diagnostics Ipswich

Warning light on? Battery going flat overnight? Something that only plays up on a hot day? We trace electrical faults to the actual cause instead of swapping parts and hoping.

Diagnostics & Fault Finding

What we do

Modern vehicles are full of computers, sensors and kilometres of wiring — and intermittent electrical faults are the ones that frustrate people most. We use manufacturer-level scan tools, wiring diagrams and good old-fashioned testing to find the fault, then quote the repair before we touch anything.

  • Check engine, ABS, airbag and other warning lights
  • No-start and intermittent starting problems
  • Flat batteries and parasitic drain testing
  • Wiring repairs, chafed looms and rodent damage
  • Electric windows, mirrors, central locking and door locks
  • Lighting faults — headlights, indicators, tail lights and trailer circuits
  • Gauges, dash clusters, sensors and body control faults
  • Pre-purchase and roadworthy electrical checks

Sound familiar?

  • A warning light that comes and goes
  • Battery flat in the morning but charges fine
  • Fuses that keep blowing
  • Accessories, windows or locks that stopped working
  • Car cranks but won't start, or clicks
  • Lights dimming or flickering

Common questions

How much does a diagnostic cost?

We charge for diagnostic time so we can do it properly. Call and we'll explain what's involved for your symptom. If you go ahead with the repair, the diagnosis has already told us exactly what to fix — no guesswork, no wasted parts.

Can you fix my car if the dealer couldn't find the fault?

Often, yes. Intermittent faults are our bread and butter. Bring it in with as much detail as you can about when it happens.

Do you do mechanical repairs too?

We handle general auto electrical and light mechanical work related to electrical systems. For engine and gearbox work we can point you to workshops we trust.
