Equipment 01-02
First workshop essentials
Battery Testing and Leak Detection
1. Battery tester
There are certainly many incidents in an auto repair store where a car will not start due to a damaged car battery. Having a battery tester can help a lot, especially an instrument that can print out test results.
Having printed results means you will not forget the test result. All you need to do is print the result and stick it on the battery after testing. This makes the battery tester a convenient device for daily shop work.
2. Pipe leak detector
There are many pipes in every car, and they may leak no matter what type of pipe they are. Sometimes a tiny leak that is unnoticeable can cause a lot of damage and may even lead to spontaneous auto combustion.
Having a pipe leak detector helps you detect whether pipes are leaking and can help customers remove driving hazards in advance or in time.
Equipment 03
Injector service equipment
3. Injector Cleaner & Tester
Fuel injectors have a very close relationship with car power. Good injectors often mean that the car has sufficient power, while bad injectors can seriously affect the car’s power and sometimes even cause the car to be unable to start.
Having an injector cleaner and tester will help your customers test their injectors and clean clogged injectors. You can both test and clean the injectors, so customers may not need to spend a lot of money on new injectors in the future.
Equipment 04-05
Carbon cleaning and diagnosis
Engine Carbon Removal and OBDII Diagnosis
4. Engine carbon removal machine
Every car’s engine cannot escape the fate of carbon accumulation. Carbon can cause engine heat dissipation difficulties and reduce the efficiency of gasoline combustion, along with other problems.
Therefore, it is wise for car wash and repair stores to have an engine decarbonization machine. While the customer is maintaining the car, the shop can also clean carbon from the engine. The original article notes that it may not take many jobs to make back the cost of the engine carbon removal machine.
If you need to do more advanced car maintenance, you can choose a dry ice flush machine. It can clean engine carbon and can also flush the car body without causing damage to the car.
5. OBDII Code Reader
Advancements in the automotive industry have enabled technology to take center stage in how cars operate. This has changed car diagnosis, and as an auto shop, you need an OBDII code reader to run diagnostic tests quickly.
This allows you to know what is wrong with a client’s car without having to spend hours performing a trial-and-error manual diagnosis.
