Diagnostics & Fault Finding

Mobile Car Diagnostics & Fault Finding

A warning lamp or unusual running problem can have several causes. Reading a stored fault code is a useful starting point, but it is not always a complete diagnosis.

A diagnostic visit may involve discussing symptoms, scanning relevant control units and performing appropriate further checks. Complex electronic faults can require specialist equipment or workshop testing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to provide my registration?

Yes. It helps confirm the correct engine, parts and relevant repair instructions before the quote is finalised.

Can the work be completed at my home?

Potentially, subject to safe parking, access, the vehicle condition and equipment needed. Some work requires workshop facilities.

Can I book without a fixed online price?

This is currently a website prototype. Work requiring specific parts, vehicle details or workshop assessment will need a confirmed quotation before any binding booking.

Where can the technician work?

A suitable driveway or permitted private car park is preferred where safe. Street work is subject to access and safe working conditions.

What does the £50 deposit mean?

A proposed future £50 booking deposit would be included within—not added to—the agreed service quotation. The live deposit and cancellation rules are pending review and implementation.

Quotation and appointment status
