True Scale Miniatures of California has some garage accessories made for them. I don't see any individual tools, though.
The link for them is:

Hello Guys,

Thanks for the link, that is what I am looking to do, I did try Hightechmodell, I never got a response from Martin Taxis, there is another site hobby-carmodel.com that has Hightechmodell products and you were able to buy it on line is not working anymore, go figure.

Thanks again!

Hi Fred,

I send an email to Martin Taxis a couple of times last year, he did not reply back, if he had a automatic check out I will buy it directly on his website you need to contac him first in order to place the order, hope you can talk to him.

Thanks!

Scalelink do a whole range of tools which can be quite useful for the older type garage and I've also used 1/48 etc tools from Aber (available from Martola) - they do a nice tool box with a variety of wrenches etc,

There are some inexpensive modelkits called "Great Garages" I see on ebay all the time.They contain a 1/43 car kit Corvette,viper etc,and a workshop diorama including bench,tools,stands,compressor etc.I'm sure some of this can be used and at a low price.

Hello Abel,

I also know Martin and I’ve already built some of his magnificent High Tech dioramas in 1/43 with all the small accessoires. You can see below an example

I’ve reached him by phone before 20 minutes and I’ve told him that you and Fred have tried to contact him.

Currently, he is often in his workshop and therefore only the voicemail is reached, but every request email -written in english- will be answered!

So – if you are still interested you can send him again an email.

I hope that I could help you with this actual news!

Regards,
Arno

By the way:
The note from “ audifan “ with the inexpensive modelkits called “Great Garages” is not bad!
I’ve also several mini-dioramas from “Mini-Rama” similar to the dioramas from “Great Garages” or “Schuco”.

They are are simple and cheap and I’ve only bought them for spare parts.
But unfortunately, all parts are fixed with super glue and it is very difficult to solve the parts without damaging or breaking!
