I HAVE ALWAYS USED ALLDATA FOR THE LAST 20+ YEARS I HAVE NOW CROSSED OVER! IDENTIFIX GIVES MOTOR INFO WHICH IS WHAT WE GET WITH ALLDATA AND GIVES YOU OEM I FIND MYSELF NEVER HAVIGN TO CALL DEALERSHIPS ANYMORE FOR CURRENT TSB'S OR RESET / RELEARN PROCEDURES!!! That's my back up for when times get really tough. I thought you relied on Scotty Kilmer and youtube.LOL Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. I was thinking Haynes or Chiltons myself. If you're only going with one, I would suggest Alldata to be the most complete and easiest to navigate. No, Identifix would need to be in addition to one or the other.
#Change labor rate in shopkey pro manuals#
I heard something about Identifix adding repair manuals - do you think I could use it instead of alldata? It seems like it'd be good to have but I'd like to keep costs down if I can. Really helps narrow down what you are after. I like the search functions to find archived tech help. Huge waveform library and tons of archived and active tech help real world fixes.
#Change labor rate in shopkey pro trial#
You should be able to do a 2-week or so trial of it to see what you think.Īnother great source of info is a membership to IATN. I've used Alldata myself and it is pretty good. I'm not sure what pricing is on the others, but it runs $160 a month for ShopKey. Its owned by SnapOn and your dealer can set you up. 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.Īnother source you can look at is ShopKey. Most techs prefer Alldata over Mitchell but Mitchell does have some nicer wiring diagrams. It is a good compliment in addition to one of the other systems. Indentifix is basically a database of known fixes uploaded by people in the field. Identifix for repair shopsĪlldata and Mitchell offer the same types of products and they have different strengths and weaknesses within.Īlldata and Mitchell are both basically online factory service manuals with TSBs, parts and labor in addition to the service data.
