Texa is the Leader in the field of diagnostics

Texa is the leader in Fuel Injection Diagnostic Scan Tools. Many manufacturers have chosen the IDC5 multi-brand software and TEXA's VCIs as the official system (OEM) for their authorized service centers, for Marine this includes Selva Marine and Tohatsu Italia

We believe that this is a great advantage also for independent workshops and proof of the product quality.
