Welcome to the feedback page where you can post feedback and read feedback about ScannerDanners book and ScannerDanner Premium.
LOVING the content! I just started watching the courses and I am in Chapter 1.
Should I watch all the Chapter videos to complete the book and take each chapter test/study and then go back and start watching the extra content videos? How do you think I should tackle this? I know enough about wrenching to be dangerous. LOL
My goal is to be as efficient as many others in the Diagnostics arena. Thanks Paul!

I would honestly watch them all in the order listed in each chapter playlist. The expanded content material was a second recording of my classes where I intentionally did not follow exactly page for page and added new examples to really solidify the content. Also don't skip the SDP 2.0 playlist which was the 3rd time recording the class! Hope that makes sense. Feel free to ask these questions within any of the videos in the comments section. I make it a point to answer all of you guys! I do not get notifications of new testimonials and you will not be notified when I add this to the website. Thank you so much! I look forward to watching your journey and hearing from you along the way!

I just want to sincerely thank you, Scannerdanner aka Paul, for everything you do and for the knowledge you share.
I started this journey last year without knowing much about automotive electrical diagnostics. After joining Scannerdanner Premium this year, my understanding has completely changed.
I’m not saying I know everything there are still areas I need to keep improving but today I have the confidence to diagnose any electrical circuit and understand many different systems.
What I love most about Premium is that you first teach how the system works. Once you understand how the system works, diagnosis becomes much easier. The methods you teach are universal, and learning to diagnose with speed and accuracy has made a huge difference for me.
Whether you're a DIYer or a professional, I highly recommend Scannerdanner Premium. You will learn a lot!

Danner,
I don't even remember how I found you but once I did it truly did change my experience as a technician for the better. When I got into the game I thought I was going to be surrounded by countless people who knew it all, how to diagnose, how to set an example, and basically that I would be overwhelmed by other people's knowledge and experiences and once I got out of school I'd be essentially educated by everyone who'd been in it longer than me. In many ways that is true, and I cannot deny all of the help and information I have received from fellow techs but what I've learned also is that it doesn't matter if someone has been in this trade for 20 years or more, the time spent does not mean you can diagnose. Time spent does not mean you know what you're doing. Time spent does not mean you have the motivation to learn more. Time spent does not mean you can humbly acknowledge that you do not know the answers! I've learned the look in someone's face when they're just throwing out a guess simply because they just don't want to sound like they don't know what I'm asking about; even if they don't. I am unabashedly curious! It's been a real struggle being someone who needs to know 'why' and who has a great desire to learn to confirm to the best of my ability before making a call but not having anyone solid I can go to to ask the real questions that require answers. I want proof and to be able to explain why it makes sense. It feels like there's never enough time to learn what you need to know when there's five tickets sitting in the box and they're weird electrical problems or comebacks that get thrown at you because the last guy threw some parts at it without ever opening their eyes.. there really is an abundance of parts changers or people too embarrassed or unmotivated to better educate themselves. It's uninspiring, disappointing, and sometimes makes those of us with a brain wonder why we do what we do every day. Knowing that you are here and having access to the ridiculous amount (seriously ridiculous amount) of training for real world, every day issues, so much of which you share for free without this cheesy gatekeeping vibe really just helps to keep techs like me going. You're the big brother we all need in the shop demanding quality and actual diagnostics and expecting people to not be perfect but gear up and learn something you maybe didn't know yesterday so you can maybe help the next person out a little more effectively tomorrow and have fun (most of the time) while doing it. Because of you my classroom education is still going for me every day. There is no substitute for experience and you being here for us ensures there is actual substance to the time we spend with a foundation of knowledge. Also, the magic of the internet lets us connect with and see other people who are truly inspired to be good technicians, which is also dope.
Anyone who has found this page must have some kind of an inkling of an interest in learning more than you know and honestly any money you spend on an education from Danner is money well spent. This is the groundwork that will take what you already know and give it a stable leg to stand on or maybe you don't know a damn thing, and this is the place to start. Get the book, watch the classroom videos, watch the youtube videos for days. You will find answers to questions that you've asked yourself or others in the past and have remained unsatisfied with.
Don't be a parts changer and don't get embarrassed when you don't have all the answers. Simply educate yourself and share that knowledge with the people around you. Danner makes it pretty easy.

I bought this book about 8 to ten years ago. It's very easy to read and amazingly useful. You won't be disappointed.
Using your book, course, & your public YouTube videos, I'm keeping our old cars & trucks running while I get my last three kids through tech school. Thanks, Paul.
The textbook with the premium membership amounts to a college level course; worth every penny. The course instruction combined with the supplemental videos gives clarity through clear instruction & real-world experiences. Thanks, brother, for your fine course.
One of the best diagnostic books on the market for sure, very well written and thought out to help the every day technician.
This book is a good book
Hello Mr. Paul,
I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the knowledge and support you shared with us.
Because of your teaching, I was able to open an automotive centre called "german experts" here in Saudi Arabia.
You’ve been a true inspiration, and I’ll always be grateful.
Best regards,
Muhanad

I ordered this book from AES and received it in record time (thanks UPS and AES). I have gone through it cover to cover and am very impressed and excited to put it into practice. I will say that if the advertisements had been crystal clear and how great this book is i would have purchased it years ago.
Every DIYer should have this in their shop, might I say most professionals as well.
