Tools And Equipment

Keep Tools And Equipment Ready for Any Job

Proper tools and equipment make every maintenance task safer and more efficient. Without reliable gear, repairs take longer and risk damage to the truck. Over time, wear, corrosion, and misuse can cause tools to fail. At ATG Truck Parts, we provide genuine Western Star replacements that last longer and perform better than generic alternatives.

Inspect Common Hand Tools

The wrench is essential for loosening and tightening bolts and nuts on trucks. Western Star wrenches resist bending, stripping, and corrosion. Damaged or worn wrenches can cause injury or damage parts during repairs. Regular inspection and replacement keep work precise and safe.

Maintain Diagnostic Tools

The diagnostic scanner identifies engine and system issues quickly. On the Western Star 4900 and Western Star 5700, factory scanners offer compatibility and accurate readings unmatched by generic brands. Broken or outdated scanners lead to misdiagnosis and wasted time. ATG Truck Parts supplies genuine scanners that keep trucks on schedule and repairs accurate.

Check Lifting Equipment

The hydraulic jack allows safe lifting for tire and brake work. On models like the Western Star 4900 and Western Star 5700, authentic jacks hold weight reliably and resist leaks or failure. Worn seals or rust compromise lifting safety and efficiency. Using genuine Western Star equipment ensures protection for both the truck and the technician.
