GET A QUOTE We provide accurate car diagnostics from our garage in Rotherham. We use the latest technology to pick up fault codes and warning lights and can fix majority of car faults. We know how worrying and stressful it can be when those red and amber lights appear on your dashboard. Not knowing what the problem is means you don’t know how safe your car is to drive, and even if you can consult the manual, you’re not always able to fix the issue yourself. That’s why it always pays to get your vehicle checked over by an expert as soon as possible.
We use the most advanced diagnostic tools to accurately pinpoint where the issue lies. Once we’ve diagnosed a fault, we can give you a quote to get the work carried out, so you can get your wheels back as soon as possible. Whether it’s a complex electrical problem or something wrong with your engine, we can diagnose the problem with ease and efficiency.

Generally speaking, an engine diagnostic machine is plugged into the car’s computer. The computer returns a diagnostic code that can be used as a reference against a list of codes from the manufacturer. For instance, if the engine is in fine working order, then the device will say so or, alternatively, if there is a problem, a code (or several) will be displayed.
Codes can mean a whole host of things, and it is the mechanics job to determine what could be causing the code to be flagged up on the device, giving the vehicle owner some sort of idea about what it will cost to rectify.
If the light comes on and stays on, the OBD system has detected a problem. Your vehicle might have a condition that wastes fuel, shortens engine life, or causes excessive air pollution. If left unaddressed, these conditions could also damage your vehicle and lead to increasingly expensive repairs.
For example, OBD can identify a loose or missing gas cap (which wastes fuel and contributes to smog) or engine misfire (which can lead to severe or permanent engine damage)
Usually, nothing. If the problem that caused the light to come on is addressed, the OBD computer will turn the light off. This is not an indication of a faulty OBD system. In fact, the system is doing it's job by verifying that a problem temporarily existed but has since been corrected; perhaps a loose gas cap was tightened or a fouled spark plug was cleared. Your vehicle needs no special attention unless the light comes on again. However if you wish bring the car to us we can still inspect the car for you.
