Warning light on: we tell you what it is, in plain English, before touching anything.

What's included

• Reading and clearing fault codes in every control unit: engine, ABS, airbag, gearbox, body.
• Live data (sensors, mixture, temperatures) to tell the cause from the symptom.
• Road test if the fault is intermittent or only appears at speed.
• The code explained in normal language, and what happens if it isn't fixed.
• Written repair quote, with original or equivalent parts to choose from.

When to book it

• Engine warning lightSteady or flashing. If it flashes, don't drive far: call us.
• Juddering or loss of powerEspecially when cold or accelerating uphill.
• Odd consumption or smokeWhite, blue or black each tell a different story.
• Hard startingEspecially if the car sits for days.
• Electrical faultsWindows, lights, a dashboard that goes dark: those show up in diagnostics too.

What to bring

The key and, if you can, the registration document. If the fault only appears when cold or only on the motorway, tell us when booking: it changes how we test. If the car won't move, let us know and we'll tell you whether a tow makes sense.
