Excellent customer service and swift product delivery. The website is a little clunky and looks like it hasn't been updated since the early 90's - but aside from that they sell the best diagnostic kit... See more

Superb OBD2 & Software

Purchased an OBD2 kit for Fiat & Alfa Romeo etc. Cost a bit more than the unbranded tat on eBay, but worked perfectly. Multiecuscan with the supplied adaptors can access every module, system & computer in the car.

An absolutely disgraceful behaviour by Mike

Absolutely disgraceful behavior by Mike! I had a lot of questions to ask about a diagnostic tool and in the end he told me that I have been asking questions for 5 hours and that they are here to help but not to chat..

He didnt even offer an apology when I called to complaint! I am in true shock!

I need a manager to give me a call asap! Before ai consider taking legal action! I have photo of what he told me! Unbelievable behaviour!!

A total disgrace!

Hi Tolis,
I politely answered your questions, (even when you repeated questions to try to get me to recommend something that was cheaper, but less suitable for your car), every few minutes for over 4 hours.
When it got to nearly 5 hours, and you then asked me why you needed to buy a diagnostic tool (after spending over 4 hours asking us to recommend one), I simply replied:
"Not meaning to be rude, but you've been asking questions for almost 5 hours.
We're here to help, but not to chat".

It was an attempt to end the conversation politely, as the conversation with you had gone on for half a day, and we weren't getting anywhere.
I do not feel I was rude, and when you phoned to complain I apologised if you thought it was.

As I tried to explain on the phone, you are not our only customer, and spending half of my working day answering one customer's questions impacts heavily on the time I can be offering customer service to other customers.

Poor

Supposed to have this item delivered to my home address instead they deliver it to a hub which is a shop and as I work a lot I had to take time off to go and get this item , poor service also not a great product for the money wouldn’t use this company again just like to add that when I order a item I expect not to run around trying to pick it up from a delivery point like I said wouldn’t use this company again. Poor service and poor response to my complaint just show you they just don’t care about there customer

Hi Michael,

I'm sorry to hear you're not happy and have left a negative review – as you can see from our other reviews, customer satisfaction is very important to us, and we’re saddened and disappointed whenever a customer is anything but happy.

However, in direct response to your review:

You ordered via our website at 8:30 on a Sunday evening, and chose not to upgrade from our free delivery service, which for the product you chose was DHL.

We despatched the order on the Monday, and DHL attempted delivery to your address the following day, but there was no answer at the door.
While it is certainly more common for the parcel to be returned to the depot, for delivery to be reattempted at a later date, your nearest depot (Exeter) is over 44 miles (at least 50 minutes drive) from your address, and is only open between 8am and 8pm, 6 days a week.

As a result, the driver decided it would be a better option to leave the parcel at your nearest 'Service Point' – a local shop, which is only 0.3 miles (a 6 minute walk) from your nominated delivery address, and is open from 7am to 9pm, 6 days a week.
You collected the parcel the following day, and have activated the product.

Although it's unusual for a missed delivery to be taken to a service point after the first delivery attempt, it gave you the opportunity to get the parcel the same day within 15 minutes, rather than a 2-hour round-trip to the depot.

We were disappointed that your first recourse was to open an 'Item not received' PayPal dispute, rather than contacting us.
If collecting from the service point was going to be a problem, had you spoken to us, we may have been able to arrange redelivery. Once the dispute was open, our hands were tied.
As I write this (4 days after you activated the product), I notice you have not updated the PayPal case to say you have now received the item.

With regards to the product, again if you have an issue, please contact us. The vast majority of feedback we receive for that particular product reflects upon how good the value is. There are very few diagnostic tools on the market that offer the same (near dealer-level) coverage, for anywhere near the price.

[Update - November 2025]
Just to respond to your revised review - "when I order a item I expect not to run around trying to pick it up from a delivery point".
Then why order for delivery on a day you're not going to be home?
DHL delivered it to a Service Point literally a few hundred yards from your front door.

What a great company

What a great company. Really helpful advice when you ring up for help confirming what you need. Quick delivery, and great sense of humour with the packaging email!! ( you have to order something just to read the dispatch email)!!
Thanks for the help. Delighted with the VW SFD unlock in the OBD11 kit, and as a result, folding mirrors quickly coded correctly. Very Happy. Thank You.

Professional outfit

Do not be put off by the website. This is a fantastic and professional company to do business with. Ordered a HEX GS-911 and it arrived less than 24 hours later. Excellent price and delivered securely wrapped. Kept up to date with the progress of my order. All correspondence was very customer friendly.
Only criticism, I would prefer Haribo Tangfastics next time please 😂

Great service

Great service. The website is a bit dated in appearance but the product details and service are there behind it. The complimentary Haribo are always appreciated.

Though, I do have a little bit of doubt with some of the detail provided in the despatch confirmation email.

"Our packing specialist from Sweden lit a scented candle and demanded silence from everyone in the office. A perfect ambiance is required to allow him to achieve packaging perfection."

As much as I'd like to believe this, the reasonableness of their prices do cast doubt on the affordability of this kind of excess and would appreciate proof of this level of service. That being said, the parcel was well packed and smelled nice so it may all be true.

Other than some doubts about the above I have been very happy with the service provided.

Excellent Service

First time user of their services and I was absolutely delighted with the service received. They notified me when my item was being sorted and also when posted and it actually arrived in less than 24hours of ordering. Well done to them, I will definitely use their services again if needs be.

5 stars customer service experience

5 stars customer service experience, item arrived very fast, very well packaged with two small packages of sweets included, the VCDS OBD scanner already tested on two different cars and the tool done fantastic jobs, from easy full scan to delicate coding and set a second hand BCM ( body control module) on Seat Ibiza sport 2009, I love the HEX-NET model with WIFI interface because very comfortable to use, no cable connections to my tablet I can easily enjoy my mug of coffee on desk and keep doing the jobs on car
