Buy or hire the MaxiSys MS906 BT if...

A multi-make diagnostic tablet with an 8 inch touchscreen and up to 14 hours of battery life, aimed at independent garages rather than a single franchise. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity let it work with a separate VCI dongle in the bay. Now discontinued as a current model, replaced by newer MaxiSys tablets, but still common in UK garages.

Buy or hire the APOLLO+ if...

A larger 10 inch diagnostic scan tool with a fast under-2-second boot time and a 4-way keypad alongside the touchscreen. Software and data are held on a removable microSD card rather than fixed internal storage. Suits a garage wanting a bigger screen than the APOLLO-D9 for the same franchise-backed support.
