And we all know profitable used cars are. Due to the shortage of cars these days, the dealer is taking in on trade, all makes and models and wants to sell the used cars. The dealer techs are not trained and not familiar with the different car lines, being a Chrysler-only dealership. The shop owner was approached by the GM of the dealer to service some of the used cars they have been taken in on trade and want to sell. And, the big news is: This shop is profiting from this relationship! But, the story brings up a few interesting facts. I will change some of the details a request from the shop owner. There is a large repair shop in the mid Atlantic states (they want to remain anonymous) that just formed an alliance with a local new car dealer to service their used cars. I really think this industry is changing so fast, it is warp speed !!!! I have zero confidence in this machine today. My Snap on guy is a great guy although I am about to go at it with Snap On. I am sitting here typing this going why in the world would I pay 6 grand for a verus that will not reset a DEF light. Go right into the heater codes, reset the 3 heaters and bingo no DEF light, vehicle is out of limp mode. I literally walk out to the truck unbox this thing ,I have never used a tech 2 in my life. I was like ,wth, so i 2 day aired me this $380 tech 2 scanner to my house. I was looking online at a Corvette forum about a cloned Tech 2 he purchased on Fleabay. He says, i am going to drive it 50 miles to this guy who can turn this def stuff off. Customer starting to get irritated about this, not pissed at me me just the whole def thing. I go pick up truck/ reflash at my shop with J box, take to another local diesal guy we go in with these snap on scanners, still nothing. I send to dealer to resett DEF, they say looks like bed ECM/BCM. replaced the heater went to reset with Verus, still in limp mode. Had one of my good customers drive up in duramax in limp mode.
