摘要

The invention relates to a method for identifying, diagnosing, servicing, and repairing a vehicle (10) in a garage, comprising the steps of: saving customer, vehicle, and job-sheet data which pertain to said vehicle (10), out of a central customer databank and into a working data storage-device (18) of a mobile communications interface (1); connecting the mobile communications interface (1) to said vehicle (10) and connecting a first vehicle testing device (3a) at least to said mobile communications interface (1), at a first work station (41); reading the customer, vehicle, and job-sheet data out of the working data storage-device (18) of the mobile communications interface (1) and into the control computer (32a) of the first vehicle testing device (3a); carrying out first tests on the vehicle (10) using the first vehicle testing device (3a) and/or the mobile communications interface (1); saving the first test results into the working data storage-device (18) of the mobile communications interface (1) by means of the first vehicle testing device (3a); disconnecting the first vehicle testing device (3a) from the vehicle (10); connecting a second vehicle testing device (3b) to said vehicle (10) and reading the customer, vehicle, and job-sheet data, as well as the first test results, out of the working data storage-device (18) of the mobile communications interface (1) and into the second vehicle testing device (3b), at a second work station (42); carrying out, on the basis of the first test results, second tests on the vehicle (10) using the second vehicle testing device (3b) and/or the mobile communications interface (1) that is connected to the vehicle (10); saving the second test results into the working data storage-device (18) of the mobile communications interface (1) by means of the second vehicle testing device (3b); and reading the customer, vehicle, and job-sheet data, as well as the first and second test results of the vehicle (10), out of the working data storage-device (18) of the mobile communications interface (1) and into the central customer databank.
