Matco Tools adds MaxFlex to its Maximus Diagnostic family

May 6, 2019
The scan tool is designed to flex three ways.

Matco Tools introduces the MaxFlex, No. MDMAXFLEX, an Android based diagnostic tablet that was designed for flexibility to meet the needs of technicians and budgets in the professional automotive industry.  

This tablet is created to flex three different ways to fit the needs of technicians. First, out of the box, the unit can be used as a code reader. Secondly, if a technician only usually works on certain vehicle makes and models, the user can create a customized monthly subscription plan and only pay for the coverage they need. Third, the tablet can also be configured to include a software package with annual updates. Using the MaxFlex, the user can gain complete OE-level access to Asian, European and domestic applications for module coding, resets, relearns and bi-directional capabilities.  

All three subscription configurations are compatible with Matco’s automotive repair database, MaximusFix. This database provides technical service bulletins, flow charts, wiring diagrams and other manufacturer documents needed to help the technician complete the job. 

“In addition to our top-of-the-line Maximus 3.0 model, we wanted to expand our Maximus line by introducing a more affordable option that offers our customers the ability to configure the scan tool to fit their diagnostic needs,” said Matco Tools Vice President of Marketing Ben Gambrel. “The MaxFlex is affordable and flexible to allow all technicians to have industry-leading diagnostic capabilities at their fingertips.”
