Mobile Diagnostics in Bath
Main-dealer-level diagnostic equipment brought to your driveway to read warning lights and pinpoint the real fault.
A warning light on the dashboard can mean anything from a loose fuel cap to a serious engine fault, and guessing wrong wastes money. Our mobile technicians bring the same diagnostic equipment used by main dealers directly to your address in Bath, reading fault codes across the engine, ABS, airbag and other control units, then explaining in plain English what's actually wrong before any work is quoted.
When to book a diagnostic check
- The engine management or check engine light is on
- The car is idling roughly or has lost noticeable power
- An unusual noise or smell has appeared recently
- The car has gone into a reduced-power 'limp' mode
- You're buying a used car and want peace of mind first
What a warning light can point to
- A faulty or dirty sensor such as an oxygen or mass airflow sensor
- A wiring or connector fault caused by corrosion or damage
- An ignition coil or spark plug misfiring
- An emissions system component below tolerance
- A software or control-unit fault needing a reset or update
What to expect on the day
We connect a diagnostic scanner to read stored and live fault codes, cross-reference them against your car's specific systems, and carry out any further physical checks needed to confirm the real cause. You'll get a written explanation and a fixed quote for any repair before we proceed — there's no obligation to book further work.
Is it safe to keep driving?
A flashing engine light usually means stop as soon as it's safe — it signals a fault serious enough to risk damaging the engine or catalytic converter. A steady light is less urgent but still worth checking within a few days.
Frequently asked questions
We can clear a code if requested, but we'll always explain what caused it first — clearing without repairing usually means the light comes straight back.
