VERSATILE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS
After 15 years of serving the VW/Audi performance market, HPA Motorsports has partnered with Shade Tree Software to develop an exciting and versatile diagnostics brand for the Volkswagen/Audi community. Experts at high speed road testing, and looking to continue a campaign of customer support to bridge the gap between the workshop and client, HPA recognized that the portability and power within the small Palm device did exactly that.
After months of extensive work behind the scenes hiring staff, updating the software, growing the fault code and vehicle databases, implementing new cable designs, and completing production on a charging cable, HPA are pleased to introduce 2 new product offerings:
