      Thank you for the feedback. I agree that having this type of information easily available is a necessity to be able to fix cars these days. A lot of people complain about the price, but I have been very hard pressed to find any information like this for free. I know there are forums, and you tube videos, etc. but the truth is, it is hard to know what information is accurate and what isn’t, coming from people we’ve never met. So, it is tough to find trustworthy information, as much as it is hard to find a trustworthy shop! So I believe the information we can get from Mitchell or Alldata, or Motologic, or Identifix, is well worth the price they charge. I just happen to prefer Alldata. Best of luck to you! Let’s get out there and fix something!

    Nice video. I just found your channel. I'm just a DIY'er that has been working on cars since I was about 16 and I'm now almost 56. I got interested in the diagnostic side of this about three years ago and have learned a lot watching some of the popular YT diagnostic technicians such as ScannerDanner, etc.
    I have used Alldata DIY for years and had a lot of subscriptions when it was around $12 for a year. I currently only have one subscription because I have factory service manuals for the rest of my vehicles.
    I bought a higher end scan tool last year and it really helped me diagnose some stuff on some of my family members vehicles. I have a Thinktool Pros as well as the scope for it. I have a bunch of other electrical diagnostic equipment that has come in handy.
    I look forward to watching your other videos and see what else you put out there.

    • @noprosgarage
      @noprosgarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos! I started working on cars around 18-19 years old, but not doing anything too “involved” because I felt intimidated by alot of things, so it wasn’t until about 5 years ago (I’m 39 now) where I decided, that I wanted to do the harder more involved projects, so I began little by little, taking on bigger projects like timing chains, heater cores, pulling motors, head gaskets, etc. There is one area that is still very foreign to me that I really don’t know much about at all, and that is transmissions.. I’m ok with taking them out, but I don’t know much about rebuilding a transmission. (Especially automatic).
      I too, like yourself, now enjoy the diagnostic side of auto repair, more than actually doing the repair. I enjoy knowing how something works, why it works, and what caused it to fail, and also being able to prove that my diagnosis was correct. Although I still make mistakes sometimes, it’s part of life, you just use it as a lesson, fix your mistake, and move on!
      Scan tools are definitely the way to go these days. Especially if you want to do any work on a modern car, they are a must! There are alot of great options on the market, but they are usually on the expensive side. I’m not too familiar with the thinktool, but I’ve heard good things about them. I’m an Autel fan myself, however, they can be pricey, and of course like everything else, Autel doesn’t “do it all”, so there are pros and cons to every brand/model out there. I hope this content helps you out! And stay tuned, there will be plenty more videos to come in the future!

      @@noprosgarage You are welcome. Diagnosing a car problem is like doing an investigation. I like the challenge of trying to figure it out but my one flaw is that I have no patience which doesn't work out too well sometimes. LOL.
      My Thinktool Pros is a Launch based tool that retails for around $1,100. I got mine on sale for about $850. I would also love to have a Pico scope but cannot justify the expense of one. I have the Thinktool Scope that goes with my scanner and a single channel Uscope.
      I have some other great diagnostic tools, some of which I have not used yet.
      I still do a lot of actual mechanical work on mine and other people's vehicles but for some things even though I can do them, I don't want to and have someone else do it. Mainly because it seems like everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.
      I do get a great sense of satisfaction though when I do repair something on my own and that keeps me still doing most things.

      @@Mr2004MCSS I am the same way when it comes to patience! Lol I do my best to keep calm, but sometimes the aggravation of these poorly engineered systems, or bolt placement, or lack of space for a hand gets the best of me! Lol I’ll have to check out the thinktool. I do like launch, my friend has the Launch x431 I believe it is? And that does some things that my Autel ms906ts won’t. I have the early scope that goes with the Autel which works pretty good, and I have a PicoScope. You can find some good PicoScopes for reasonable prices, but you have to really pay attention to the input voltages and sampling rates, and see if those specs will work for you. You can get attenuators and learn how to change settings to help with the voltage and sample rate issues, but it’s a learning curve. I believe the one I have (which was on the expensive side) is 200v input for example, where you can get one of their other models much cheaper, but they are a 50v input. You would just have to use attenuation when testing systems with high voltage like ignition coils so the input voltage doesnt fry your scope.
      I also like the challenge of trying to find the problem, but I do tend to get discouraged if I can’t figure it out. However, I’m a determined mindset, so I kind of force myself to continue looking, which then leads to discouragement and frustration lol.

      Hey Tom! Yes, identifix does have a “diy” but it seems to be expensive to me. Its $20 a month, but unless you cancel it when you don’t need it (like you haven’t worked on the car in a while) it’s a recurring charge which equals $240 a year for 1 vehicle. That seems pretty hefty to me. The pico 3000 series is a good scope, just always be mindful of your input voltage capability. I appreciate your subscription, and I will continue to put out content that will help you get more comfortable for sure!

    Great video. Ya good service info is essential. Alot of times you can troubleshoot faults with inexpensive tools if you have good info with specs, test procedures, and theory of operation. I have inexpensive tools. An xtool d8, a couple of hobby oscilloscopes, budget multi meters and amp clamps, and various accesories. I do fine for most repairs. I access Mitchell for free at the local library. Most libraries have subscriptions to pro service info for use on their computers. I can also access Chilton service info anywhere if I log in with my library id but its limited and you cant get info for all makes/models. Good free resources👍

If I’m not knowledgeable enough, I’ll state that in a comment, but I WILL do some research, and work on getting a video together! I definitely agree that the DIY versions of these programs are way more practical for people like us. $60 per vehicle for a year of unlimited information is definitely a huge advantage! The sites even give you recall information as well as technical service bulletins (TSB’s) where techs found common issues on vehicles, and put them on the web to help other techs in their diagnosis. It’s pretty cool! I appreciate the support (and knowledge) of what a millwright is, and what we do! 👍🏻 What is your profession?

      @Rob W That’s awesome! Which airline did you work for? That is literally my goal exactly! I don’t necessarily want to specialize in a certain type of car, but I would love to just do diagnostics in southwest Florida lol. (My wife is NOT having it though lol). What type of snap on scanner do you have? I like Autel myself. I would like a snap on scanner too because as I’m sure you know, there is no single tool that will do it all. I just can’t justify to my wife why I need another $5,000+ scanner right now. I also have a pico 4425A with a wps500 that helped me diagnose a clogged exhaust, as well as compression problems, and a ton of other stuff. How do you like the first look sensor? Do you think it’s worth it? And also, ALLDATA to me just seems easier. Mitchell has great info too, but they just seem outdated and they keep everything jumbled together. I do use them also though, when I can’t find something in ALLDATA, It becomes a great back up for me. I do know a lot of people who prefer Mitchell though too, so it’s all preference!

I definitely understand where you’re coming from, especially if you don’t work on your vehicle all the time. You can always go the monthly route, which is half that cost, but it can be pricey.

I never purchased anything beyond the 1 year sunscription and realistically I mostly went for the monthly subscriptions because I didn’t plan on working on the specific car constantly, so I just bought as needed. However, that is also personal preference as to what subscription is best for you, but, you are correct in the pricing, and it seems Mitchell is the obvious better deal. The only factor that comes into play is personal preference again, and which platform you like better. I happen to like alldata better and the way they structure their information. Also, I can’t speak on alldata’s site being down because I have not experienced it at all, and I use it constantly. Although I have upgraded to the professional subscription, I’m not sure if it’s entirely the same in terms of how the website runs or performs, so you may be correct there as well, I am just not aware of that, and I personally have never seen any down time on alldata.

    I'm a new auto locksmith and need the location for any car to determine the IMMO BCM location. Any suggestions what software to use that is reasonably priced for ANY vehicle?

    • @noprosgarage
      @noprosgarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      jroche26, that’s a cool trade to get into. I have some equipment for it myself, I have an im608, a dolphin xl005 (if that’s the right model number), and a few lishi tools. I am not a locksmith at all but I am trying to learn some of these immo systems. As far as a program for locations, to be honest, I’ve only used identifix, mitchell pro demand, and alldata. I happen to like alldata the best personally, but like anything else they all have their places and uses, and it’s beneficially to have multiple information sources if you could afford it. I only have alldata personally, but it does give you locations of modules and connectors and harnesses, etc. Pricing wise though, I think they are roughly all about the same, coming in about roughly $125-$200 a month for all access on most all cars. They also have diy versions where you pay roughly between $40-$60 per car for the year, but you would wind up spending way more money for the amount of cars you will be working on

    • @noprosgarage
      @noprosgarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      There are also a lot of other software sources that may be better suited for what you’re looking for, but I’m not familiar with any other ones, so I can’t speak to their pricing or if they have everything you’re looking for. I hope that helps. If you need more help and want to give me a specific car, I can look it up on my subscription and see if they have what you’re looking for.

However, I was never a big chilton or Haynes fan. I have come across some questionable and contradicting information (not a lot of bad info, but enough to make me look elsewhere).

    • @noprosgarage
      @noprosgarage  ปีที่แล้ว

      @Pete N the library can be a good place to get info for sure. I just know that not all libraries have auto subscriptions or books (like my own for example), so, that paired with the fact that I would have to go 15 mins to my library, search what I was looking for, print the info I needed (if a computer was even available, or if the books weren’t rented) then drive 15 mins home before I even touched the car, seemed like a lot of wasted time for me. So I figured the money spent on all data or Mitchell is worth the information they give, PLUS the convenience that comes with it. But of course everyone knows what’s more valuable to them, so there’s nothing wrong with any route, it’s all personal preference!

      I have not used identifix, I have looked at them in the past, however you have to own a business or work for a business to purchase a subscription to them, which is a few hundred dollars a month (or so I thought). However, I recently found out that they also now have a “DIY” version, but it is still quite expensive. They charge $20 per month, EVERY MONTH for 1 vehicle.. so you’re paying $240 a year for 1 car, when you can pay $60 for the year with ALLDATA, and $40 for the year with MITCHELL. I am curious how the identifix site operates compared to Mitchell and Alldata. Maybe I’ll get a subscription for a car for a month and check it out, and make a video comparing it to Alldata and Mitchell.

      @Kurt Vogler Hey Kurt. Thanks for checking out the channel! I completely understand where you’re coming from. Working on various vehicles without getting paid to do so and then having to pay for a service like these doesn’t make much sense. However, I have not found any free sites offering this type of information, which made me keep searching and eventually come across these diy sites, which I found to be the best scenario for weekend warriors like ourselves. There is one app I’ve used once or twice called “Carmin std” that you can download for free on your phone or Mac (if you have one) (I don’t think they offer it on windows), however I believe it only offers wiring diagrams, not procedures or “how to’s” on any system of any car. I haven’t used them enough to say if they’re worthwhile or not, but they are the only place I can think of that will offer you free information. I hope this helps, and I hope you find a solution that works for you! If I happen to find anything in the future, I’ll find a way to let you know about it!

      The diy versions of both ALLDATA and MITCHELL from what I’ve seen are for a U.S. market. There are a few European brands, but they more than likely are U.S. compliant versions of those cars. For example, they have Alpha Romeo, Land Rover, Mini, Audi, but we also have all those cars in the U.S., so I’m not sure if they would have the correct information if you’re looking for European cars, with European compliance.

    • @noprosgarage
      @noprosgarage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Honestly, in the beginning of my searching for websites, I had no experience in either site so I got a subscription to both sites for a single vehicle, and then I saw that there were minor differences, like I couldn’t find a torque for an intake manifold for one particular vehicle, so I got a subscription the the other site, and it was easier to find on that site. If you notice on the Mitchell site (in the video) however, I have a lot of expired vehicles because I like Alldata better, so I stopped wasting money. Every site offers different pieces of information though. Like identifix for example, offers the top issues or parts that could be causing a problem if you search their database with your symptoms. The other sites don’t do that (that I’m aware of). So sometimes multiple sources are worth it 👍🏻

      There are options to pick your plan. If you plan on keeping your vehicle for a while, you will be better off switching it to a year plan which will cost $60. Otherwise, if you want to keep the plan you have for a whole year, but choose to pay monthly, it will cost $240, for the same amount of time. When you go to renew your vehicle next, or add a new vehicle, make sure you look for the other payment options.

      It can be pricey for sure, but it depends how many vehicles you are going to work on, and how often.
