I'm talking about doing it the right way. And I'm not talking about the hack cans of freon anyone can buy. I took the test and paid the money to be able to buy the freon. Would have to buy the tools and subscription to the factory programming. I can reflash my trucks computer if i want to. And dealerships also pay for this info and tools, same as you and i would.

And they expect a return on their investment.īut my whole point was right to repair isnt a right for free info, it's a right to have access to that info and tools. Engineers and other people had to come up with this wiring diagrams and service data.

Would be nice, but that's not how life works.

A sky hill already has the lifts running so it doesnt cost them any extra if I use it right? A highway is already there so I shouldn't have to pay taxes or registration right? I mean according to your way of thinking it doesnt cost anymore for me to drive on a road since it's already there. So why do my kids have to pay to use them? Because you're buying a service/product so you pay for it. College text books are already out there and online. Let's stop and think about this for a second. I'm all for free stuff but just like anything else you have to pay to play. You can even get access to their programming to reflash computers if you pay. I've come close to purchasing some and may in the near future. I understand how much a factory scan tool costs and what they can do. What do you not have access to that dealerships do? Unless they serve me ads then they owe me a few cents.Įventually what it's going to boil down to is some vehicle owners, then manufacturers, will see value added in providing the customers with this service, as a competitive edge and reason to buy that brand, and shun those who have less appreciation for their customers. Let's say they should suffer no addt'l expenses so that 100MB of data I want should cost a few cents. It's not some little $100 scan tool we're talking about. It is unreasonable to think vehicle owners could reasonably pay tens of thousands of dollars for all the equipment a dealership shop has. You must be kidding if you think it is merely 'pay enough', as that is a captive audience where an OEM could charge anything they want to. and no, I don't have access to all the same things a dealership does. That could generate MORE revenue than it costs, but we know they don't want to because they want to make it more difficult and/or expensive in order to appease dealer shops, which also use OEM parts, so they have that as another revenue stream. If you want to argue there's a bandwidth cost, throw some ads on the site like everyone else does to make 'site revenue. Why is because they have to already have it in a database setup to serve requests anyway, so it is minimal addt'l expense to open that up to everyone.
