A new car workshop usually needs a lift for each bay, a full-system diagnostic scanner, a battery tester, a low-profile floor jack and stands, an air impact wrench and compressor line, a waste oil drainer and a tool trolley with a full set. Add an aircon machine, TPMS tool or programming power supply for the services you plan.
For every bay
- Lift a two-post lift suits most cars; check ceiling height and floor.
- Jack and stands a low-profile floor jack reaches lowered cars.
- Tool trolley and set sockets, wrenches, screwdrivers and pliers in one place.
- Air impact wrench with a hose reel to the bay.
For the workshop
- Diagnostic scanner full-system, with the resets you use most.
- Battery tester ideally one that prints a report.
- Waste oil drainer mobile suction or gravity type.
- Service kits ATF extractor, coolant tester, brake bleeder, torque wrench.
If you offer these services
- Aircon an all-in-one recovery and flushing machine.
- Tyres a TPMS tool to program and relearn sensors.
- Programming a stable power supply such as the THINKPPS 150.
- EVs an EV-capable scanner and an EV battery lift.
Buy in the right order
Lifts and air lines go in before the opening; scanners and testers can follow. One supplier for the whole list keeps delivery and set-up on one schedule.
