Amber
Check Engine
Engine Management. Indicates an emissions or sensor fault. Safe to drive to the garage, but get it checked soon.
No guesswork. No bill shock.
When your dashboard lights up, you deserve a calm, clear answer.
Warning lights are stressful — and it is easy to imagine the worst. We start with a fixed £30 diagnostic check so you know exactly what the initial assessment costs before we go any further.
Fixed diagnostic fee
£30
Covers our time to read codes, interpret them in context, and explain what they mean for your car — in plain English. If further work is needed, we will quote it honestly before anything extra is done.
- Transparent fault-finding — we show you what we find and what it means, not a vague list of scary words.
- Honest recommendations — we only suggest work that your vehicle actually needs.
