Guide to Automotive Tools and Equipment

Where to get the automotive tools and equipment your business needs


Automotive tools encompass everything from basic wrenches to expensive diagnostic equipment. Your business may need just simple automobile tools to do oil changes or you may provide extensive services to your customers with a full service garage. Find the niche that works for your customers needs and then purchase the automotive equipment to get the job done.

Decide what services you want to offer your customers. You can provide tire service, quick oil change and lubes, air conditioning maintenance or all of the above. Purchase auto equipment that meets these needs. Look at the following when deciding which car equipment you need:

1. Choose auto equipment for a single service garage.

2. Purchase automotive tools and equipment for your full service garage.

3. Select the correct automotive equipment to diagnose your customer's car trouble.

Action Steps

The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Offer a single service with car equipment for that job If there are no quick lubes in your area, you may want to start a car garage for oil changes only. Offer service in a guaranteed period or offer to pick up and return customers cars from local work places. Another good niche business is checking and servicing air conditioners if you live in warm climates. Find just the car equipment you need for this type of business.

I recommend:  Chain Auto offers automotive tools for oil changes. They offer a full line of oil wrenches and pliers. Fill out their form, email them or call for a quote on the car tools you need. Hechinger offers oil change car tools and their products usually ship in 3 to 5 days.

Buy car tools for your full service garage Full service garages need autopart equipment that covers everything that may happen to a person's car from minor oil leaks to a complete engine overhaul. Your customers will expect you to fix anything or perform routine car maintenance.

I recommend:  USA Tools Inc. offers a complete line of automotive equipment and tools. Order online or call for more information about any tool you find in their online store. Parts America offers a full line of tools from body repair to brake tools to jacks, ramps and stands. Look at their line up and compare prices.

Install diagnostic vehicle equipment to detect malfunctions Many times your customers will not know what is wrong with their car. Diagnose and repair 'that thumping noise' with the correct automotive tool. Guide yourself through this procedure with diagnostic car equipment that tells you exactly what is wrong with the car.

I recommend:  TOOLRAGE offers a complete list of diagnostic car tools. Check for cylinder leaks, exhaust, ignitions and other tests to determine what repair work is necessary. Tool Desk offers testers for batteries, starters and alternators. Look at all of the test equipment and purchase the one you need.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
  • Automotive tools and equipment are very expensive. Make sure you insure your tools for lost, stolen or manufacturer's defect or have them covered under your business insurance plan.
