Snap-on has added an online scheduler where customers who own a Pass Thru Assistant or the new Pass Thru Assistant+ can easily book remote assisted programming services for when it works best for their automotive repair shops.

“With the new scheduler, technicians can save valuable time by making their J2534 programming appointments directly online so there’s no need to wait for a return phone call,” said Helen Cox, marketing and client services director, Snap-on Diagnostics. “With just a few clicks, they can make arrangements to get vehicles programmed without delay.”

The Pass Thru Assistant is a turn-key remote solution to help technicians replace the existing software/firmware in electronic control units (ECUs) with updated OEM software. Successfully program thousands of domestic, Asian and European vehicles with the same easy-to-use process. 

The Pass Thru Assistant+ is a new J2534 programming device that combines the turn-key remote support offered by the Pass Thru Assistant with the do-it-yourself functionality of the Pass Thru Pro, giving auto repair and collision technicians the flexibility to program vehicles to match their needs.

Customers can call 1-833-4SNAPON for assistance. For even faster support, they can use the new live chat feature available at http://PTAprogramming.com.
