Minitools tutorials turn 1!
Minitools celebrates 1 year of video tutorials! For more than 25 years, Minitools has put customer service first, trying to be always there and to offer quick and efficient solutions to any problems that may occur repairing an instrument cluster. So, one year ago, Minitools decided to shoot a series of video tutorials to help its customers carry out various repairs, describing in detail each step to be taken and listing the tools useful for them. Thanks to all of you for supporting us over the last year, we will continue to work for you as always, and in case we haven’t made the video you need, you can request it to our technical assistance and we will try to accommodate your request!
