Trademark law was not repealed when auto manufacturers were made to comply. Now as for the cost of all the crud. I own my laptop. I have to fix my laptop when it eats to much floor. I own 85% of all my cables. I own all my tools. Now as for programing yes my dealership has provided what is required to preform work on most models. The best training I ever had was from hard knocks and a bunch of help after the fact.


I believe that most stealerships have found out that they can do bad service if they lock a customer in. As someone stated earlier customers will vote with their wallet and the value of such lifts will lessen. I have witnessed older non controlled lifts selling for more than newer models.
