RepairSolutions2 Reviews

I have to say I’m surprised at all these five star reviews. I connected the scanner to my port and it prompted me to do an update for the firmware. I followed the prompts and a few minutes later all the updates were installed. RepairSolutions2 connected via Bluetooth to the scanner without any issues. I ran a couple of tests and looked for trouble codes and everything seem to be going OK. I found a couple of codes which I erased and when I rescanned they were gone. Everything seemed to be good. A couple of hours later I tried to rescan to see if those codes had come back. Suddenly I started having all kinds of lights show up on my dashboard from the ABS, to AFS to low oil pressure warning, to check VSC, and another symbol which I’m not sure what it was. I just sat there in disbelief. However once I disconnected the scanner from my car, the dashboard was clear with no lights or warnings. I’m not sure how useful this tool is if I cannot rely on it to not interfere with my car’s computer software and trip all these bogus codes/warning signs. I have missed the return period, so now I’m stuck with this useless thing that I paid $50 for at Walmart.

I have the 3100rs and it will not allow me to record live data. I go on RepairSolutions2 on my iPhone and it says no previously recorded live data which is a real problem because classic I need to be able to see previously recorded data without having to turn on the car plug in the tool connect to blue tooth etc. then as soon as the car is turned off the tool disconnects leaving me with out any type of live data reading unless I run the car while viewing live data. $140 is what I paid at auto zone for this and I can’t even use it. I have to go purchase a different brand that allows me to actually record live data smh. I’m sick I have to even give it a single star because I wish I could give it zero point zero stars

The scanner tool I bought (Innova 5110) works great, is easy to use, and spits out a complete list of trouble codes plus emissions status onscreen within 15-20 seconds of connecting to the car.

RepairSolutions2 on the other hand, takes up to a minute just to launch, a good 5-10 minutes to create an account if you don’t have one already, sometimes another minute to get connected to the scanner tool, and anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes to upload the data from the scanner to your phone and generate a report.

So by the time you’ve waited for RepairSolutions2 to do its thing, it sometimes would’ve been faster to just copy the trouble codes from the scanner and look the up online yourself.

RepairSolutions2 itself works great. Shows you engine codes, you can clear the codes, it gives you a breakdown of recommendations for maintenance and possible repairs in the near future to look out for. It also gives you documents that show known common problems and recalls. All in all, app is good. What would be nice is a way to document service records in app then have a way to print that report when you are ready to sell the vehicle. It would also be nice to be able to add any repairs made to the vehicle and have that be printable as a report. Beyond that I definitely recommend RepairSolutions2 .

This is the first personal scanner I’ve had so keep that in mind, I’m sure marketing was the reason.. but it feels like they started with a good model that had everything and just took out a few components to make a ‘new’ dumbed down version.. and just repeated that until they reached base, touting a whole LINE of affordable software!! Now with that said, I could NOT see myself without one. Regardless of how i feel about marketing tactics, this is truly an extremely handy tool in all things home diag./repair, buying/selling vehicles and even a helping hand when someone is in need. Very easy to keep mobile and has saved the day all too often. Thanks Zurich for this awesome product!!

I bought the 1000 model scan-tool solution at AdvanceAuto. The bluetooth functionality via my iphone 11 to the RepairSoulutions2 app has reliable connectivity and produces DTC decoding on par with any other device I have used. That said the 100$ unit is the most expensive one ive bought, so thats not saying much. RepairSolutions2 has a live data function but only 4 parameters at a time limits its functionality. It can erase codes. It gives you a starting point as to repair but mostly very general information you could derive yourself if you have ever even turned a wrench. its a big fat OK but not nearly the level of diagnostics or repair information i was led to believe.

I have no connection to this company whatsoever, nor do I often write reviews, but RepairSolutions2 is significantly better since the upgrade. I’ve used it for a while now and always thought it did a good job for me, however I was never THAT exuberant about it. I have a Ram pickup that constantly has the check engine light come only for me to repair the issue, just to have another light come on within a couple of months.

I digress. Suffice it to say that I use RepairSolutions2 a lot, however, I haven’t used in at least the past 6 months. Today I turn on RepairSolutions2 and it goes through the the update process. Imagine my pleasure when its new, simpler interface popped up that just feels much better in every way. Again, I’m generally not an effusive kind of person, but I love RepairSolutions2 now. Just one of the things RepairSolutions2 gives a read on is predicted future repairs, which it gives as a probability percentage—s u p e r cool. I think it’s an all around great app, now.

I don’t usually write reviews but wanted to share my experience. App and scanner work great together. RepairSolutions2 does more than I anticipated. It gave me the codes and identified the most likely fix with links to order the parts if I wanted. It also provides recommended shops at your specified location. RepairSolutions2 can track your maintenance needs for you and the probable issues at the mileage you are approaching. I’m recommending this to everyone.

Just one minor app issue is the ability to share the reports pulled by the scanner. Share button exists but is not working currently.

Unlike a lot of the reviews I have seen, this scanner dose everything as advertised so far. Linking to my iPhone 12 was a breeze, uploading RepairSolutions2 and scanning my first vehicle was a breeze too. Scanned every module, cleared old history codes in several modules and got a report when done. This scan was on a 2003- Chevrolet Silverado LS with 4.8L I will let you know how it does on my other cars soon.
I would recommend this scan tool to people with intermediate mechanical skills and above. It is a little advanced for beginners

I absolutely love RepairSolutions2! It allows me to connect directly to my dongle and has proven incredibly useful time and time again. I work on all my own vehicles, and I can’t stress enough how invaluable this tool has been. It not only tells me exactly what’s wrong but also provides information on recalls, tests the battery and alternator, offers live system monitoring, and much more. RepairSolutions2 has saved me countless hours and headaches. I highly recommend it to anyone who works on their own vehicles, as well as to professional mechanics—it’s a game-changer!

This thing actually out performed the 3000 dollar snap on scan tools that they used at the mechanic shop my girl had taken her car too for years nobody at the shop could figure out the problem so I went to Walmart and purchased this scan tool for 50 dollars and 20 minutes later I knew everything that was wrong with the vehicle and that the total of seven codes that it gave me six of them would be fixed by Nissan because they have recalled the parts that were broken and were fixing them at no cost to the owner

Just picked it up at Harbor Freight and waited till home in driveway to test it. Boy does this show a lot of good info on phone. Definitely and absolutely worth the $40-60 or so price. So detailed…..even if there are minor inaccuracies it is still better than any handheld 5 digit reader with codes only. Wish I had this for the last 10 years. I am not a professional mechanic but so change sensors and maintenance things often. Merry Christmas to myself and a battery to go reprogram!!! Cheers. And if you have a BMW out of warranty, and like doing this stuff, get it for everyone as a stocking stuffer.

I’m super happy with RepairSolutions2 for cars

JUST ONE THING IT WAS KINDA CONFUSING SETTING IT UP TO WORK
My issue was that I was used of easy sign up and set up. This was just kind of confusing bothered me almost made me go ask for my money back because I just didn’t like was struggling but after it was all worth it, I was so happy so happy that I forgive them there full stars and moving forward, I’m a happy camper. It’s almost like when you get a fight with your wife for the first time when you make up, it’s up LOVE lol Funny way to explain things peace out.

I’m gonna have to say that my INNOVA part number 5310 automotive scan tool is flipping amazing I have never used anything quite like this before but whoever came up with this scan tool and the Quickstart guide instructions and the fact that it can link to my phone and pretty much do everything that a professional mechanic would do checking out my vehicle going through the different steps of figuring out what’s exactly wrong and explaining to me how he’s going to fix it and what the part is called this tool does it all God bless whoever came up with this tool and made it a lot easier for the do it yourself mechanic to further educate and nevertheless making the mechanics life easier thank you very much and I will highly recommend this to everybody that I know that is a do it yourself mechanic I couldn’t have asked for a better scan tool thank you

So far, the product itself has worked quite seamlessly. As long as you have RepairSolutions2 , which is free to download and operate. That will make your interaction with the scanner so much better. definitely recommended to download it but even without RepairSolutions2 codes are easy to retrieve and it does function as it should. My only complaint is that the light up end of the OBDII cord already had an LED fell on one side, so only half of the connector lights up, but it is mainly an aesthetic issue, and not really an issue regarding functionality as of yet. Overall an excellent addition to any garage or toolbox.

I was agonizing over which OBD scanner to buy. One brand look good in one way another brand looks good in another way. When I went to advance auto in Fort Lauderdale, I had a very patient sales persons and we reviewed all of the different scanners and if they were compatible with my car.
Because I didn’t get a nice, big tools. I didn’t have very much faith that this standalone OBD reader, and I could do very much but a little bit. I know when we were viewed everything it was the most capable scanner that they had. I would recommend this to anyone definitely worth the money and very convenient

I purchased the above named obd2 sensor at Walmart for $50+tax. Honestly, it’s extremely more thorough then I thought it would be when doing a complete system scan. I knew of a few issues I was having with my vehicles but this thing pulled up stuff I was never notified about on other obd2 sensors. It’s extremely detailed and you can see live data too. Also, I find it cool how RepairSolutions2 helps you find mechanics that can fix your issues if you can do it yourself and it tells you about your normal maintenance cost and recommendations for your vehicles mileage. This tool is VERY impressive for the price and I definitely recommend it.

I bought this to troubleshoot an ABS and a BSD error on my Hyundai Sonata. It identified faults in my ABS wheel speed sensors. I didn’t know they could be related until I did some research. Sure enough, replacing my rear wheel speed sensors cleared up my ABS and BSD errors. BSD components are super expensive so this scanner potentially saved me some big money. Hyundai kept telling me they couldn’t find a problem with the BSD system, I guess they didn’t know about the ABS and BSD relationship either… oh and this scanner can enable a TPMS relearn if your tire dealer fails to do that (not naming any names like Firestone or anything - just saying it can cover that oversight should it happen to you too)

Purchased this 5010 after starting my morning with a dash full of lights and the engine running as if on three cylinders. It was actually four. Nice had chewed the wires from the #1 and #3 injectors. None of this was clearly visible. So. Off to O’Reilly’s. The Innova reader I had previously researched went up in price to $350 ! The person at the store recommended the 5010 at $38 and said “it’s just as good”. So i tried it and read a #3 misfire and the indicated replacement of the #3 ignition coil. I bought replacement plugs for the injectors and wired them in. The job required all day from me, i am not a pro but have a bit of experience in similar repairs. This diagnosis and repair were straightforward forward but as I mentioned, time intensive. This device paid for itself on the first use. Strongly recommend.

After having this diagnostic tool for a while and using on my families vehicles (Ford f150, Ford Fusion, Subaru Outback & Kia Optima) I have been able to make minor repairs without the high price tag of a diagnostic test at an auto shop.
Recently (because I wasn’t looking for it before) I found that this device has a Live option for viewing your vehicles live data. This was so interesting to me that I sent the data to one of my kids, the one that drives the Subaru, and he was also amazed at how accurate and detailed the data is.
