As fleet operators search for ways to reduce costs and improve turnaround times, more are choosing to bring diagnostics in-house. In 2025, the ROI case is stronger than ever—especially for mixed fleets.

Why In-House Diagnostics Makes Sense

The average dealer diagnostic visit now costs over $800 and takes 3–5 days. For a 20-vehicle fleet, even a few dealer visits per month can wipe out profit margins. In contrast, in-house diagnostics using a tool like Jaltest gives your team the power to:

  • Scan, test, and clear codes immediately
  • Perform bi-directional tests and calibrations
  • Monitor system health and plan proactive maintenance

This capability translates to fewer tow bills, faster repairs, and better use of technician time.

Real-World Savings

One Alberta fleet reported saving over $22,000 in its first year after switching to Jaltest and training its techs. That included reduced service outsourcing, lower downtime, and avoided OEM subscription fees. ROI was achieved within three months of implementation.

Supporting Your Techs

Jaltest doesn’t just deliver software—it enables smarter work. Dynamic Diesel Solutions provides the kit, setup, and training needed to make your technicians successful. From laptop setup and coverage activation to hands-on instruction and post-sale support, fleets are never left guessing.
