Really getting ridiculous when you need a computer and/or OEM software to reprogram a brake system or spend $1000 for a brake tool for one car manufacturer. They are really taking the low road to get the most money out of someone for the price of a car.

They just don't want us to be able to fix our own cars anymore. If we conyinue to learn then the car manufactures wont make their money as easy. It is like when they build them, they don't care how things have to be repaired just make it compact and to hell with the mechanic.James

Car manufactures are releasing the bare minimum diagnostics to 3rd parties and making parts that require specific tools.
I see the "shade tree" mechanics (as the Auto companies call them) not being able to repair new cars in the next 5 years.

On the bright side, Advance has started a loaner tool program. If you're willing to put down a deposit, they'll let you borrow a tool. I haven't tried it yet, but I wonder how deep their toolbox goes.
