I wanted to chime in about Autel , but I had no personal experience with it till today . All the local shops seem to love the tool, and their sensors , plus , it is a great deal
I have been using a snap on tpms 3 for years and it is so so, I have had some sensors that I was not able to clone or program correctly
I bought the Autel about 6 months ago, but have not used it yet till today . I was able to replace and clone a sensor on a toyota without even reading the instructions right out of the box . Worked like a charm and was quick and easy . I would not be afraid to let them try it . I have not heard anything bad about the sensors myself yet, but time will tell
