Bosch Automotive Aftermarket announced today the addition of the exclusive Repair-Source service information database to its ADS series professional diagnostic scan tools in North America. The new database is available now to tool owners who upgraded to software version 3.5 in mid-December. Repair-Source will be a part of the tool’s annual diagnostic software subscription, offering valuable repair info that will help save time and money for shops and technicians. Integrating Repair-Source database within Bosch’s ADS series tools provides the most complete and comprehensive diagnostic solution to repair vehicles in North America.
