The auto service technicians probably have to buy their own OBD scanners, so it would be whatever they decide to buy in that instance. The Snap-On Solus Pro is probably pretty common. If you want to buy one, it's about $3900. For $150 - $400, you can buy a lower end model at various auto parts suppliers such as O'Reilly, Auto Zone, Advanced Auto Parts, etc.
