Keep the jobs that need a factory tool
WrenchLane finds the fault. When the repair needs software, coding or an adaptation that only an OEM tool can deliver, AutoRemote does it remotely — while the car stays on your ramp. No towing the car to a dealer, no losing the job.
Diagnosis is only half the job
An independent workshop can find almost any fault today. Finishing it is where the work stops — because the last step is locked behind the manufacturer's own tool.
The part is fitted, the car still will not start
A new control unit, key, injector or particulate filter has to be programmed to the vehicle before it does anything at all.
The fix is a software update
Nothing is mechanically wrong. The manufacturer has published a new calibration, and only their tool can write it.
The job leaves the workshop
The alternative is sending the customer to a dealer — and the labour, the trust and the follow-up work go with them.
From fault code to finished job
The handover happens inside WrenchLane, at the step where you need it. You do not have to spot the problem yourself or explain the case from scratch.
Diagnose as usual
Read the car, work through the causes and the repair steps in WrenchLane.
We flag the locked step
When a step needs programming, coding or an adaptation, WrenchLane says so on that step.

Your workshop details and the vehicle go to AutoRemote together. Five fields, once.
AutoRemote connects
They dial into the car remotely and complete the operation. The car never leaves you.
What AutoRemote can do remotely
These are the operations that normally send a car to a dealer. AutoRemote performs them over a remote connection instead.
Security-related operations require a SERMI certified workshop. Coverage depends on the vehicle and the operation — AutoRemote confirms before the job starts.
Software download
Writing the manufacturer's current calibration to the control unit.
Component programming
Coding a newly fitted control unit, key or module to the vehicle so it works.
Adaptation and teach-in
Steering angle, throttle body, injector coding, DPF regeneration and similar routines.
Fault code reading and clearing
Reaching modules your own scan tool cannot address.
Service indicator reset
Resetting the service counter on vehicles that require the factory tool for it.

When a cause or repair step needs software download, programming, coding, adaptation or a factory-tool reset, WrenchLane can offer AutoRemote, its remote programming partner, in the 32 European countries. Existing AutoRemote customers open AutoRemote's booking page with the job details sent along; other workshops send a short enquiry. AutoRemote provides the service and invoices it on its own terms.
