Diagnostic Checking
All modern vehicles have a variety of onboard computers fitted. These monitor the various systems on the vehicle; whenever they detect a fault a fault code is stored. These fault codes can only be accessed & erased using diagnostic equipment. Depending on the severity of the fault a warning light may come, this is warning you that the fault may be serious and the vehicle should be checked as soon as possible. Other more serious faults may result in the car going into “Limp Mode”, this only occurs with serious engine or automatic gearbox faults.

Our workshop is equipped with the latest diagnostic machines which are regularly updated. We are able to check the following systems on most makes and models:

* Engine Management

* Automatic Gearbox

* ABS, ESP, & Traction Control

* Airbags

* Electronic Power Steering

* Central Locking/Alarm

* Service Light Resetting

A diagnostic check costs £45.00, and includes:

* Print out and advice on what components to check.

* Free recheck within 14 days.

* If the problem is repaired by us then the £45.00 checking fee is deducted from the cost of repairs.
