Warning light on the dash? Engine down on power, using more fuel than it should, or misbehaving only now and then? A proper diagnostic check reads the fault codes stored in your car’s control units and finds the cause — so you fix the problem, not just the symptom.

Dealer-level diagnostics, not a generic code reader
Cheap code readers only scratch the surface. We run dealer-level diagnostic equipment for Porsche and the VW Group — VW (including Transporters and other commercials), Audi, SEAT and Skoda — with access to every control module in the car, guided fault-finding and live data logging. Diagnosis is fast and accurate, and we’ll explain what we found and what it costs to put right before any work starts.
Driving something else? We diagnose all makes of car and van too.
What we can track down
Engine management lights, airbag warnings, ABS faults, intermittent electrical gremlins, and faults other garages couldn’t pin down. Live data logging lets us catch problems that only show up while the car is being driven.
Coding, adaption and resets
Diagnostics is about more than fault codes. We also handle key matching and coding, module replacement and installation coding, instrument cluster swaps, and service reminder resets for both fixed and flexible (long-life) intervals. See our retrofitting page for coding new factory options onto your car.
Vehicle diagnostics FAQs
Can you just turn my engine management light off?
We can clear codes — but a light that comes back means the fault is still there. We’d rather read the codes, find the cause and give you an honest picture first. Sometimes it’s minor; better to know.
Do I have to go to a main dealer for diagnostics?
No. Our equipment works at the same depth as a franchised dealer’s for Porsche and VAG vehicles — module-level access, coding and adaption included — without dealer pricing.
My fault is intermittent. Can you still find it?
Usually, yes. Stored fault codes plus live data logging catch most intermittent problems. Tell us when and how it happens — every detail helps.
