Beware of Grey Import & Pirate LaunchSA Diagnostic Machines

Important Warning: We’re receiving numerous support calls from workshops who purchased “LaunchSA diagnostic machines” from unauthorized dealers, only to find their suppliers have disappeared. Grey import equipment comes with no warranty, no technical support, and no offices to visit. When it breaks (and it will), you’re left with an expensive paperweight.

Verify before you buy: Ask for proof of authorized dealer status. Check that your supplier has a physical office. Ensure your warranty is backed by LaunchSA.
