Everything else is very standard. The TECHII is more specialized but does not prevent a mechanic form doing 95% of the work on the car. A professional mechanic should already have, or obtain, a diagnostic tool that can handle the Saab computer. Of course, they need to have a manual or a subscription service to get the repair instructions, but most of them have a subscription that would cover that. Bob
