Access to information has long been a challenge for service shops. Without the right diagnostic tools and software, shops see their fleets turning to the dealers for both service and parts. Aftermarket distributors can turn this threat into an opportunity. This panel will help you understand what tools are available and how you can use them to better service your customers and help diagnose their repairs both now and in the future. This session will feature the following speakers:
