Alot of people know I am a massive fan of the whole Autel product range, as a small business I need to sell products that are right for me as well as my customers. 

Autel UK have released the MS908 IM Key programming tool, it will not be for everyone but as a budget all makes key programmer I dont think much will beat it.

The DS808EU is the ‘little brother’ of the MaxiSys MS906 and both tools share very similar software, making the DS808EU fabulous value for money. The MaxiDAS DS808EU, is a smaller tablet than the MS906, with 7″ touch colour screen.

We are proud to announce we are the UK dealer for GMTO Remote diagnostics, the product offers module programming, key programming, ADAS Calibrations, VAG ACC Module coding, plus guided diagnostics. We have Remote locals in both the UK and Netherlands and constantly looking to add new functions. 

​Everything in today's world is becoming more technologically advanced including vehicles. The standard inbuilt systems are becoming more intelligent meaning maintenance and servicing requires new knowledge and kit.

Here at Impact tuning and diagnostics, we are making sure the diagnostics kit we offer is up to date with the latest capabilities. This also means up to our industry-leading standards. The latest of these advancements that is becoming more common on the road is ADAS Systems. You could be dealing with vehicles already that have ADAS as standard but are you ready for ADAS calibration? 

​ADAS means vehicles are now more intelligent then ever before. They collect and use data in new ways to keep drivers safe. These uses include but are not limited to:

Adaptive Cruise Control
Adaptive High Beams
Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
Blind Spot Monitoring
Collision Warning/ Detection System
Driver Monitoring (Drowsiness Detection)
Lane Departure Warning
Night Vision
Pedestrian Detection
Parking Assist (Rear View Cameras)
Traffic Sign Recognition


Vehicles fitted with ADAS technology will have cameras mounted centrally on the windscreen. This means when a windscreen is replaced, the ADAS will require re-calibration to ensure all systems are working correctly. Advanced ADAS systems can also include cameras and sensors in the front and rear bumpers and wing mirrors for full 360 degree applications. the number of scenarios where work is completed that requires recalibration of these systems is endless and failing to do so can result in customers leaving your garage in danger.

At Impact Tuning and diagnostics I am proud to be 100% independent the customer always comes first. We sell the Autel and Autocom Adas solutions plus have also supplied Texa in the past. 

Many people know that Benz SCN Coding Service will charge about £150 at a time, but with Autel MaxiSys Pro MS908P you can do it easily! Here in this post, I will show you how to do Mercedes Benz SCN coding in 3 steps.
Why we need to do SCN coding?
When replacing or flashing ME control unit or new Transmission control unit we must get new SCN, that is to say SCN coding.
How Autel MaxiSYS MS908P Pro do MB SCN coding in 3 steps?

Wow what a show, met new customers met old ones and found some new tools. I only stayed for a day and a half and I don't think I stopped talking it was that busy. We are now selling the great Launch UK smoke machine with its own air supply and universal bladder it offers amazing value. We are no an agent for Ross Tech VCDS again. We have not sold this for a number of years but with the emerging popularity of MQB chassis into the aftermarket the normal Hex can unit  no longer covers the models required. 

Looking forward we have a stand at Mechanex booked D70 and look foward to seeing you there, we will have the Autel ADAS frame, carbon cleaners, Topdon, OSCA, Autocom plus TPMS etc plus a on the stand give away. 

At Impact tuning and diagnostics I am very proud of the tools that we sell, I have myself been a long term user of the portable power jump starters and believe they are the best around. My unit is branded Snapon as they were the longterm sellers of the product but now the tool is available directly via us. To buy one the easiest way is to use our unique discount code which is K0P48. 

This discount code also works on all spare parts, please visit the Portable Power webshop to use our discount code. 

One thing that really winds me up is when people resort to cheap tactics with sales, over promising the world and then under delivering when the tool arrives at the customer. Poor support or no support and also selling a tool that is unsuitable for a customers needs. We have seen it numerous times when a Motor factor sales rep is targeted on turnover they then try the hardest to sell the most expensive tool they have and not the tool the customer is most suited too. I had a recent enquiry where the Motor factor quoted the customer on an Autel Elite and offered a small discount on the retail price. The customer asked me if I could match the price, I then asked the customer a few questions and realised that the customer was not interested in Pass thru programming and did not do many Mercedes or BMW so I guided the customer to the cheaper Autel 908S. This saved the customer over £900+vat and the subscription costs were also halved. So although I could not match the customers factor quote I actually achieved better value for money as I sold the correct tool for his needs. 

I understand that rebate schemes can be attractive, why not save these for items such as jacks, compressors, balancers etc and not tools that need regular in depth technical knowledge?
