BTDTGTTS, it looks like you've made some good decisions. What are you using for programming- J2534? Which one? What exactly are you looking for feedback on? Which scope? MOD/Alldata? Be careful of leasing too much- it is a common mistake for a new shop owner to do this.

for 20k, i assume you got an MT5200, Tech II, and a Mastertech.

 

you are well outfitted for just about anything that comes through your doors, the biggest thing is keeping them up to date.

 

the MT5200 is a nice tool, learn to use it and all its functions and it will speed up diagnostics. just be warned the battery lasts about 14 minutes off the vehicle. the touch screen is sensitive, so make sure it is stored well.
