What the service includes
Everything is done on the spot, cleanly.
An engine warning light doesn't mean 'serious breakdown', but ignoring it can be costly. Rather than guessing, the mechanic plugs a multi-brand diagnostic tool into your car's OBD socket, reads the fault codes from every control unit and explains without jargon what's wrong, what's urgent and what can wait. The cost of the diagnosis is deducted if you let us do the repair.

- A new noise or behaviour you can't pin down.
- Before buying a used car: diagnostics reveal hidden faults.
Frequently asked questions
Do you read all makes?
Yes, the tool is multi-brand and reads every ECU (engine, ABS, airbag, gearbox…), not just the engine. We cover almost all European and Asian cars.
Is diagnostics enough to fix the problem?
It identifies the area at fault and guides the repair. Sometimes the code is unambiguous, sometimes an extra check is needed — either way we explain the next steps clearly before committing to anything.
Is the diagnostics price deducted?
Yes: if you let us do the resulting repair, the cost of the diagnosis is deducted. You don't pay twice.
Useful before buying a used car?
Very. Diagnostics on the car you're eyeing reveal stored faults and limp modes that a test drive won't show. It's peace of mind before you sign.
