back when abrites was number 1 , nobody could come close to their coverage on VAG , Fiat , BMW , Mercedes , PSA , Vauxhall , Mitsubishi , even nissan and renault held distinct advantages , ford sadly has never been more than adequate though , abrites were developing the new coverage a long while before anyone else giving its users a distinct advantage over their competition , in fact my abrites paid for itself on fiat alone in no time , as well as psa and vauxhall , there was a time the full deal was dearer , ie you got less for your money , but it was very easy to get payback on the tool as it was simply the best tool on the market with the best late model coverage giving users big advantages, it was mainly auto locksmiths buying it as it gave them advantages and made earning simple .
then it went sour , for some reason development slowed to a trickle then , to what we have now it has almost halted , bugs not being fixed , new bugs appearing after update and the licence jiggles on vag making previously working functions now not work unless a new licence is purchased, sqeezing long term customers for more money by paying again for what they used to own , then they removed bmw offline software alienating many more , their lack of new coverage development has allowed others to catch up including china offerings and some have surpassed abrites coverage which was once unheard of .
so at present it may not be the best option as cheaper options exist for same coverage , this wasnt always the case , when they lead the way and the advantages they gave us allowed us to get payback and profit fairly easily , so the full deal was once affordable and was guaranteed to pay back , sadly these days are gone , whether they ever come back depends on whether abrites get any more developers i suspect and if they can keep their long standing customers , sadly they seem intent on alienating and losing their existing customers as they struggle to find new ways to squeeze a little more money from them .
i certainly wouldnt advise abrites to new guys today , but there was a time id have advised them to buy as much as they can afford or borrow from the bank to buy as was great kit guaranteeing anyone who knew their stuff payback and profit , just another example of how no one stays number 1 for ever , and stay number 1 even less time if they alienate and lose the trust of their customers.
i cant say i regret buying abrites , as i dont , its been a fantastic tool and has made me a very very good living for many years , it owes me nothing , i still use it daily and it still makes money for me , despite the current issues it is still a very decent tool , and still has the potential to get back on top , so i have no issues with the tool , the issues seem now to be the company owners , the lack of development , the licence jiggling and the complete contempt they show to their customers , it is these owners/management that are letting down their tool and their investors and customers alike , the tool will only continue if they change their ways .
