What Is a Diagnostic Check?
A diagnostic check involves connecting your vehicle to specialist equipment that reads fault codes from its onboard computer system. These codes help us pinpoint issues with components such as:
- Engine performance
- Transmission systems
- Braking and ABS
- Airbags and safety systems
- Electrical faults and sensors
Once we’ve identified the fault, we’ll explain it clearly and advise on the best course of action. We don’t believe in guesswork or unnecessary repairs — just honest, accurate advice based on real data.
When Should You Book a Diagnostic Check?
If your vehicle is showing a warning light, running poorly, or making unusual noises, a diagnostic check can quickly identify the root cause. Modern cars rely on complex electronic systems, and faults aren’t always visible or easy to detect without specialist equipment. A diagnostic check helps pinpoint issues early — saving you time, money, and preventing further damage. It’s an essential first step in ensuring your car stays safe, reliable, and roadworthy.
