Thats great but they already charge you 4 arms and 5 legs plus your second born. I hope the pricing stays reasonable..
Correct me if I am wrong but "Rumor" is the scanner that chevy uses is close to $4,500.00 or more plus annual fees.

That's a pretty close to the price. I have no idea what they charge to update them which has to be done a lot. And repair prices are outrageous also.

The call the fee the annual maintenance fee by most companies and it varies typically from 200.00 to 1000.00 and this is with all forms of software. I have Autocad LT at home, each new upgrade runs close to 350 until this year it was 595.00. I have had Autocad from back in 91 when I went to school. It kept me working on a layoff year a while back.
Microsoft calls it a upgrade.

True. the upgrades may be software or hardware.
No offense to the hi tech Technicians, But some of the older mechanics do a darn good job of repairing and some of those could walk circles with the old points ignition around some of the newer mechanics that rely on their electronics.
Us old mechanics are still around somewhere. I went through Marine Diesel and outboard in the early - mid 70's

I liked the one day we needed a part for my truck from the dealer, and nobody knew what it was. They had to go find the "old guy" and he knew right away what it was and how to hook it up!
My grandpa and dad both could do anything as far as repairs go to a car...but not anymore... You can't believe how much easier it is to work on my truck...even I can do some things!
