Review: Autel vs Launch

  • The launch and the autel are pretty much the same as far as capabilities. I have the Matco maxgo, which is a rebranded launch, and it is pretty darn impressive. It is much faster then my snap on scanner and more closely mimics the factory scan tool for each brand. My only complaint is that it doesn't graph quite as well as the snap on. I haven't used the autel 908, but I've used the older 708. It had excellent capabilities, but again, didn't care for the graphing. As far as customer service goes, I've had zero issues, so no need to make any phone calls.

 

  • Being a master Audi tech who has now moved to independents,i personally prefer the launch. Why?    Strictly due to the bidirectional abilities; which, in essence is not a proper statement. I have used both. The Autel is fantastic for user friendliness. it was designed to diagnose each and every manufacture to the highest capabilities of, well, lets use the term “generic” diagnostics. The Launch has the ability to program in the same concepts of the factory. As in, I am able to complete long coding of “most” modules in BMW and VAG meanwhile I am stuck with quick coding and bare minimal basic adaptations with Autel.       Both are great tools, but are only as good as the user.
