Engine Diagnostics
How do we find the fault?
- 1
When something goes wrong, your car usually stores a fault code. We plug in diagnostic equipment to read it.
- 2
A code tells us where to look, not always what’s broken. So we test properly before replacing anything, so you don’t pay for parts you don’t need.
- 3
Then you get a straight answer: what’s wrong, what it costs, and whether it’s worth fixing. If it needs a specialist, we’ll tell you.
When should you get it checked?

Is it safe to drive with the engine light on?
A steady amber light means get it checked soon. A flashing or red light means stop when it’s safe and call us.
What if the repair isn’t worth it?
We’ll tell you straight. If it’s not worth fixing, or needs a specialist, we’ll say so and point you in the right direction.
Will I know the price before you start?
Yes. We look at the car first, then call you with a clear price. Nothing extra gets done without your OK.
Do you work on my make of car?
We work on all makes and models, from everyday runarounds to classics.
How long will it take?
Plenty of jobs are done the same day. Once we’ve seen the car we’ll give you an honest timescale.
