CloseDiagnostic Equipment for Garages and Repair Shops
Diagnose before repairing, verify afterward, and prepare for the vehicle inspection: Capelec headlight aimers, emissions analyzers, and brake testers provide your shop with reliable measurements and clear reports for your customers.
In a garage, measurement serves a different purpose than in a vehicle inspection center. It is used to guide a diagnosis, to provide objective support for a decision presented to the customer, and then to verify that a repair has produced the expected result.
A brake tester, an emissions analyzer, or a headlight aimer thus become workshop tools: they are used multiple times on the same vehicle, before and after disassembly, and generating a detailed customer report is part of the job.
Objectify the customer relationship
A measurement report is a valuable alternative to a technical explanation: it shows the discrepancy observed before the service, followed by the result obtained afterward. It serves as both a tool for the job and a way to build trust.
Preparing for the inspection
The pre-inspection check—braking, lighting, emissions—prevents the need for a follow-up visit and saves time for both the customer and the repair shop.
Two reports, two readings
Our software generates a technical report for the repair shop and a detailed, easier-to-read customer report that accompanies the vehicle’s return.

Headlight alignment is one of the most common procedures performed in a repair shop, and one where any inaccuracy is immediately noticeable on the road.
Our headlight alignment tools are compatible with halogen, xenon, LED, and AFS technologies. Installation is simplified, and the ANYWHERE® multi-zone feature allows them to be used at different locations in the shop without tying up a dedicated workstation.
A vehicle leaving the shop must be in compliance. Emissions analysis provides a comprehensive diagnosis of engine combustion—4 gases, NOx, opacity—and enables testing before and after repairs.
Combined gas analyzers and opacimeters bring these measurements together in a single device, making them ideal for workshops that service both gasoline and diesel vehicles in a limited space.
A repair shop has different needs than a vehicle inspection center: usage frequency is lower, but the expected versatility is greater, and available space is often more limited.
Our teams therefore start with your actual operations—vehicles received, most frequent service tasks, bay layout—to propose a appropriately scaled configuration. Installation and maintenance are handled by our network of certified service technicians.

Devices designed for the workshop: quick setup, reliable measurements anywhere in the bay, and before-and-after reports for your customers.
What equipment is needed to set up a garage?
It all depends on the most common procedures: a headlight aimer for adjusting headlights, a gas analyzer, an opacimeter, or a combined emissions tester; a brake tester or a decelerometer for braking. Our teams base their recommendations on your actual operations to propose a tailored configuration.
Can a pre-inspection be performed at a repair shop?
Yes. Braking, lighting, and emissions can be checked before the inspection, which prevents the need for a follow-up visit. The CAP3500 and CAP3600 Workshop units are designed for both combustion diagnostics and pre-inspection checks.
What does the “before/after” report contain?
Workshop equipment generates a technical report for the shop and a more reader-friendly customer report, which shows the vehicle’s condition before and after service: a concrete way to explain and highlight the value of the service.
My workshop is short on space: what are my options?
The CAP2600 Workshop headlight adjuster compensates for floor unevenness and measures anywhere in the workshop, without requiring a dedicated test bay. The CAP9500 decelerometer tests braking without a fixed test stand, and the units mounted on a cart can be moved from one vehicle to another.
Who installs and maintains the equipment?
Installation and maintenance are provided by our network of authorized service technicians, including updates and remote support.
