vehicle storage; it gives technicians
access to a vehicle's history, so they have
a complete understanding of how best

The future of scan tools isn't at
all bleak; with features like intelligent
vehicle storage, technicians will have a
stockpile of information on the vehicles
they are repairing, allowing them to see
the last codes and information a vehicle
stored, explains Launch Tech's Siegel.
"It's really critical," he says. It's like
