What is a Car Diagnostic Check?

A diagnostic check is an examination of your vehicle’s electronic systems. Modern cars are equipped with onboard computers that monitor and control various functions. When something goes wrong, the system will often generate error codes, which trigger dashboard warning lights. During a diagnostic check, we connect your car to our stet-of-the-art equipment to read these error codes and pinpoint the exact issue. This allows us to identify problems quickly and accurately, so we can recommend the necessary repairs.

When Should You Book Car Diagnostics?

A diagnostic check in Gateshead is recommended if you experience any of the following:

  • Warning Lights: If any warning lights appear on your dashboard, such as the check engine light, ABS light or airbag light, a diagnostic check can determine the underlying cause.
  • Strange Noises: Unusual sounds, such as knocking, ticking, or grinding, can indicate an issue that needs attention.
  • Poor Performance: If your vehicle is struggling with acceleration, idling rough, or using more fuel than usual, a diagnostic check can help identify the problem.
  • Unusual Smells: If you can smell fuel, burning or another odd odour in the cabin, it may be a sign of a malfunction that needs diagnosing.
