Before you book
Helpful answers about this service.
Does a fault code identify the failed part?+
Not always. A code identifies a system or condition and is normally a starting point for relevant checks, symptoms and diagnostic reasoning.
Can you clear warning lights?+
Codes may be cleared when appropriate, but clearing a code does not repair the cause. We explain the findings and recommended next step.
Can every vehicle system be scanned?+
Coverage depends on the vehicle, system, communication and available diagnostic functions. We explain the information that can be accessed at the appointment.
Where can mobile diagnostics be completed?+
At an agreed safe location with vehicle access and enough time to reproduce or assess the reported concern where possible.
