Agreed with you. Some dealerships won't give a factory scan tool to any autobody or shop. Like small shop do rebuilt on transmission for 20 years+ skill but they can't factory scan tool to reset or restore or overwrite firmware. So, they had send to dealerships to use factory scan tool.
Most euro vehicles are very bitch with scan tool.
The car insurance company know the crippled vehicle will have 2 or more sublets because they (autobody shop) don't repair torn upholstery(caused by air bag deployed) or doesn't have updated repair infro or software in a scan tool for very newer vehicles. Even if you replace new air bag modules in a newer Bentley, then the engine won't start. Who reprogram the air bag modules? Tow to the Bentley dealership to reprogram the modules. For older to modern cars, there will be no problems but sometime they sublet to another shop to do some complicated electrical works.
