A trusted tools and equipment partner

As Australasia’s preferred automotive parts distributor, CoolDrive Auto Parts is a trusted tools and equipment supplier for workshops across Australia and New Zealand. Proudly family owned and operated, the company has established partnerships with leading global brands renowned for quality, innovation, and reliability, giving workshops access to professional-grade tools and equipment across a wide range of automotive applications. Among these trusted partners are SP Tools, AFI, Bosch, Launch, Jaylec, Prologics, Aunger, Alemlube, Macnaught, GYS, and Jayrad, with the combined range spanning diagnostics, electrical testing, specialist servicing, fluid handling, and general workshop requirements.

Hand tools and diagnostics

SP Tools forms a key part of the offering, with high-quality hand tools manufactured to exceed international standards, available individually or in a variety of kits to suit a broad range of servicing and repair applications. For diagnostics and air-conditioning servicing, Bosch A/C service units and KTS diagnostic tools provide workshops with dedicated solutions, while Launch’s AUSCAN4 adds further diagnostic capability to the line-up. AFI’s diagnostic equipment includes leak-testing smoke machines and walnut blasters for carbon cleaning, providing specialist solutions for identifying leaks and removing carbon deposits without stripping an engine down.

Workshop speciality and fluid handling

Aunger’s workshop speciality tools support a range of applications, including braking, leak detection, suspension, and diesel injector servicing, while Jayrad’s engine cooling radiator pressure tester kits provide a practical, low-cost solution for pressure testing and identifying potential cooling system issues before they become expensive repairs. Workshop and fluid handling requirements are further supported by Alemlube’s extensive range, including hose reels, oil drainers, drum pumps, evaporative coolers, hoists, tyre changers, wheel balancers, and other workshop and wheel service equipment, with Macnaught adding dedicated oil transfer equipment to the mix.

Electrical tools, training and support

Electrical technicians can access dedicated tools from Jaylec, including electrical crimping and soldering tools, complemented by electrical test equipment from both Jaylec and Prologics. GYS rounds out the electrical offering with induction tools and battery chargers, providing further solutions for day-to-day workshop applications. Beyond its extensive tools and equipment offering, CoolDrive supports workshops through practical technical training, helping technicians build their knowledge and confidence when working with modern vehicle technologies. This is complemented by CoolData, CoolDrive’s technical resource platform, which provides access to extensive vehicle information to help streamline maintenance, repair, and diagnostic processes.

Together, CoolDrive’s tools, equipment, training, and technical resources give workshops access to the products and support required to improve capability, efficiency, and confidence, from the workshop floor through to the front counter.
