The story of how Innova started
Innova was founded by two brilliant minds with the same mission.
Our story starts 30+ years ago... Strap in.
Equus was one of the founding pioneers in test equipment and gauges.
"During 1990, I realized that we needed a company that exclusively focuses on automotive diagnostics and research, which is why I founded Innova. Together with the help of some ASE Master Techs, we were able to compile one of the nation's largest diagnostic database."
Ieon Chen, CEO of Equus and Innova Electronics
This helped establish Equus and Innova as an automotive research & development powerhouse in the United States.
In 1999, the company began discussing ideas on how to create a fix database for the perfect solution for auto diagnostic needs.
Then, between 1999-2000 we began the compilation of the database. Due to lack of technology and resources at the time, many of its data was created via "paper and pencil."
ISO 9001 is a worldwide standard recognized for quality management. It assists organizations across all sizes and sectors in enhancing performance, fulfilling customer expectations, and showcasing their dedication to quality.
Some well-known companies that use and are ISO 9001 certified include: Microsoft, IBM, Samsung Electronics, Pfizer, and Coca-Cola.
Fix Logic is the database that powered four automotive powerhouse brands - FixDB, CarMD, CanOBD2, and OBDFix. This Fix Logic was created by Keith Andreasen (a Master ASE tech) and further developed by Metafuse.
FixDB (Fix Database) was integral to the distribution of repair solutions, ensuring that detailed fixes were consistently delivered to the OBDFix, CanOBD2, and CarMD websites. This centralized database maintained a comprehensive and up-to-date repository of repair information, making it easily accessible across these platforms.
CanOBD2 is a comprehensive website developed by Metafuse in 2005, dedicated to serving the DIY automotive community. It empowers users to diagnose and troubleshoot a wide range of vehicle issues using advanced OBD2 (On-Board Diagnostics) technology. Designed for both professional technicians and DIY enthusiasts, CanOBD2 offers real-time data, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and detailed descriptions of problems. This user-friendly platform enables anyone to quickly pinpoint and resolve automotive issues, making car repairs more accessible and manageable for everyone.
OBDFix.com served as a professional platform where automotive technicians could exchange detailed fixes, share practical tips, and provide comprehensive service information. This community-driven site allowed techs to support each other by sharing their expertise and real-world solutions to various automotive issues. By facilitating this exchange of knowledge, OBDFix.com helped validate and grow our database of fixes, ensuring that the information remained accurate and up-to-date while continually expanding the repository of repair solutions.
In 2006, Innova revolutionized the automotive repair industry with the launch of the 3100c, the first repair solutions system introduced via CD. This innovative approach, unprecedented among competitors, marked the beginning of what would evolve into the RS2 system we know today.
CarMD.com Corporation was launched to empower consumers by providing them with tools and information to make better-educated decisions about their vehicle’s health. The brainchild of long-time automotive aftermarket visionary Ieon C. Chen, the company aimed to offer a consumer-friendly solution for diagnosing their car’s check engine light. CarMD makes it as easy for consumers to identify and understand vehicle issues as it is to fill their gas tank, enabling them to make informed decisions about necessary repairs and maintenance.
In 2009, we expanded our Master Tech Committee, Data Acquisition, and Beta Testing facilities throughout Orange County. These teams played a crucial role in developing innovative solutions and conducting thorough field testing to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of our products. Their expertise and real-world testing were instrumental in refining our diagnostic tools and repair databases.
In fact, some of these dedicated technicians still contribute valuable fixes and insights today, helping to uphold our high standards and drive the continuous improvement of our products.
At this point, Innova now owned over 80% of the retail space when it came to OBD2 diagnostic scanners. People love our diagnostic data!
Which is why Innova created a repair app as the world moved into a digital age.
"The Edison Awards™ is among the most prestigious accolades honoring excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design and innovation."
Did you know? Our headquarters is over 100,000 sq. ft. large! We handle all logistics and shipping at our warehouse.
The building was also personally designed by our very own CEO - Ieon Chen.
By 2013, we sold more OBD2 scanners than any other diagnostic company in the United States. How exciting is that?
We're truly thankful for everyone who trusts and loves our products. Our R&D department continues to do its best to provide you the most accurate and useful dianostic data.
"Innova represents our chance to create a thriving enterprise grounded in our passion for automotive innovation. It offers us a window into the diverse challenges faced by mechanics and DIY enthusiasts in the automotive industry. These insights are opportunities for us to devise solutions that will define our future. Currently, our mission is straightforward: to build an exceptional business that ensures success not only for ourselves but for our customers and the broader automotive community as well."
Ieon Chen, CEO of Equus and Innova Electronics
