Don't get me wrong the need for good aftermarket scanners will not stop but with online service records and security handshakes with online servers the future will be harder.
The options are specialism In a particular brand and picking the original equipment or buying multiple dealer diagnostic tools and dealing with the substantial prices for subscriptions and training.
Remote diagnostics will play a major part in bridging the gap, they are not a replacement for dealer tools. With Tools such as Osca, ODISo, Rade, GMTO, and Shaap which are all part of the jifeline network.
