Prohire adopts Thinktool diagnostics for mobile repairs

By Categories: Commercial NewsPublished On: Tuesday 21 January 2025

Commercial vehicles rented or leased through Prohire are set to receive greater support, with the decision to kit out the company’s fleet of mobile repair vans with CV-specific diagnostic devices from Thinktool, including its Reader HD and Master CV hand tools.

Prohire, through its Profleet, Proflex, Procare and ProGreen brands, offers vehicle rental, fleet management and support solutions to a wide range of customers. This includes comprehensive maintenance services via its fleet of mobile repair vans, and Thinkcar’s CV tools are becoming standard equipment on these support vehicles.

“Thinktool diagnostic devices cover LCV, HGV and off highway in one product, and offer unbeatable value,” said Alex Gillbanks, managing director of Impact Diagnostics, the specialist supplier behind Thinktool.

“This is why Prohire picked our products for its mobile repair vans.”

The Reader HD and Master CV also cover EV LCVs such as Maxus electric vans, which Prohire also carry within their rental fleet.

Thinktool Reader HD covers 31 CV manufacturers, with wide capability on live data, actuation tests and more, including DPF regeneration, injector coding and trip reset.  Thinktool Reader HD also supports full OBD HD functions. Meanwhile, Thinktool Master CV is a 10-inch tool that offers full vehicle scan, fault code reading and clearance along with maintenance reset functions, covering 150 vehicle manufacturers. Thinktool Master CV also provides 13 special functions and calibrates features across the board.

“CV workshops already know what our Reader HD and Master CV tools can do when it comes to diagnostics and repairs,” said Alex.

“Now, if there is a problem with any of their vehicles, the customers of Prohire will see just how quickly our tools help the mobile maintenance teams find the solution.”

Both Thinktool devices are said to offer high level capability at a competitive price-point, and to be popular with commercial vehicle workshops and technicians.

“This is why we are already selling so many of our Thinktool Reader HD and Thinktool Master CV tools. However, what our customers tell us is while they are an easy buy due to the relatively low price, once they have them, our tools end up being the go-to devices for the workshop.”

Alex added: “Techs out on the road like the convenience of the Thinktool Reader HD and Thinktool Master CV.”
