Title: Local Vauxhall dealer in liquidation
Post by: nilocp on 03 May 2016, 21:26:45
The local Vauxhall dealer is in liquidation, with the auction coming up soon.

What sort of diagnostic / computer gear should I be looking for at the sale?

Tech 2 is handheld, hopefully in a carry case with leads cards etc, Vauxcom will be box that plugs into a PC / Lappy, VX Garage if they have one will probably have a dedicated Lappy with it again with lots of bits, leads, software etc.

And it is highly likely that such expensive and portable equipment has already had predatory stock-control procedures applied to it.
