Our district is looking to buy some diagnostic software but we're not sure what would help us the most. We found the TPX SB School Bus diagnostic scan tool and it says it diagnoses Blue Bird, International, and Thomas. It basically lists everything you can think of in the description for only $1500. Does anyone have this to verify if it's any good?

I don't use that specific product by TPX, but I do buy all of my diagnostic software and translation devices from them. Never had an issue.

yes you have to renew it every year. I'm not sure about calibrations though. You may need to call them on that.

Here is the link to the one we're looking at. It comes with 2 years of free updates, so yeah it'll have to be updated after that. And I'm pretty sure it says somewhere in there that it does calibrations
