Vehicle Diagnostics
in Twyford, Wokingham and Surrounding Areas

If you have noticed a dashboard warning light and can’t identify it through your handbook, your engine management system is pointing out a faulty component. Most faults are easy to spot but components in the electrical subsystem are often hidden. Shurlock Row Garage can undertake vehicle diagnostics using branded state-of-the-art equipment. 

This equipment plugs into your engine control unit (ECU) to retrieve stored fault codes which pinpoint the issue.

Located in Wokingham, we offer diagnostic testing and engine management services to motorists in Twyford and the Berkshire area. We also carry out air conditioning diagnostic services so please contact us to book in your vehicle today.

The Benefits of Vehicle Diagnostics

Vehicle diagnostics is a method used to identify system and component issues in the engine management system. Sensors relay information to the ECU. When components fail, the sensor won’t receive the correct signal and a dashboard warning light comes on. Our team at Shurlock Row Garage extracts fault codes, cross-references them and uses the information we gather to recommend a suitable repair.
  • Our technicians will diagnose faults sooner using vehicle diagnostics than they can with mechanical troubleshooting

  • Some faults do not affect driveability. Without professional diagnostics, a driver may not notice the fault at all

  • Diagnostic testing allows us to replace worn parts before they lead to a breakdown or cause more extensive damage

Finding Faults Accurately with Vehicle Diagnostics

Vehicle diagnostics give a technician a full perspective of what may be causing engine issues or dashboard warning lights to appear. Diagnostic testing may lead us to check the fuel supply and the air filters. We monitor readings from within the combustion system to locate issues with these areas.

We also diagnose the electrical system and may end up checking the battery, starter motor, alternator and power steering pump. Diagnostic information from the ignition system provides accurate results. Sensors monitor and store information from when the key goes into the ignition to when it is taken out. 

Vehicle diagnostics can also cover transmission, ABS braking systems and the functionality of airbags. 

Diagnostic testing and engine management give our technical team at Shurlock Row Garage an insight into your car’s electrical subsystem without us having to perform a mechanical investigation or remove other parts to source the problem. This means we can now identify an issue much sooner, and this saves our Wokingham, Twyford and Berkshire customers money on repair costs.
