We’ve just hit 200 videos on our YouTube channel.

And honestly, it’s been incredible to see the community that’s built up over there.

Every Tuesday, we put out a new video to help you make smarter decisions in the workshop, covering things like:

1/ OEM dealer tooling (what it actually does, and when it’s worth it)
2/ Industry shifts that are changing diagnostics fast
3/ The best-value aftermarket options (and where they genuinely fit)
4/ Where your money is best spent so you’re not guessing
5/ How to futureproof your workshop and keep more profit in-house

Big thank you for every like, comment, and subscribe.

Tomorrow we’re breaking down the EV maintenance jobs every independent garage needs to be ready for.

A lot of garages still see EVs as specialist work, but most of the day to day maintenance is the same as what you already do.

It comes down to 3 things:

1️⃣ Safety first
A level 2 EV qualification plus the basic kit to shut down and prove the vehicle is safe before you touch it

2️⃣ Routine work
Brakes, suspension, tyres and coolant checks still matter, and they make up the bulk of EV servicing

3️⃣ Knowing the limit
Basic battery live data can be useful, but deeper health analysis needs verified software so you do not misdiagnose an expensive component

For independents, those three things make all the difference.

Watch it 20 Jan 8am UK on our YouTube.

Pass-Thru wasn’t built to replace diagnostics - it was created under Euro 5 and 6 regulations to give independents legal access to manufacturer software for emissions-related systems.

That means it’s not a universal coding tool or a shortcut to every ECU.
It’s a bridge between aftermarket and OE - built to update, reprogram, and keep vehicles compliant without sending them to the dealer.

When you understand that difference, you stop expecting Pass-Thru to do everything and start using it for what it’s truly designed for: reliable, professional software access that keeps your workshop competitive.

Over the past few months, we’ve been filming a full Mercedes-Benz diagnostics series.

The goal was simple:
you shouldn’t need to go anywhere else to understand how to get set up properly.

Registration.
Initial set-up.
What tools you actually need.
And how to keep the money in-house while futureproofing your workshop.

Our Technical Director, Dave, spent months writing what we believe is the internet’s first proper Mercedes-Benz Diagnostics Buyer’s Guide (the written version of everything you need to know).

Then we filmed the full walkthrough video breaking it all down:
the B2B portal, Pass-Thru vs Xentry, what to choose based on the work you do.

And because this is where most garages get stuck, we also covered the line between:
when an aftermarket tool is enough vs when you need Xentry.

Bottom line:
Mercedes work is profitable, but only if your diagnostics setup is right and it's been amazing to see how much value this FREE information we're sharing has helped techs across the world.

BYD overtaking Tesla isn’t just a headline. It’s a signal of what’s about to start turning up in your diary.

In 2025, BYD sold roughly 2.26m battery electric vehicles, beating Tesla’s ~1.64m

This type of gap happens when a brand becomes normal, not niche, and the rest of the market has to catch up.

What that means on the workshop and bodyshop side is simple:

More Chinese EVs will land in your bays. And they won’t always play nicely with the tooling setup you’ve relied on for years.

At that point, it becomes less about “can I read faults?” but “can I finish the job?”

You’ll see it when you hit:
- Coding, online functions and module replacement that needs OEM-level access
- ADAS work where calibration isn’t optional, and the procedure is brand-specific
- EV and hybrid systems where you need proper data, support equipment and safe workflows
- Coverage gaps where aftermarket tools give you enough to start, but not enough to close it out confidently

If you’re already seeing BYD, MG, Geely and other Chinese brands coming through, now’s the time to audit your capability, not when the car is stuck on the ramp.

So what can you do?

> Check your current tool coverage for Chinese brands (not just “EVs” broadly)
> Decide where you need OEM, where aftermarket is enough, and where remote support fills the gap
> Make sure your ADAS setup is ready (space, targets, software, process)
> Get your EV workflow tight: battery support, programming stability, safe handling

And if you need help with any of this, reach out to us.

Mercedes-Benz diagnostics can test even the most experienced technicians.

From NOx sensor faults that parts won’t fix, to the software updates that actually do - we filmed a video on everything you need to know about Mercedes Benz diagnostics

This walkthrough takes you through the full diagnostic process.

We cover:
- B2B portal registration
- Pass-thru and Xentry setup
- Hardware, cables, and update requirements

A clear, practical look at what it really takes to diagnose and repair Mercedes vehicles — the right way.

Tomorrow, we’re releasing a guide to Security Gateways and what they mean for your day to day diagnostics.

In the video, we’ll cover:

1/ What a Secure Gateway is and why certain functions get restricted
2/ How this shows up across different manufacturers and model years
3/ The main routes independents use to get full access back in the workshop

If you want to avoid getting stuck mid-repair on late-model cars, this one will help.

Most garages think an OE tool is just a better version of an aftermarket tablet. It is not even close.
An OE setup is the full dealer system. The same software, the same functions, the same online access, and the same level of control over the vehicle.

When you work on factory software, you are not relying on generic data.
You see the exact wiring information, technical documents, service functions and programming routines the dealer technician sees on their screen.

This is why jobs feel easier with the right setup.

You get consistency, accuracy and the ability to handle modern vehicles properly without outsourcing the tricky jobs.

If you want dealer-level results in your workshop, OE tooling is the route that makes it possible.

Ever wondered why some garages swear by Pass-Thru while others call it a nightmare?

It usually comes down to one thing - understanding what it actually is.

Pass-Thru wasn’t built to replace diagnostics or unlock every system on every car.
It was created under Euro 5 and 6 regulations to give independents legal access to emissions-related software updates.

When you treat it like a universal coding tool, it fails you.
When you treat it like a professional bridge between aftermarket and OE, it works exactly as intended.
