Modern cars have become very complex, containing on-board computers or modules that control and monitor things like emissions levels, engine performance and even windscreen wipers. When things go wrong, you may see a warning light on your dashboard, but these only give a small part of a bigger picture.
Using the latest diagnostic equipment we can pick up on these errors and identify what they mean, so component failures can be prevented before they lead to further damage or expensive repairs.
NOT ALL WORKSHOPS ARE THE SAME
Most are generalist repairers with limited resources and training. If your workshop choice is limited to “plugging in their computer” to see what the problem is and telling you the “computer said it was X,Y or Z” it’s time to look elsewhere as this will likely mean they’ll waste a lot of your money by throwing multiple parts at the problem until it’s either fixed or you run out of money.
EXPERTISE SAVES YOU MONEY
We focus heavily on diagnostics. What this means is that our expertise, skill, knowledge, training and resources can be applied to your problem to solve it in the quickest and most cost effective manner.
OUR REPAIR SOLUTIONS INC:
• Engine management – Not only can we read and interpret fault codes, we can also program powetrain control modules, program new injectors and diesel pumps, reflash the powertrain control module to the latest calibration files and carry out basic settings on other components including EGRs, throttle bodies and many more.
• Airbag system / SRS Supplemental Restraint System – We can repair SRS control modules, program and configure new SRS control modules, supply and fit new airbags and pretensioners and reset SRS systems after repairs.
• ABS / Traction & Stability Control Systems – We can repair ABS control modules, program and configure new ABS control modules and repair any ABS sensor faults.
• Diesel Particulate Filter / EGR systems – We can carry out forced regenerations, diagnose faulty systems and also carry out off vehicle cleaning of the DPF, which can in a lot of cases save the DPF having to be replaced and avoiding an expensive repair bill.
The check engine light is one of the most misunderstood warnings your vehicle can give you. When a module or computer finds a problem in the electronic-control system that it can’t correct, the computer turns on a yellow warning indicator that’s labeled “check engine,” “service engine soon,” or “check powertrain.” In addition to turning on the light, the computer stores a “trouble code” in its memory that identifies the source of the problem, such as a malfunctioning sensor or a misfiring engine.
If the “check engine” light illuminates you should have the cause diagnosed as soon as possible. The light could mean many different things and by ignoring the warning, you could end up damaging expensive components.
