into technician’s time

And when your tech is the only dealing with it, that’s time they’re not spending on the vehicles coming through the door.

Dealer Tool Support gives your workshop a team that handles the technical side of your dealer tools, from software updates to troubleshooting and help navigating manufacturer systems.

If you purchase an eligible complete dealer tool bundle from Maverick, you can currently opt in to get your first 2 months of Dealer Tool Support service completely FREE.

Comment “DTS” and we’ll send you the details.
