About this work in detail
A fault code is not a fault. It is a record that a control unit saw a value outside the expected range. The same code can come from a sensor, a wire, a connector, or from the component the code appears to blame. The most expensive mistake in motoring is replacing the part named in the code.
So we read the codes and then we measure. The difference is that the code tells you where to look and the measurement tells you what is broken. That takes time, and time is what we charge for, because time is what the work costs.
Book a diagnostic when a warning light is on, when the car does not start properly, when there is a noise from underneath, when consumption has risen with no explanation, or when something simply feels different. Tell us everything you have noticed, including what seems irrelevant. When the fault appears is often more useful than what it sounds like.
An intermittent fault is the hardest to find and does not always show itself the first time. We say so plainly when that is the case, and we do not guess. Nor do we replace parts experimentally at your expense.
You can come in for a diagnostic without booking. A booked slot gets you seen sooner, but if the warning light came on today, come in.
If something else needs fixing
We do not start work you do not know about. If the car needs something else fixed, we call and tell you what the extra work costs and what happens if it is left undone. You decide.
A fixed price does not change without your permission. The one exception: if we cannot reach you within a reasonable time, we may do minor and necessary additional work worth up to 150 €.
We work to the motor vehicle service and repair terms approved by the consumer advisory board of the Finnish motor trade.
Shall we agree a time?
Leave a booking request online or call. We confirm the time and tell you the price before any work starts.
