What are the signs?

  • The check-engine light is on and steady.
  • The light is flashing. That usually means a misfire: drive gently and get it checked soon.
  • Rough idle, stalling, hesitation or worse fuel mileage.
  • A smell of fuel or rotten eggs.
  • A noise, vibration or smell you can’t place.

What we do

  1. 01Read the codes, then test to find the cause, not just the part a code points at.
  2. 02Explain what we found in plain words, with photos or a short video.
  3. 03Quote the fix and tell you what’s urgent and what can wait.
  4. 04Clear the code and confirm the fix on a test drive.

Good questions

Can’t a parts store read my code for free?

They can, and it’s a good start. But a code tells you which system has a fault, not which part failed. Testing finds the cause, so you don’t pay for parts you didn’t need.

Is it safe to drive?

With a steady light, usually for a short while: book a check soon. With a flashing light, drive gently and call us.
