In the automotive repair industry, your earnings are directly tied to your ability to diagnose and fix vehicles efficiently. To achieve this, having the right tools is not just helpful—it’s essential. When considering a new diagnostic tool, two critical questions arise: Is it comprehensive in features, and is it user-friendly? AutoEnginuity®’s Giotto ScanTool, a robust diagnostics platform designed for your Windows® laptop, answers both questions emphatically.

When it comes to vehicle diagnostics, coverage is paramount. AutoEnginuity®’s Giotto™ ScanTool excels in providing extensive coverage, supporting 58 different car manufacturers with professional-grade enhanced options. But coverage isn’t just about breadth; depth is equally crucial. Our enhanced expansions provide access to a vast array of vehicle systems including ABS, airbag, enhanced powertrain, instrument cluster, transmission, and numerous body and chassis controllers. This depth translates into real diagnostic power, offering features like live data streaming, bi-directional controls for system testing and component activation, adaptive resets and learning procedures, and comprehensive trouble code retrieval and clearing capabilities.
AutoEnginuity® has long been recognized for pioneering powerful yet intuitive user interfaces. Our industry-leading graphing capabilities allow for seamless data visualization. With a single click, you can pan, zoom, and overlay multiple data plots on the same graph. Advanced features such as plot tagging for quick identification and graph printing further enhance your diagnostic workflow.
Beyond standard features, AutoEnginuity®’s Giotto™ ScanTool provides:
