FAQs: CAR DIAGNOSTIC SCAN TOOLS
What should I consider when choosing a car diagnostic scanner in NZ?
Look for a tool with wide vehicle coverage, regular software updates, ease of use, and strong after-sales support. At AECS Equipment, we only stock diagnostic scan tools we've tested in real workshopsâso you know you're getting a reliable, technician-friendly device.
Are your diagnostic scan tools compatible with both petrol and diesel vehicles?
Yes, all our Launch scan tools work with both petrol and diesel vehicles. They cover a wide range of makes and models, making them perfect for NZ workshops handling diverse fleets.
How often are software updates available for your scan tools?
Launch scan tools receive frequent updates to ensure compatibility with new vehicle models and systems. With AECS Equipment, you'll be kept up to date so your workshop is always ready for whatever rolls in.
What kind of onboarding or support do you offer for your car scan tools?
We provide full onboarding support, including setup assistance, how-to guidance, and real-time help with diagnostics. Our technical team uses the same tools you do, so youâre getting practical advice that actually works.
Will these scan tools help my workshop be more efficient?
Absolutely. Launch diagnostic scanners are fast, accurate, and user-friendlyâhelping you diagnose faults the first time and reduce wasted hours. That means better workflow, fewer delays, and happier customers.
How much does a professional scan tool cost in NZ?
Our Launch range starts at $1,499 + GST, and full-system workshop tools run from $3,995 + GST (Auscan 4) to $7,895 + GST (Eurotab 3). Those prices include 3 years' software licence, onboarding and NZ technical support. Blackfern members can spread payments over 3, 6 or 12 months.
What's the difference between a $75 OBD2 code reader and a workshop scan tool?
A basic OBD2 reader only reads and clears engine fault codes. A workshop scan tool covers every system, including ABS, airbags, transmission and body modules. It can also run bi-directional tests, code injectors and keys, do service resets, and graph live data. On top of that, it's kept current with software updates and backed by technical support.
Which scan tool is best for European vehicles?
The Eurotab 3 is built for European specialists. It has the deepest coding and programming capability in our range, J2534 pass-thru, and built-in repair information.
