    For Josh, the original poster; we need to know your (or your techs) experience and competence level using scantools. We also need to know exactly what you wish to accomplish,both short and long term.

    Seems complicated? It’s because it is. There are many ways to acquire tooling, but without some sort of plan you are likely to waste thousands down the drain. Sooner or later, we ALL buy a dud (tool with limited use/discontinued/obsolete,etc). Learn to avoid those as much as possible. A TechII in the hands of someone barely able to read and clear codes is a waste, and a Snap On solus Pro would be better in this case.

    Knowing your market would greatly aid the responses as well. Try listing the appr percentages of the makes you service or want to service, and an appr. budget you have for this tooling.

    FWIW, I would DEFINITELY not invest in a Genisys, much less TWO of them!

    My employee of 10 years left for “greener” pastures. I thought this’d kill me,and my gross sales dropped some 40%! My supplies and tools always balance now and are accounted for every day. I have no more BS govt paperwork to fill,no workman’s comp,etc. I decided to go it alone for at least 1 year until the economy (hopefully) recovers. I have figured out I have saved 8000$ over the past 8 months, so more net profit even though gross sales are down 40%. Guess my guy wasn’t pulling his weight.
