Texa strikes deal with Google for hand-held diagnostics search tools
14th January 2008
The Lancashire-based vehicle diagnostics system firm Texa has unveiled a tool it hopes will revolutionise technicians’ search for technical information, reports Aftermarket magazine. Representatives of more than 25 UK aftermarket distributors gathered in Warwickshire recently to see the Axone Pad and Axone Palm diagnostic tools in action.
Texa’s MD Dave Richards told them how Texa had secured a deal with Google to provide an internet-based search tool on the devices - which also contain conventional technical information, wiring diagrams and more.
The tools’ search function means mechanics will now be able to look through the archives of every Texa technical support call centre in Europe within seconds, while using the Google search facility will give individual mechanics access to the repair solutions and tips of up to 70,000 technicians across Europe in fractions of a second.
