Empower on Sales with Growing Snap-on Collision Coverage

Snap-on software includes new and enhanced coverage for airbag, intelligent cruise control, collision mitigation, electronic parking brake, head up display, lane departure warning, occupant classification, parking assist, radar sensor surround view mirror and more.

With its fall diagnostic software release, Snap-on offers more safety and Advanced Drivers Assistance Systems (ADAS) coverage than ever before. Technicians get more Vehicle Communications Systems, and now new Guided Component Tests targeted to this area of repair.

“Collision repair is not covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, regardless of vehicle age. This is good news for repair shops because the repair may be done outside of the dealership,” said Leian Wunderlich, software program manager, Snap-on Diagnostics. “Furthermore, many insurance companies pay for pre- and post-scans, where scans are required by vehicle manufacturers. This provides new opportunities for business growth.”

Snap-on software includes new and enhanced coverage for airbag, intelligent cruise control, collision mitigation, electronic parking brake, head up display, lane departure warning, occupant classification, parking assist, radar sensor surround view mirror and more.

  • Adaptive front lighting

According to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)’s latest findings, the technician shortage has reached critical levels, with an anticipated shortfall of 80,000 technicians by year’s end. The association reports that three technicians will exit the workforce for every new technician who enters. Ouch. 

It’s a rare dealer who hasn’t been affected by the technician shortage. And the deficiency disrupts not just the service department but the entire dealership. Extended wait times for service appointments frustrate customers and can lead to a decline in satisfaction levels. Compromised service quality due to understaffed service departments can damage customer trust and loyalty, ultimately impacting dealership profitability.
