Your Questions, Answered
We connect your car to specialist diagnostic equipment that reads the fault codes stored by its onboard computer. Our technicians then interpret those codes, alongside live data, to pinpoint the true cause rather than replacing parts on guesswork.
Not always, but it should never be ignored. A warning light can flag anything from a minor sensor fault to a more serious issue. A quick diagnostic check tells you exactly what is wrong so you can act with confidence.
Reading the fault codes is quick, often under an hour. More involved investigation into wiring or intermittent faults can take longer, but we will keep you informed of the time and cost throughout.
Fault codes point us to the affected system, and our technicians take it from there with further testing to confirm the precise cause. This avoids the common trap of replacing parts that were never faulty.
Yes. Once the underlying problem is resolved we clear the stored codes and confirm the warning light stays off. If it returns, that tells us the fault has not been fully fixed, and we investigate further.
