Your main diagnostic tool shouldn’t be tied up every time someone needs to do a quick scan.

That’s where the XTOOL A30X makes sense in a workshop.

For £100, it gives technicians a simple way to plug into a vehicle, connect through their phone and quickly:

- Run a full-system scan
- Read and clear fault codes
- Check live data

So while your main diagnostic platform is being used on a more involved job, another technician can still get answers without waiting for the tool to become free.

That means more diagnostic capacity across the workshop without immediately buying another full-size machine.

It won’t replace your main diagnostic platform, but for quick checks and initial assessments, it can be a very useful bit of kit to have to hand.

We tested the A30X properly on a 2021 Skoda Enyaq to see what it can actually do.

Watch our YouTube video (8th September 8AM UK) to see the scan, live data, special functions and where we think this tool fits in a workshop.

Over 715 dealer tool systems are helping technicians from getting stuck behind a laptop and getting more vehicles through the workshop.

- Jobs are being completed faster.
- Less time lost to software hiccups.
- Better use of technician hours.

= More money through the door.

Across those systems, our team resolves over 5,400+ support tickets in the last 12 months.

Most commonly helping with:

👉 Software updates
👉 Navigating dealer systems
👉 Technical issues affecting the dealer tool

If you're buying an eligible complete dealer tool bundle from Maverick, you can currently opt in to get your first 2 months of our Dealer Tool Support service for FREE.

“What is SERMI?”
“Does my workshop even need it?”
“Once I’m SERMI approved, do I still need to register with the manufacturers?”

We’ve heard these questions a lot recently.

The important thing to understand is that SERMI is essentially a security passport for workshops and technicians accessing security-related OEM functions.

And it isn’t just about key programming. Depending on the manufacturer, it can also cover immobiliser work, module programming and other protected functions.

SERMI doesn’t replace manufacturer registration.

You’ll still need to register with each OEM, meet their individual requirements and access the correct subscriptions and software.

So we broke down the full process, from getting SERMI certified to what you still need to do with the manufacturers afterwards.

To celebrate hitting 10K followers on here, we’re giving you an exclusive before we share it anywhere else.

We recently spoke with a garage owner who kept getting asked:

“How do you get so many vehicles through the door?”

He’d been gatekeeping the answer for a while.

But eventually he gave it up:

“It’s Maverick’s DTS support.”

The danger for a lot of workshops is that when dealer software needs updating, a technician can end up losing half a day around one download.

Not necessarily sitting there staring at the screen the whole time, but starting the update, checking it, getting pulled onto something else, coming back to it and dealing with anything that hasn’t gone to plan.

Then you've got:
- Manufacturer releases.
- Technical issues.
- Navigating different dealer systems.

All of that takes time away from the job the technician is actually there to do.

That’s exactly what Dealer Tool Support is designed to take off their plate.

We currently support 715 dealer tool systems and resolved 5,439 support tickets over the last 12 months.

That works out at over 450 dealer tool issues resolved every month.

And 99% of tickets are resolved within 1 hour and 25 minutes.

The result is less technician time spent managing dealer tools and more time spent fixing cars and getting vehicles through the workshop.

If you buy an eligible complete dealer tool bundle from Maverick, you can currently opt in to get your first 2 months of DTS free.

SERMI is not a one-step ticket to OEM access.

It helps prove that an independent workshop or technician is approved to access security-related repair information and functions, including key data, immobiliser work and anti-theft systems.

But SERMI is only one part of the process.

Every manufacturer still has its own:

- Registration process
- Diagnostic portal
- Software requirements
- Subscription costs
- Access rules

In tomorrow's video, we explain how SERMI works, how it fits into manufacturer registration and what independent garages need to prepare before applying.

A lot of workshops are still updating BMW service history the long way.

Typing in the VIN manually.
Entering mileage themselves.
Working in kilometres.

It works, but it slows everything down and leaves room for mistakes.

With the BMW key reader, you place the key on the device, let it read the data, and the system pulls through the VIN, mileage and vehicle details straight away.

That means no retyping, no conversions, and a much cleaner service history entry.

In our latest video, we walk through how to upload and transfer BMW online service history using the key reader method.

A closer look into the official OEM BYD diagnostic tool

We love filming software walkthroughs because the systems are always changing, and even when you know the setup well, there’s usually something new to learn.

That’s exactly what happened during our latest BMW video.

What started as a simple service history test using an aftermarket tool and the genuine BMW setup turned into a proper real-world lesson on how the two systems behave on the same job.

it’s the kind of thing independent garages need to see, especially if they’re using aftermarket tools alongside BMW AOS.

Every Porsche turned away is work, revenue and potentially a customer handed to someone else.

For a lot of independent workshops, the assumption is that modern Porsche diagnostics can only be handled with the full dealer-level PIWIS setup.

But there is another route.

Porsche’s pass-thru system can give independent workshops access to:

- Diagnostics and service functions
- Coding and programming
- Coverage across older and newer models

The important part is understanding which setup to choose, what it can realistically handle and what is required to get it running properly.

In tomorrow’s video, we’re running through all things Porsche pass-thru, so you can decide whether it could help your workshop keep more Porsche work in-house.

Watch it on our YouTube channel on 25th August at 8AM UK time.

JLR diagnostics is not just one tool anymore

When it comes to Jaguar Land Rover, you’re not just choosing one tool and cracking on.

You’ve got
- different software
- different VCIs
- different vehicle ages
- different access routes
- different subscriptions

depending on what you’re actually trying to do.

Older Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles generally sit in the SDD era, using Symptom Driven Diagnostics with the correct JLR VCI.

Then you’ve got the short-lived Pathfinder setup, which was introduced for newer vehicles around 2018 onwards but has since been superseded.

Now, for current JLR diagnostics, the main platform is TOPIx Cloud, which is browser-based, much lighter to run and automatically kept up to date when you log in.

Then there’s the legacy side with T4H for much older vehicles, plus additional equipment like the IDU2 if you’re getting into more advanced non-intrusive testing.

So before a workshop asks, “which JLR tool do I need?” the better question is:

what age vehicles are you seeing, and what level of work do you want to carry out?

Because servicing, fault diagnostics, programming, coding, key work and security-related modules can all change what you need.

That’s why we’ve put together a full JLR Buyer’s Guide covering the hardware, software, subscriptions, registration process, laptop requirements and support options.

Comment “JLRS” and we’ll send you the full guide.
