Car Diagnostics in Gatwick, Horsham and West Sussex |
Located in Crawley

Car diagnostics is a process where Total Mobile Mechanics plugs a Snap-On code reader into the port of your ECU to retrieve stored fault codes. These codes tell us exactly where the issue lies with your car and help us to make a faster recommendation on repair work than mechanical troubleshooting.

On completion of repair work, we clear car error codes to turn off dashboard warning lights. We also use vehicle diagnostics to reset service lights.

Engine management services can cover the following:

•  Adjustment of Brake Calipers

•  Engine Running Issues

•  Fuel Injection Systems

•  Steering Components

•  Wheel Alignment

•  Headlight and Brake Lights

When you notice a dashboard warning light is on, book in for car diagnostics with Total Mobile Mechanics. Fault codes arise under specific conditions and criteria. A skilled technician will check for these conditions and criteria before writing up a quotation for any proposed repair work on your vehicle.
