Dashboard light on?
We'll find it.

A no-cost visual check of brakes, tyres, lights, fluid levels and battery health when added to paid work. A standalone mobile visit is charged at the minimum visit rate.

We plug into your car's diagnostic socket, read every stored fault code and tell you in plain English what has triggered the light. The right first step when a warning light appears and you do not know why.

Our own step-by-step investigation for problems that do not show a clean fault code, combining scan data, physical testing and a road test. You get a written diagnosis and a fixed quote before any repair starts.

We come to where the car is and work through the three usual culprits in order: battery and charging, starting system, then fuel and ignition. You get a clear answer and a price before we go any further.

A deeper scan across every control module in the car, not just the engine, with live data recorded while the fault happens. Use this when a basic scan came back clean but the problem is still there.

Road test and inspection to pin down where a noise is actually coming from, because a hum from a wheel bearing and a hum from a tyre sound almost identical. We tell you the part, not just the area.

A puddle under the car could be oil, coolant, brake fluid, fuel or just air-con condensation, and they are wildly different repairs. We identify the fluid, trace it to its source and price the fix.

An airbag light is an automatic MOT failure and means your airbags may not deploy in a crash. We read the SRS-specific codes, find the fault and tell you exactly what needs replacing.

We inspect a car you are thinking of buying, at the seller's address, before you hand over any money. Covers mechanical condition, fault codes, accident-damage signs, service history and a road test.

A structured 50-point inspection of every major system with a written, photographed report. Popular before a long trip, before selling, or when you have just bought a car and want to know where you stand.

Tests the battery under load and checks that the alternator is actually charging it, which are two different faults with two different prices. Stops you buying a battery when the alternator is the problem.

A broader diagnostic scan intended to inspect additional vehicle systems and live data where the selected vehicle and available equipment support it.

Cameras and radar for lane assist, adaptive cruise and automatic braking must be recalibrated after a windscreen change, an alignment or a front-end repair, and this is done at our garage on a calibration rig. Skipping it leaves safety systems aiming at the wrong place.

Many replacement parts have to be electronically introduced to the car before they work, including batteries, injectors, DPFs, throttle bodies and body modules. Book this if you or another garage fitted a part and the car has not accepted it.

A chemical test of the coolant for combustion gases, which confirms or rules out a blown head gasket before you commit to a very expensive repair. Book this if you have white smoke, mayonnaise under the oil cap or coolant disappearing.

Measures how much fuel each injector returns to the tank, which identifies exactly which injector is failing rather than replacing all four. Book this for a rough-running, hard-starting or smoky diesel.

Pressurises the cooling system cold to find exactly where coolant is escaping, including leaks too small to see when hot. The right first step for a car that keeps needing coolant with no obvious puddle.

Where diagnostics point to the engine control unit itself rather than a sensor, we arrange repair or reprogramming of the unit. This is the endpoint after a diagnostic has ruled out the cheaper causes.

Reads the transmission control module, adaptation values and clutch wear data on an automatic or dual-clutch gearbox. Tells you whether a harsh or slipping change is electronic, fluid-related or mechanical.

Reset the service interval or oil-life indicator after work has been carried out. This clears the reminder only, it does not clear a genuine fault, and we will tell you if what you actually have is a fault.

Diagnoses immobiliser, alarm and remote-locking faults, including keys that have lost sync and cars that alarm for no reason. Tells you whether you need a repair, a re-sync or a new key.

Hybrids and EVs still have a small 12V battery, and when it fails the car will not wake up even though the main drive battery is full. A very common and very cheap fix that is often misdiagnosed as a major fault.

Resets an automatic gearbox's learned shift pressures and timings back to factory, then completes the drive cycle that teaches it again. Often fixes harsh or hunting changes after a fluid change or battery replacement.
