Andrew started Techno Diagnostics after fifteen years on the tools.
Andrew Stead started Techno Diagnostics in 1999, after fifteen years on the tools in independent garages across England. He'd watched too many workshops get sold diagnostic kit by people who'd never held it.
Every product we stock has been through our own bay first. If we won't use it on a customer's vehicle, we won't put it in front of you. That rule keeps the line card short: six brands, around two dozen tools. It's why we can tell you straight which one fits your workshop and which one doesn't.

How we sell
No high-pressure quotes. Nobody on the line is on commission. The conversation starts with what your workshop is doing day to day.
-
We ask before we quote
What vehicles do you see most? Where's the margin leaking in the shop? How many technicians will use the tool? We'd rather find out you need a £600 OSCA cable than sell you a £4,000 scan tool you won't fully use.
-
We demo before we sell
We come to your workshop. We plug the tool into a vehicle you're working on. You make the buying decision with hands on the hardware and eyes on live data.
-
Support doesn't end at the sale
Hardware fault, software update that won't apply, a vehicle the tool won't communicate with. Our phone number is the first one you call, and we answer.
Why these categories
Every brand we stock earned its place by holding up under repeat work in real workshops.
