In today’s fast-paced automotive industry, diagnostic tools must go beyond basic functionality—they need to be rugged, reliable, and ready for the demands of modern technicians. Whether you’re working at a dealership service bay, in a high-volume repair shop, or handling fleet maintenance, the Getac A140 delivers unmatched versatility and performance tailored to the automotive environment.
From advanced diagnostics to real-time vehicle communication, the A140 is built to improve technician productivity and shop efficiency.
Precision Diagnostics for Modern Vehicles
As cars become more connected and software-driven, the complexity of diagnostics grows. The Getac A140 supports industry-leading automotive software such as:
- OEM diagnostics (Ford IDS, GM GDS2, Chrysler wiTECH, etc.)
- Jaltest multi-brand diagnostics
- Repair databases and service management systems
Its Intel® Core™ processors and Windows 10 Pro platform ensure compatibility and speed when running memory-intensive software or multitasking across platforms.
Designed for the Shop Floor
The Getac A140 was made with technicians in mind. The 14” touchscreen display is large enough for split-screen diagnostics or wiring diagrams, yet compact enough to move easily between service bays. Key shop-floor features include:
- Sunlight-readable display for outdoor inspections
- Glove-compatible touchscreen (capacitive with optional digitizer)
- Multiple I/O ports (including RS232 serial, USB, and optional LAN) to connect to diagnostic adapters and vehicle interfaces
- Hot-swappable dual batteries for all-day use without interruptions
Whether you’re diagnosing a modern EV or a diesel truck, the A140 can connect and deliver.

Modern shops don’t operate from a desk. The Getac A140 supports true mobility with features like:
- Integrated GPS for location-based inspections
- Wi-Fi 6 & optional 4G LTE for seamless connection to cloud-based repair databases and remote support
- Vehicle reprogramming capabilities through reliable USB and serial interfaces
Technicians can walk around the vehicle, conduct pre-delivery inspections, run real-time system scans, and flash ECUs—all without returning to a fixed station.
