Abstract: A method of enabling continued access to a vehicle-specific diagnostic data package includes receiving a vehicle diagnostic data package generated from a scan of a specific vehicle at a first location, appending a unique identifier to the diagnostic data package, communicating the diagnostic data package with the appended unique identifier to one or more servers where the diagnostic data package can be stored at a location indexable by the unique identifier, and producing a copy of a diagnostic report generated by the server(s). The copy of the diagnostic report may include a barcode (e.g., QR code) representative of the location where the diagnostic data package is stored on the server(s) and further representative of at least one provider of automotive parts or repair services. The barcode may be scannable by a handheld computing device to enable access to the diagnostic data package and identification of the at least one provider.
