Diagnostics

Worrying warning lights on your dashboard? Let us quickly identify the problem and stop costly component failures.

All modern vehicles today contain an on-board computer known as an Engine Control Unit (ECU) which continually monitors the performance of the vehicle. Sensors all around the vehicle report back to the ECU if there are problems such as low fluid levels or increased engine temperature. When things go wrong, these computers produce error codes which can only be read with vehicle diagnostics equipment. There are literally hundreds of potential error codes that can only be read by specialist vehicle diagnostic equipment. While a warning light may display on the dashboard alerting you to an issue, a diagnostics check is required to understand the full extent and cause of the problem.

We use state-of-the-art car diagnostic test equipment and our high-level technical training means we can make sense of baffling fault codes and advise on any necessary repairs, so component failures can be prevented before they lead to further damage or expensive repairs. Our fully-trained technicians can then suggest any necessary repairs to get you back on the road and rectify the error. Next time a dashboard warning light appears in your car, don’t pay vehicle dealership prices for your diagnostics check, call into us here at Threeways garage for a low-cost diagnosis while you wait.
