I don't have any personal experience with the EASE brand, but I had a quick look on their I saw first hand how everyone else in town aligns cars, they suck at it!Īnyway, on topic. My current shop doesn't, so now I don't know how to get my car aligned.
I used to do all my own wheel alignments when I worked at a shop that had an alignment rack. I just cannot handle the idea of letting anyone else work on my cars, I am just way too picky So I welcome thoughts on the merits of the PC platform versus the stand-alone dedicated scan tool, and also what brands you have experience with and how did it go? Oh, and in case anyone is wondering why my kids drive newer cars than me it's cuz 1) they bought them and 2) I'm cheap. I just cannot handle the idea of letting anyone else work on my cars, I am just way too picky but my kids are now driving 20 vehicles and I am running into TPMS problems, P0300s, ABS lights, etc that I cannot currently diagnose. I have needed that bi-directional control SO many times. That kinda happened last time, I really wanted a KAL bi-directional that was about $700-ish but I had heard that SPX had just bought KAL and was going to shut them down so I opted for the less expensive Actron. Having said that, I will pay more to get what I need and feel better about it than skimping and getting something that doesn't do what I require. The PC Scan Tools offer better graphics, more storage, they're platform independent, upgradable since they run on PCs and such. The Troubleshooter in the Snap-On looks like it's worth it's weight in gold but the it's priced almost out of my reach. With all of that as a backdrop, I am torn between the EASE PC Scan Tool and the Solus Ultra. as well as the internal combustion engine both in principle and in real application. I understand logic circuits, how to use a scope, which I don't currently own, coils, motors, sensors, etc. I am a subscriber to Scanner Danner Premium channel and am working my way through that 'curriculum' so to speak, great stuff, that! I have a background in electronics and refrigeration and I am a CNC Programmer by trade, so, I am happy to say that this all makes sense to me. I bought an Actron 9150 in 2006 and began to try to learn about all of the newer technology that was in my kid's 2000 era cars and now I use it for my 2000 Tacoma and 2001 Solara. However, the electronics revolution kinda left me in the dust and the dark for a while. no joke, I rebuilt a 390 Ford at 15 and then there was no stopping me! I ran a very small auto repair shop out of my dad's garage in my late teens to early 20's doing tune-ups and carburetor, engine and automatic transmission rebuilds oddly enough I never worked on a manual despite the fact I never drove an automatic until 1998. I started working on cars at the age of 12 in 1972.
