A warning light on the dashboard, a car that runs rough or a fault that comes and goes can be hard to pin down. At Surrey Autotech in Old Woking we connect diagnostic equipment to your car, read the fault codes and then carry out the checks needed to find out what is actually causing the problem.

A fault code points to the area of the problem, not always to the part that has failed. That is why we confirm the cause before recommending any work, so you are not paying for parts you don't need. You get a clear explanation and a quote, and nothing is done without your OK.

Signs your car needs a diagnostic check

  • Engine management (check engine) light on
  • Airbag, ABS or traction control warning light on
  • Car running rough, hesitating or stalling
  • Loss of power or poor fuel economy
  • Car going into limp mode
  • A fault that appears and disappears

What we do

  • Read the fault codes stored in your car's computer
  • Carry out further checks to confirm the real cause, not just clear the code
  • Explain what we found in plain English
  • Quote the repair before any work starts
  • Check the fault has cleared once the repair is done

Diagnostics questions

How long does a diagnostic check take?+

It depends on the fault. Some are found quickly, while intermittent faults can take longer to track down. Call us on 01483 772461 and we'll tell you what to expect for your car.

Can you just clear the warning light?+

We can clear stored codes, but if the cause isn't fixed the light will usually come back. We find and fix the cause so the problem stays solved.

Is it safe to drive with a warning light on?+

It depends on the light. A red warning light, a flashing engine light, or any warning together with a loss of power or unusual noises or smells means you should stop safely and get the car checked. If you're unsure, call us before driving.
