Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a vehicle diagnostic test, and why is it important?

    A vehicle diagnostic test is a process that uses advanced computerised tools to scan a car’s internal systems for faults or malfunctions. Modern vehicles have onboard computers that monitor components like the engine, transmission, brakes, exhaust and electrical systems. When something goes wrong, error codes are stored in the system and a diagnostic test reads these codes to identify the issue. Regular diagnostics help detect hidden problems before they lead to major breakdowns, saving time and costly repairs. If your check engine light is on, your car is running poorly, or you’re experiencing performance issues, a diagnostic test can pinpoint the exact cause.

  • What issues can a vehicle diagnostic test detect?

    A diagnostic test can detect a wide range of engine and system faults, including:


    - Engine misfires and performance issues

    - Faulty oxygen sensors or emission problems

    - Transmission faults affecting shifting and acceleration

    - Fuel system inefficiencies that reduce fuel economy

    - Electrical and wiring problems, including battery and alternator issues

    - Brake system errors, including ABS malfunctions

  • What warning lights on my dashboard should I never ignore?

    Some dashboard warning lights indicate minor issues, but others signal serious problems that need immediate attention.


    The most critical lights to watch for include:


    - Check Engine Light – Can indicate anything from a minor sensor issue to a major engine problem.

    - Brake Warning Light – May signal low brake fluid, worn-out brake pads, or a more serious braking system failure.

    - Battery Light – Often points to an alternator or charging system problem that could leave you stranded.

    - Oil Pressure Light – A sign of low oil levels or oil circulation problems that can cause engine damage.

    - Coolant Temperature Light – Indicates overheating, which can lead to severe engine failure.


    If any of these lights appear, a diagnostic check is essential to identify the cause before it leads to expensive repairs or breakdowns.
