Theirs a guy with a brake problem over on the tool board, ABS/traction control lite on. See’in as you are opening up your shade tree and werk fer $30 hr. I recommend he go to you. Good scan tool $4000, @ $30 hr. he would need to use it fer 133.33 hr. to pay fer it and lets not fergit updates @ $1000.00 a year. So the first year he’s into it fer $5000.00 so he would need to werk it 166.67 hr with no profit to pay fer it. Don’t fergit sales tax so add a nutter 10 hr. are so. So we close down the shade tree and would be lucky to git 1/5 th of the investment back, its out of date now. So kin sumone tell me were to git a good nail hammer when it rains I still have'ya werk and would like a roofers holiday from time to time.
