Vehicle Technical Information

Today’s intelligent automotive technology requires an equally intelligent approach to diagnostics and servicing. Because of this access to high quality, in-depth technical information is an absolute must. Integrated into our DS diagnostic software or available as a standalone package, our all-makes Vehicle Technical Information or VTI, combines essential maintenance and repair data with detailed technical drawings, manuals, procedures and more. This valuable information will help you to quickly identify and resolve even the most complex of jobs in-house, saving time and money.
