Despite rising new car sales post-pandemic, sector analysts GiPA have noted that one of the fastest growing parc segments is cars aged 10 years and above.
“While this is obviously good news for the aftermarket” said Alex Gillbanks, managing director of Impact Diagnostics, the specialist supplier behind Thinkcar UK, “vehicles from over 10 years ago were already very intricate. They feature an array of electronic systems, with packed-out engine bays leaving no room to work. This means garages need new tools to help them.”
Thinkcar UK is therefore bringing a wide array of task-specific tools to the market to help techs deal with this trend. Among these is the Thinkcar ES401 Steering Endoscope which is designed to support techs performing inspections in tight spaces. The tool is also said to enable mechanics to inspect examine components including combustion chambers and three-way catalytic sensors. Used in tandem with Thinkcar UK devices, such as the Thinktool Euro Expert 195 diagnostic scantool, the ES401 aims to help techs solve problems swiftly and cost-effectively.
Tools such as the Euro Expert 195 also provide a gateway into Thinkcar UK’s ecosystem of garages offering remote diagnostics. Also, through the Thinkcar UK live remote programming network you can access other workshops who can help to guide and program the vehicle with you.
