Is is worth it? if you're a weekend warrior i'd suggest atleast an Autel scan tool. If its your every day profession, I recommend the snap on one. What do you guys think?

I’ve known about snap-on for decades now and I’m old, most of the time in the early days it’s selling point on spanner’s and screwdrivers was a lifetime guarantee, but it’s aways be one of those status iver lott brands, not for the Tony broke mechanic..either way the tools are overpriced…

I have this exact scanner. It is awesome. I do have the subscription to keep it updated. I use it everyday in my job and on the side. I will update to the D10.

@jakefoskett1604 sorry for the late reply. Just for updates. The subscription will save you money. FYI. I did upgrade to the D10. It's even better.

I always been using snapon scan tool for many of years one scan can't do all the work that's why you got to have more than one some times snapon does some car's better than my lanuch or aute.l autel and lanuch does some car's better than snapon that's why you got to have more than one scan tool.

No snap-on scan tool will accommodate this procedure. You’ll need a PC to run the GM software, you’ll need an account to purchase the flashing subscription, and a J2534 device to connected your PC to the car. Unless you’re going to do this 50x year, it’s worth it to just pay a mobile flash guy or the dealer.
