Short answer: The useful question in an S7 review is what the documented listing supports, not what a generic scanner might do. The ThinkScan Plus S7 is listed as a 12 V OBD2 diagnostic tool with SAS, SRS and DPF reset functions. That makes it worth considering for a garage that needs a guided first scan and selected service functions. The listing does not establish independent test results, universal vehicle coverage or every software feature, so those claims should stay out of the buying decision until verified. THINKCAR ThinkScan Plus S7 12 V OBD2 diagnostic tool is the documented product used for this comparison.
