A car repair shop requires a range of machinery and tools to perform vehicle maintenance and repair operations efficiently and safely. Some of the most important machines found in a workshop are:
- Car lifts: These are devices that elevate the vehicle to facilitate access to the lower parts and perform tasks such as changing oil, filters, brakes, etc. There are different types of lifts, such as scissor lifts, column lifts, and portable lifts.
- Wheel changers: These machines separate the tire from the rim, allowing you to change or repair the tire, balance the wheel, or replace the valve stem. There are automatic, semi-automatic, or manual tire changers, and some can work with car, van, or motorcycle tires.
- Wheel balancers: These are machines that measure wheel imbalance and determine the number and position of weights needed to correct it. A well-balanced wheel prevents vibrations, uneven wear, and increased fuel consumption. Some balancers are manual, others electronic, and others automatic.
- Air compressors: These are machines that generate compressed air to power other pneumatic tools, such as paint sprayers, impact wrenches, drills, etc. Compressors come in a variety of sizes, power, and capacities, depending on the workshop's needs.
- Tool carts: These are pieces of furniture with wheels that allow you to store and transport the most commonly used tools in the workshop, such as screwdrivers, pliers, hammers, wrenches, etc. Carts usually have several drawers and compartments to organize the tools and make them easy to access.
Car diagnostic machines are devices that allow you to detect and troubleshoot vehicle faults. There are different brands and models of diagnostic machines sold in Europe, each with its own specific features and functions. Some of the most popular brands are Bosch, Guttman, and Autel, among others.
Diagnostic machines connect to the car or motorcycle's OBD II port, which is the system that manages the vehicle's electronic control unit. Through this port, the machine can read and clear error codes generated when there is a fault in the engine, brake system, airbag, fuel system, etc. Additionally, some machines offer advanced functions such as injector coding, ABS brake bleeding, service reset, or key programming.
Diagnostic machines can be specific to a car make or model, or multi-make, meaning they are compatible with a wide variety of vehicles. Specific machines typically have more functions and accuracy for the car they are intended for, but they are more expensive and limited. Multi-make machines are more versatile and economical, but may not cover all of the car's functions or systems.
When choosing a diagnostic tool, it's important to consider the intended use, the type and year of manufacture of the car, the features and services it offers, and the price. It's also important that the tool has a large, clear display, a long-lasting battery, sufficient internal memory, and the ability to update software via Wi-Fi or USB.
Pass-thru is a technology that allows independent workshops to access technical information from vehicle manufacturers through their online portals. With pass-thru, workshops can perform tasks such as maintenance, repair, configuration, and reprogramming of control units using the manufacturer's original data. Bosch offers pass-thru software and diagnostic equipment compatible with the SAE J2534 protocol, such as the new generation of KTS. Pass-thru is a solution that expands workshop services and allows them to work with all types of vehicles, following the Euro 5 standard.
Hella Gutmann offers pass-through solutions for various vehicle makes and models, with diagnostic equipment such as the Mega Macs PC x-Change or the Mega Macs 66.
