Alameda, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) June 25, 2011

With even greater computerization of vehicles, the quality of electronic diagnostic tools needed to communicate with them is more important than ever before. Alameda Auto Lab has upgraded to Snap-On Tool's VERUS® Diagnostic Platform to help pinpoint troubles quickly and accurately.

"We have the latest diagnostic tools to enable us to quickly diagnose troubles in Volvos, BWMs, Mercedes," said Robert Ramos, owner of Alameda Auto Lab. "Of course, we're not limited to those manufacturers, we can diagnose and service Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, and any other make just as well."

Vehicle diagnostic tools help automobile technicians interface with the vehicle's internal computer so that troubleshooting and performance information can be extracted and the technician can get down to performing the repairs and service that enable the vehicle to operate at top performance and optimal fuel economy. That is why Alameda Auto Labs has upgraded to Snap-On Tool's VERUS® Diagnostic Platform.

The VERUS® Diagnostic Platform is a specialized personal computer (PC) that combines information with test instrumentation to help Alameda Auto Labs' skilled technicians diagnose symptoms, codes, and complaints quickly and efficiently, test vehicle systems and components, access service records and recorded data, and verify repairs.

VERUS creates a comprehensive automotive diagnostic solution. It is the first fully-integrated handheld diagnostic tool with customer/vehicle records, Scanner, Fast-Track®Troubleshooter, Component Test Meter, 4-channel lab scope, Fast-Track reference database, and optional ShopKey® repair information.

Its Microsoft Windows operating system allows VERUS to run most Windows compatible software programs. The standard Windows toolbar displays at the bottom of the screen. Unique Snap-on software that allows VERUS to function as a scan tool, graphing multimeter, lab scope, and a powerful diagnostic database opens upon startup.

Alameda Auto Lab has been in business for 20 years and is located at 631 Buena Vista Avenue in Alameda. They provide the communities of Oakland and Alameda with reliable service and durable parts.

Car repairs are guaranteed. Computerized diagnostic and vehicle lift systems allow the technicians to see every part of the vehicle, including inside the motor and into any other key parts of the vehicle. Frequent oil changes help prevent motor malfunctions and improve the vehicle's performance. Clients can be confident that every device will be checked out at an Alameda Auto Lab inspection.
