Our government is totally spineless. As an independent repairer I will be forever looking for other options...

No, I had not, you have my interest!!

But, having read what's covered, it will still come very short of my needs. One day I could be applying a software update to fix the park sensor signal on the back of a 2020 mazda CX5, the next day I need to replace the PCM on a Holden cruze with a second hand unit. We need a mix of ALL the dealer capabilities (NO EXCEPTIONS) and custom software that lets us use recycled parts.

First to market with that shall be very successful.
