At Kent Car Craft we are determind to to keep up with the latest diagnostic techniques and equipment. We currently have several different pieces of state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to test and repair your vehicle at our disposal, details of which are below:

LAUNCH X-431

This is a serial scan tool which covers most vehicle manufacturers on the market. We can use this tool to scan for faults in your vehicles Engine, ABS, Airbag, Transmission, Immobiliser, Central Locking, Climate Control, Traction Control, Power Window systems and many more...


''More OEM level diagnostics than any other tool in the aftermarket industry...''


We can also carry out MAIN DEALER operations such as live data streaming, injector programming, ECU/component coding and adaptions, key coding etc...

SMOKE PRO LEAK DETECTION MACHINE

This is one of the most useful pieces of equipment we use. By emitting a fine mist of smoke into the intake/exhaust system we can quickly and accurately check for even the smallest air/exhaust gas leaks that would cause problems such as the following:

  • Erratic/high idle
  • Misfire/hesitation
  • Emissions failure
  • Lack of power
  • Noisy exhaust
  • Engine warning light illuminated

It can also be used to find wind/water leaks!

PICO OSCILLOSCOPE

This is the market leading oscilloscope for testing virtually any electrical system on the vehicle, no other oscilloscope can touch it!

Once the serial scan tool indicates a fault we need to thoroughly test the relevant systems using the oscilloscope to ensure accurate, first time diagnosis. Not only can we test almost every electrical component on the car, we can set the unit to test for things such as unknown battery drains and intermittent faults.

We also have many other tools available, so whether you have a warning light illuminated, a running problem or a flat battery we can help you get back on the road in no time!
