Automotive Tester

An automotive tester can be used to inspect one or more aspects of an automobile. For example, a borescope automotive tester is an automotive inspection camera used by auto body mechanics to see inside car, truck and other vehicle engines before removing any engine parts. Other kinds of automotive tester devices are used to adjust belt tension, test the electronic ignition starter, search for air conditioning leaks, measure the force required to press a brake pedal, determine the antifreeze concentration, or check the paint thickness over collision repairs.

PCE Instruments (PCE) offers a wide variety of automotive tester products. These diagnostic support tools help profesional automobile mechanics identify a number of vehicle repair needs. PCE's automotive tester products can aid in the diagnosis of many different mechanical and electrical system issues, including but not limited to locating the cause of an engine misfire, testing fuel injector resistance, pinpointing an engine coolant leak, or detecting car cylinder head problems. It's no wonder so many auto repair technicians choose to stock theirs shops and garages with PCE automotive tester products.
