SERMI Update Explained 👇

29/04/2026

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.

BYD’s growth is not just happening in China.

In the UK alone, BYD reached over 51,000 registrations in 2025.

In the same year, in Europe, it even moved ahead of Tesla on pure EV registrations.

Which means for garages here in the UK, BYD is becoming a real workshop brand, not just a brand in the headlines.

In tomorrow's YouTube video, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about BYD OEM diagnostics.

You'll learn about:
- the official setup
- the portal access
- the hardware
- and update behaviour

Watch it on our channel 28 April 8AM UK!

Which aftermarket diagnostic tool is actually worth buying right now?

That is the question we set out to answer.

We took 5 popular brands, plugged them into the same EV, and compared them across the areas that genuinely affect workshop use:

- how fast they boot up
- how well they identify the car
- how accurate the fault reporting is
- how strong the secure gateway access is
- and whether the price feels justified

There were a few surprises in the rankings.

If we were setting up a garage today, we would not start with the ramp.

We would start with the systems and tools that actually keep the place moving.

That means:
- garage management software
- digital service book access
- battery support
- an aftermarket diagnostic tool
- and the right equipment to handle modern vehicles properly

It's no secret that the garage environment has changed.

👉 The vehicles are more complex.
👉 Customer expectations are higher.
👉 And the margin for getting things wrong is smaller.

In this video, we break down the tools we would consider essential if we were building a workshop from scratch today.

Tesla still makes a lot of independent garages hesitate.
Not because the cars are impossible to work on.
But because the diagnostic process is different.

Most multi-brand tools only get you so far.
You might pull basic fault codes, but deeper access is where most garages get stuck.

Tesla Toolbox gives you the proper service functions, routines and dealer-level access Tesla work often requires.

In tomorrow’s YouTube video, we break down how Tesla diagnostics work, where generic tools fall short, and what independents need to know before taking this work seriously.

We’ve just reviewed two of XTOOL’s newest tools side by side:

1️⃣ XTOOL Prodigy
2️⃣ XTOOL E2 Pro

We did a full walk-through of each one to see how they actually perform on the things that matter in a real workshop:

- ease of use
- speed
- diagnostic depth
- EV and hybrid capability
- and overall value for money

so you can decide: Which one is actually WORTH adding to your workshop?

See how we got on in this week’s YouTube video.

The aftermarket is spoilt for choice when it comes to diagnostic tools right now.

Last week, we shared a full walkthrough of the XTOOL Prodigy on our YouTube channel. This week, we’re looking at its younger sibling, the XTOOL E2 Pro.

On one side, you have Prodigy as a strong all-round diagnostic platform for workshops needing full-system coverage, topology mapping, active tests and broad support across modern vehicles.

On the other, you have the E2 Pro, built more specifically for EV and hybrid work, with battery insights, off-vehicle testing and advanced functions for technicians wanting to build stronger electric vehicle capability.

Different tools. Different strengths. Different fit depending on the type of work coming through your doors.

We sat down and walked through both so you can see what they offer and decide which one makes the most sense for your workshop.

Comment "XTOOL TESTS" and we’ll send you both videos directly.

Tesla jobs often get turned away for one simple reason: the usual workflow doesn’t apply.

Independent garages are used to plugging in a multi-brand tool and navigating through familiar modules. Tesla vehicles are built differently.

Many of the functions technicians expect to access through a diagnostic tool actually live inside the vehicle’s own software environment.

Without the right route in, you can read a few faults but struggle to go any further.

For workshops that want to take Tesla work on confidently, the key is understanding the proper setup, the correct access, and how the software ecosystem around the vehicle works.

Once that’s in place, the job becomes far more straightforward than many garages expect.

EV work isn’t “high voltage” all day.

Most of it is the boring, profitable stuff you already do.

The difference is EVs are heavier, have more torque, and rely on systems that normal cars don’t, which creates repeatable maintenance work:

- brakes and handbrakes still need attention (regen just changes wear)
- suspension arms and bushes take a beating
- driveshafts and gearbox oil checks don’t disappear
- thermal management is the sleeper issue: if the heat pump or cooling circuit leaks, battery performance drops fast

You don’t need a dealership setup to start.
You need TechSafe, 1000V gloves, insulated tools, and a proper meter.

We filmed a video breaking down what independents can actually take on, and where the best add-on revenue is.

Last week, we shared a complete walkthrough of the XTOOL Prodigy, a new aftermarket tool that has recently launched in the UK.

This week, we’re looking at its younger sibling: the XTOOL E2 Pro.

It’s built specifically for electric and hybrid vehicle work.

The main things that stand out:

- Dedicated EV and hybrid diagnostics with battery health insights including SOC, SOH and fault code reading
- Off-vehicle testing for components like DCDC converters, compressors and motor controllers
- Advanced repair functions including BMS data recovery, gateway simulation and support for selected Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Tesla applications

We sat down and ran through what it offers, how it works, and where it could fit into a real workshop so you can decide whether it’s worth adding to your own setup.

If you’re looking at EV and hybrid capability in particular, this is one worth paying attention to.
