The Only Video You Need To Watch For Ford Diagnostics

Comment "FORD" for the full buyer's guide 👇

08/10/2025

This year alone we’ve had more than 1,200 calls from workshops worried about keeping service history consistent and protecting their customers’ records.

Here’s the challenge:

1/ Paper books go missing, get damaged or end up incomplete when a car changes hands.

2/ More and more manufacturers now log services digitally.

3/ If you can’t upload to the manufacturer’s record, your customer often has to go back to the dealer just to keep their history up to date.

That’s business you don’t want to lose.

The good news is there’s a way to stay in the game.

We’ve just shared a new YouTube video about the platform we recommend. Comment "SERVICEBOOK" and we’ll send it to you directly.

One central place that lets independent workshops update service and repair history across major brands.

Register your workshop once, add your details and credentials, then upload for BMW, Mercedes, Ford and more in the same simple format.

No extra portals. No extra admin. Just a complete, professional record that keeps your customers coming back.

If your workshop wants to stay competitive and protect customers’ service history, this is the way to do it.

Paper service books are on their way out.

For years, a car’s service history sat in the glovebox.
Stamped, scribbled, sometimes lost.

That is no longer good enough. Most manufacturers now log services digitally and for many it is mandatory if the car is still under warranty.

Here is the issue:

- Paper books get lost or incomplete when a car changes hands.

- If you cannot update the digital record, your customer often has to go back to the dealer.

That means lost time for them and lost business for you.

This is not a trend that is coming. It is already here.
If your workshop cannot upload to the manufacturer’s portal, you risk losing loyal customers to the dealer network.

That is exactly why we recommend Digital Servicebook.
One platform, all the major brands, a proper manufacturer-approved record your customers can trust without the admin headache or dealer price tag.

Keeping the record complete keeps the customer with you.

Tomorrow we're sharing a video that breaks down all the benefits of Digital Servicebook and explains why it may be the best option for your workshop.

The video will be live on our YouTube channel at 8am UK time.

Pass-thru tools bridge the gap, but only so far.
They’re often the first step when moving beyond aftermarket gear.
But for BMW diagnostics, they come with hard limits.

You’ll still need full AOS registration.
You won’t get guided fault-to-fix processes.
And programming? It can take 70% longer.

For workshops doing occasional jobs, pass-thru makes sense.
But if you’re seeing BMWs every week...it’s not the tool holding you back.
It’s the setup.

Resetting a DPF, fitting a NOx sensor, clearing crash data… aftermarket tools often make it look simple, then leave you wondering why the job isn’t done. OE tools don’t just give you a code, they guide you to the real fix - from pinpointing a pushed-back pin to programming modules correctly. The difference? Time, money, and confidence in every repair.

Most aftermarket tools look great on paper.

But when you get into the bay, the story changes:
– ECUs you can’t reach
– Live data streams that cut short
– Fault codes that don’t add up

That’s the reality many independents face.

So we set out to test, compare and push the leading aftermarket tools to their limits. Months of work, side-by-side.

And one tool stood out – the Autocom ICON.

Not as a dealer tool replacement. But as the most capable aftermarket option for workshops that need consistency and real-world reliability.

We’ve put together a full guide explaining where Autocom fits into your diagnostic strategy, and why it matters.

We just posted about this on our YouTube channel

We set ourselves a challenge:
“If we had to recommend just one aftermarket diagnostic tool to independents, which would it be?”

Months of testing followed.
Side-by-side comparisons.
Everyday use in the bay.

And one tool kept coming out on top.

On 30th September, 8am on our YouTube...we’ll reveal which one.

A lot of garages ask us the same question:

“What do we actually need to start working safely on EVs?”

Some think the investment is huge.
Others think EVs are too risky or only for dealers.

The truth?
EV work is approachable and if you know what equipment, training and processes are essential.

On 23rd September at 8am, we’re releasing a complete guide that covers:

- The core safety kit you need in your workshop
- Shutdown procedures and why they matter
- Training levels explained clearly

If you’re curious about getting set up for EV work, this will give you the clarity you’ve been waiting for.

We’re often asked what separates an aftermarket tool from an OE tool.

On the surface, the differences seem minor, but in practice they can be costly. From DPF regens that keep failing, to NOx sensors that won’t adapt, to airbag modules that can’t be reset – these are the jobs that drain time and margins when the tool isn’t up to the task.

We cover these real-world examples and more in our youtube video: Is Your Aftermarket Diagnostic Tool Costing You More Than You Think?

We’ve had countless requests for it… so we’ve put it together.

A full guide to Volkswagen Group diagnostics – covering everything you need to know to run VAG jobs in-house.

In this video we break down:
🔹 How to register properly with VAG
🔹 The official ODIS software and why it matters
🔹 Pass-Thru vs full OE equipment
🔹 The add-ons our OE experts actually recommend
🔹 Training and support to help you master the system

If you work on Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda or Cupra (and even Bentley, MAN or Lamborghini), this will show you how to diagnose, code and programme like the dealer network – but from your own workshop.

Watch on our YouTube channel on 16 September at 8AM UK.

BMW doesn’t just hand you a tool, they hand you the whole system.
Once you’re registered on AOS, you’re not guessing anymore.

You’re inside the same diagnostic ecosystem used by main dealers:
- Guided diagnostics
- Technical documents
- OEM parts lookup
- Programming & service history uploads

For independents serious about BMW, this is as close as you get to the factory floor.

We created the first ever buyers guide on the internet, breakdown everything you need to know when it comes to BMW OEM diagnostics. Comment "BMW" for a direct link to the buyers guide!
