I was a loyal customer that started with a 2000. the tool was neat when it works but it has made me lose more jobs because of not working. I will be posting my experience with this tool on you tube so other people know what to expect because no customer service to keep customer happy equals bad publicity. The classic does not have the battery drain so go for that one if you are not going to use it every day. OTC tech says that is how the tool is designed and claims no secret to It.
#Genisys scan tool rekeying plus#
BIG PLUS is that the battery goes dead by itself in 3 days plugged into it so don't expect it to be ready when you need it. the famed printer option only works with obsolete printers. That equals to me purchasing a tool that basicly is refurbished. The OTC reps point fingers at each other and I sit with a turd I have to send in for repair. I purchased an evo 4.0 6 weeks ago and found out the tool keeps locking up on me, I wasted my time with tech support and am now stuck with a tool that locks up every time I use it. I currently have the "pegiSh!t" and have finally got otc to take it back.i have had nothing but trouble with it.i think it was released too soon.in 6 months i have had it it has been 2 otc 2 times amd updated at least 4 times.not a good product I have a pico 4 channel high resolution scope.I just need a scan tool.I have a auto enginuity scan tool/escan scan tool and a snap on scan tool.the mtg2500.I love my auto enginuity and also my escan. (This post was edited by Sidom on May 30, 2009, 7:22 PM) Most of time it's fine but there are a few times where you need that 3rd & 4th channel. The one thing I'm leary about is the 2 channel scope. I will have to admitt the Pegisys did impress me. It's a nice unit but I've noticed when things get fast I still grab my Modis 1st.
Our shop got one a few weeks back & I still have got use to it yet. If you decide on SO I would stay away from the Verus right now. Plus I noticed you got Euro & med truck as part of the package. I did like it's touch screen better than the Verus. I got to use a Pegisys a little bit ago for just a little bit. If you are going to go with OTC it seems like a Pegisys might be a better bet, unless you are getting a real good deal on the Genisys. The advantage the Modis or Verus has over OTC is a 4 channel DSO compared to OTCs 2 channel. I haven't used OTC too much but both OTC & SO have gaps in coverage. I've noticed OTC is usally cheaper that SO especially on updates. I guess it depends on how much you want to spend. We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. The menu system in the OTC is pretty slow. If you are using the higher end Snappy, the Genesis will disappoint you.īeing way2old is why I need help from younger mindsĪlthough the OTC will do much more on a GM product, I would prefer using the snap on any time.
If you are using entry level Snappy tool, the Genesis will be better.
That answer would be dependent upon which Snappy tool you are using. I use several scan tools including snap on.I was thinking about buying a otc genisys evo.Does anyone think this is a better scan tool then a snap on? Auto Repair Home> Automotive World> General Discussions
