As more and more people keep their vehicles for longer periods of time, service technicians will be seeing an influx of vehicles, especially GM vehicles, needing service.
With that in mind, Snap-on has designed over 20 GM specific tools that will help techs work more efficiently and productively.
“Service technicians will see an increase in the number of GM vehicles that need service in the next several years as motorists are keeping their current vehicles longer than ever, particularly due to today’s economic conditions,” said Scott Amundson, product manager for Snap-on. “We designed these Snap-on GM specific tools to help make technicians’ lives easier. They can use these tools on the challenging jobs they encounter every day and these tools will allow them to do more jobs better and faster.”
