When a diagnostic check makes sense
- Engine management or check-engine warning light
- ABS, airbag or other dashboard warning lights
- Unusual noises, rough running, or a loss of power
- Electrical faults: windows, central locking, dashboard displays
- Before buying a used car with an unclear history
What's involved
A full scan reads the fault codes stored across the engine, ABS, airbag and other control units, and reviews live sensor data while the engine runs. This identifies exactly what's triggering a warning light or fault, so parts get replaced because they're actually faulty, not on a guess. Covers electrical fault diagnosis, engine management issues and the general advanced diagnostic checks needed to get to the bottom of an intermittent or hard-to-pin-down problem.
Same-visit fixes where possible
Plenty of faults, a sensor, a connector, a specific component, can be fixed on the spot once properly diagnosed. Where parts need ordering for your specific vehicle, you'll get a clear explanation of exactly what's wrong and a price before any follow-up work is booked.

Frequently asked questions
What does a diagnostic check actually find?
A full diagnostic scan reads fault codes stored by the engine, ABS, airbag and other control units, and can review live sensor data while the engine runs. This pinpoints exactly what's triggering a warning light or fault, rather than guessing and replacing parts on a hunch.
Will you fix the fault on the same visit?
Many faults can be fixed on the spot once diagnosed, a sensor, connector or component swap. Where parts need ordering for your specific vehicle, you'll get a clear explanation of what's wrong and a price before any follow-up work.
Do you cover electric and hybrid vehicles?
Diagnostic equipment covers the vast majority of makes and models on the road, including many hybrid systems. If you're unsure whether your specific vehicle is covered, send over the registration and it'll be confirmed before booking.
