About Us

The team behind iCarsoft New Zealand.

iCarsoft New Zealand is the official New Zealand distributor for iCarsoft diagnostic tools. The business is run here in New Zealand by Nick and the team behind Stahlcar Scan Tools, drawing on more than 15 years of experience supplying and supporting vehicle diagnostic equipment.

We started iCarsoft New Zealand to give customers a proper local source for genuine iCarsoft products, backed by people who understand the tools and can help when choosing, setting up or using them.

How it started

Built from years in the scan tool industry.

iCarsoft New Zealand grew out of Stahlcar Scan Tools, a New Zealand diagnostic tool business that has been supplying scan tools for more than 15 years. During that time, we have worked with home mechanics, vehicle enthusiasts, mobile technicians and professional workshops across the country.

That experience made one thing very clear: customers do not just need a box sent from a warehouse. They need clear product information, realistic advice on vehicle coverage and someone local to contact when they need help.

Becoming the official New Zealand distributor gave us the opportunity to build that support properly around the iCarsoft range, with genuine products, local stock, NZ warranty handling and direct access to the manufacturer when a technical issue needs to be escalated.

The aim is not to sell everyone the biggest tool. It is to help each customer choose the right one for the vehicles and work they actually do.

Our approach

What we do differently.

Scan tools can be difficult to compare, and vehicle coverage can vary by model, year and control system. We keep the advice practical and avoid promising a function unless there is a solid reason to expect it will be supported.

Clear recommendations

We explain the differences between single-make, all-makes and professional tools in plain language, based on what the customer actually needs.

Careful compatibility advice

When a particular function matters, we check the available coverage information rather than relying on broad marketing claims.

Support after the sale

We help with setup, registration, updates and product issues, with NZ-based warranty handling if something goes wrong.

Genuine local stock

Products are supplied through the official iCarsoft channel, with GST included and no uncertainty around unsupported parallel imports.

Who we help

From a single car at home to a full workshop fleet.

Our customers range from people wanting to diagnose and maintain their own vehicle through to busy workshops working across many makes and models. Some need a focused tool for one manufacturer. Others need broad coverage, advanced service functions or regular workshop use.

Because the range covers very different levels of equipment, we spend a lot of time helping customers understand where each model fits. That guidance is a major part of what iCarsoft New Zealand is here to provide.
