CAR DIAGNOSTICS
CANBERRA.
Check engine light on, or the car just doesn't feel right on the drive in from Belconnen? We plug in, read the actual fault codes, and explain what's really going on before quoting a fix.
Also need tyres? Browse our tyre range or see all workshop services.
Call to book, same-day a diagnostic scan is often available.
Signs it's time for a diagnostic scan.
Check engine or warning light on
Steady or flashing, any dash warning light deserves a proper scan rather than guessing.
Loss of power or rough idle
Hesitation pulling away from the lights on Northbourne Avenue or a rough idle at the servo often points to a sensor or ignition fault.
Failed to pass a pre-purchase check
If a used car you're considering threw a code, we can tell you exactly what it means before you commit.
Intermittent stalling or misfire
Faults that come and go, especially in cold Canberra mornings, still leave a trace in the computer's fault memory.
Everything included, no surprises.
Full Computer Scan
Diagnostic equipment reads fault codes across engine, transmission and other relevant modules.
Fee Credited
If you proceed with the repair, your diagnostic fee comes off the total job.
Fast Turnaround
Most scans and explanations are done within the hour.
Physical Verification
We confirm what the codes are telling us with hands-on checks before quoting a fix.
Written Quotes
Clear, itemised quote for any recommended repair before we proceed.
Plain-English Reports
You leave knowing exactly what's wrong and why, no jargon.

Canberra locals rate us 5.0 out of 5
"Booked a set of four tyres online and dropped the car off on my way to work. Ready by lunchtime, balanced perfectly and the price matched the quote exactly."
"Had a slow leak that turned out to be a nail in the sidewall. They were upfront that it couldn’t be repaired and had a replacement tyre fitted within the hour."
"Logbook service done properly, stamped and everything, for a lot less than the dealership quoted. Will be bringing both our cars here from now on."
"Steering was pulling to the left after some suspension work elsewhere. Wheel alignment fixed it completely, and they showed me the before and after printout."
"Punctured a tyre on the Federal Highway. Called ahead, they had it repaired the same afternoon and even checked the tread on the other three at no extra cost."
"Vibration through the wheel at highway speed turned out to be a balancing issue. Sorted in under 40 minutes and hasn’t come back since."

Every scan comes with a plain-English explanation, not just a code number, and a written quote if repair work is needed.
