yes and no, dealers make it impossible for most shops to possess the same equipment by charging $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ out the a$$ for it, if they even decide to sell it. most often that answer is no. the consumer can fix whatever he or she wants anywhere they want, but that doesnt mean they have the right to possess the same diagnostic technology as the dealer.

Nissan may not get payed by a dealer for each repair, but the dealers are the only ones offered the use of the proper diagnosis equipment. This is why the dealer claims to have the best service, because they can more easily find problems than independent shops. I sucks very much for us that the manu's and dealers protect their repair software knowledge to greatly and we have to scavenge for the answers were looking for, but thats how it goes. BTW the greater the influx of electronics that is now happening and will continue to happen will put a lot of small shops out of business. It is already starting, and the dealer will do nothing but thrive from the fact that they will be the only ones capable of diagnosing, repairing, and reprogramming these systems.
