Vehicle diagnostics without the guesswork.
Stahlcar helps everyday drivers, home mechanics and workshops choose diagnostic tools that make sense for their vehicle, the job they need to do and their budget.
Finding a scan tool should not be the hardest part of diagnosing a car.
Stahlcar started in Auckland in 2011 after we ran into the same problem many customers still face today: there were plenty of scan tools for sale, but very little useful information about which one would actually work with a particular vehicle.
New Zealand roads include vehicles from Japan, Europe, Korea, Australia and America, along with petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric models. A tool that is right for one car or one job may be completely wrong for another.
That is why Stahlcar has always focused on more than simply putting products on a shelf. We research and test the tools we sell, work with established manufacturers and suppliers, and explain what each model is designed to do in plain language.
Since 2011, Stahlcar has supplied thousands of diagnostic tools throughout New Zealand. The range has grown, but the purpose has stayed the same: help customers choose the right tool and give them local backup when they need it.
