ROCKAWAY, NEW JERSEY, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TOPDON US, is ramping up production of the new RLink J2534 (https://www.topdon.us/products/rlink-j2534), to meet the strong demand of independent auto repair shops for an advanced diagnostics and pass-through tool with J2534 programming capabilities that were largely reserved for auto dealerships and large, national auto repair chains. The RLink J2534 offers substantial versatility with seamless diagnostics and coding, giving small and independent automotive repair shops a competitive OE-level programming solution for a wide range of domestic and import vehicles. The premier provider of cutting-edge technology and advanced tools for auto repair professionals and enthusiasts, TOPDON offers the product through its national distribution network.
“TOPDON’s RLink J2534 diagnostic tool puts the power of OE-level programming and coding into the hands of auto techs and weekend garage warriors alike,” said Chad Schnitz, Vice President of TOPDON US. “Over the years, repair shops have lost repair work or outsourced it because the technology to reprogram the OBD-II system was too expensive. The RLink J2534 is a competitively priced tool that, when paired with a valid subscription to OEM software, grants users the ability to program or update a large variety of control modules on most popular brands. In fact, the cost of our RLink 2534 could easily be recouped after only a few repairs. As awareness of the recently introduced tool has grown, demand has skyrocketed and led to an increase in production.”
