Snap-on’s mission is to provide our Customers with ‘The most valued productivity solutions in the world’. Our Customers are the Technicians who fix your car when something goes wrong.
Cars today are loaded with electronic technology. They contain many independent on-board computers which are frequently networked together. These computers and their many sensors control the engine, transmission, climate control and entertainment systems. When something goes wrong it’s not easy to find the cause and fix it.
That’s where Snap-on products come in. We design and build the electronic tools technicians use to communicate with the vehicle’s on-board computers. We help the technician understand what’s happening, and provide information to solve the problem quickly and accurately.
