Did you know that, regardless of a vehicle's age or popularity, there's no guarantee that an unverified aftermarket tool will provide a fully accurate scan? When the safety of the motorist is on the line, empirical data becomes crucial to ensure a proper repair. REPAIRIFY, INC. technicians post-scanned a 2017 Toyota Camry and found two trouble codes using the OEM tool. However, "Brand A's" aftermarket scan missed one of these codes, proving once again that aftermarket tools may not match the accuracy of an authentic OEM tool. At asTech, our Rules Engine removes the guesswork. With ongoing research from our global team of engineers, we continuously update and refine the Rules Engine database, ensuring that only the most accurate, verified scans are recommended for each vehicle. When it comes to vehicle safety, relying on data-backed solutions is non-negotiable.

Aftermarket scan tools can miss critical steps in the repair process, leading to overall incomplete repairs and potential safety risks for vehicle owners. When REPAIRIFY, INC. technicians post-scanned a repaired 2021 Ford Escape using the OEM Ford factory tool, they identified two historical fault codes in the seatbelt tension sensor that the leading aftermarket tool had missed. The OEM tool recommended further inspection, while the aftermarket tool cleared the vehicle without advising additional steps. Seatbelt tension is crucial for passenger safety, and such details cannot be overlooked. With the asTech Rules Engine, shops are guided to use verified tools that capture essential data, ensuring a safe and proper repair.

Every detail matters when it comes to vehicle diagnostics. A 2016 Honda Civic was scanned by REPAIRIFY, INC. technicians using both an OEM tool and an aftermarket tool. The results? The aftermarket tool missed critical data, detecting only one of two diagnostic trouble codes. This kind of gap could compromise repairs and, ultimately, motorist safety. The asTech Rules Engine helps shops make the most accurate and cost-effective choices, ensuring every vehicle receives a comprehensive scan. The Rules Engine rejects any unverified aftermarket scan tool, ensuring only tools verified as OEM-Compatible are used. For shops in the Honda Collision Repair Network, the Rules Engine offers even more customization, allowing shops to set rules that require only authentic OEM scans for Honda vehicles. By giving shops the power to make precise diagnostic decisions, we’re not only supporting the industry but also helping keep drivers and passengers safe on the road. Visit us at SEMA 2024, Booth #33201, to learn more about how the Rules Engine is revolutionizing vehicle care.

Your shop can choose the right scan tool without sacrificing accuracy or cost with the asTech Rules Engine. When our technicians scanned a 2021 Jeep Gladiator using the official Stellantis factory tool, we compared the results with a leading aftermarket tool, “Brand Y.” The results were nearly identical, showing that newer vehicles can be reliably scanned with certified aftermarket tools. The Rules Engine simplifies the decision-making process for shops by recommending either a remote OEM diagnostic scan or a certified OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan, giving repairers confidence that they’re choosing the right tool every time. This means you can confidently make the right call, ensuring efficient, accurate repairs and getting your customers back on the road safely. It’s about giving you the tools to work smarter and provide peace of mind to the people you serve.

When it comes to vehicle safety, the tools you use matter. After scanning a 2017 Kia Rio, REPAIRIFY, INC. technicians discovered a critical coverage gap between a leading aftermarket and OEM scan tool when the aftermarket tool failed to find two out of the three DTCs. Aftermarket tools may not provide accurate and complete results for each make and model, posing a safety risk if the inconsistencies are not properly addressed. To combat this, asTech’s patented and proprietary Rules Engine recommends the most accurate and cost-effective scan for each vehicle, down to the trim level. Whether it’s a remote OEM diagnostic scan or a verified OEM-Compatible aftermarket scan, the Rules Engine ensures you’re equipped with the right tool for the job.

Aftermarket tools can miss OEM data because the tools are not set to OEM standards, leaving gaps that could compromise the repair. As vehicles become increasingly complex, even one missed fault can have a ripple effect, impacting the entire job. The asTech Rules Engine leverages an extensive data set to ensure repairs meet OEM standards, so shops can return vehicles in their “ready-to-crash” state. Our goal is to give shops' customers peace of mind, knowing their vehicles are repaired to a high standard of safety and reliability.
