Car Diagnostic Tools

Is there garage standard after market car diagnostic tools out there? Any suggestions would be welcomed?

Not quite sure what do you mean either, but if you mean a place to get decent diagnostic equipment, I'd personally recommend http://auto-testers.com/ , they 've got really good and inexpensive devices, I've got a few of them in my automotive garage (EDIA5, TCR3, ZCR-3) You could always google other retailers, there is an expanding market for diagnostic tools.

Theres plenty of high end diagnostic tools available. Snap-On, NexiQ, OTC. Google is your friend. Be prepared to spend some $.

I bought most of what I have from the tool trucks that come around. Expensive sometimes but the payment plan is great. Buy the high-end when you have to use it every day and lesser quality when not used as much.

I have had a look round and found some. Which brands and models would your recommend, bearing in mind their is no financial restrains?

What do you mean to say? I am new here.

I would think that garage standard tools would take up a good sized room.

From personal experience i found a cheap diagnostic tool which ive used for the past couple of years. Its good on all makes and didnt cost me that much. I dont know how much it would be now but i got a laptop based one for like 800 quid.

Got it from a local company i saw an advert in cat magazine. I still talk to them as well. They are called Tecnodiagnostics.

But if you want a cheap cheap one you can always get stuff from china. Ive had loads of chinese stuff for under 200 quid but always breaks.


Hope this helps

If you have actually been included in a break down then you will know the worth of the car diagnostic equipment. These are intended to help you get out of a confusing situation.
