My job uses a Solus scanner. Works great. Helped me diagnose my ABS/Traction control problem and my oil pressure switch failure with the GTO. My boss bought it used from Snap On. How much,

As for manuals, Haynes and Chilton get my vote.

for the manuals you can get a membership of some sort with haynes or chilton where you pay a monthly fee and can access all of their books online

i dont know the details but i do know they offer that

ALLDATA as well. Works wonders.

**fieropope** · 07-10-2009, 08:07 PM

the modis will solve all problems, snap on fully loaded its 10g's but itll pay for itsself ,and from the best of my knowledge alldata is worth it too

Send me a PM if you are interested in Mitchells manauls...

We use the Solus by Snap-on. Also still have the older Modis. Both are decent tools. Alldata is a mainstay as Identifix. Like NoData, er Alldata but more for electrical issues. iATN is another good database for problematic repairs. Both iATN and Identifix have posted details about the corrective actions taken to fix issues. I use all three sources at my shop.
