Today's vehicles are packed with electronic control systems which run everything from the engine management to tyre pressures. Sometimes the system will pick up a fault and the information will be stored in the On Board Diagnostics System. Using the most up to date test equipment, we can plug in to your vehicle and check the system for any stored fault codes, perform live vehicle data tests and carry out a vehicle check. 

We often carry out repairs for other local garages that either don’t have the level of equipment or knowledge required to solve complicated issues with Can Bus and Linus faults, or program in new components. 

All diagnostic work is booked in for a minimum of 1 hour’s labour, which is authorised by the customer on the check in sheet, when the vehicle is dropped off. This allows us some time to access the vehicle and carry out some testing in order to formulate a test plan. Quite often we are able to diagnose the cause of the fault and rectify it in the first hour. However If we do need more time for further investigation or any parts are needed, we will first contact you for further authority. This way you always know what costs have been agreed before any work is carried out.
