Find a shop with a waste oil heater, donate it, and make a friend. Waste oil companies are scammers in our neck of the woods.

We use the NAPA VIN scanner. When a car arrives, my job is to scan it, assign it to a customer, enter in the mileage and if I choose, enter in any notes be they damage remarks or symptoms. I click enter and they are in my desk laptop in a heartbeat. The pro link then can order parts and I can copy and use in any place the VIN is needed.

This little gadget has speeded things up considerably. I don't have to ask my husband later if it's a 2L or a 2.2L engine. I can order everything using the decoded VIN in advance and even tell him what services are suggested according to the mileage before he has even touched the car.

I greatly appreciate the feedback. I guess we will continue with what we have now. So next question. Your favorite diagnostic tool? (Other than your brain

Hi,

We are a small family owned and operated shop that is bursting at the seams. As we continue to grow and are able, I would like to add to our equipment. What are your recommendations for equipment for a 4 bay shop for a coolant flush and a brake flush machine? I see what I think are decent machines in the $2500.00 range and that is ballpark of what we can budget. I appreciate your feedback.
