A1 Autocentre - Car Diagnostic Testing

Engine Diagnostics – Dagenham’s Premier Garage for Finding the Problem

A1 Autocentre has the best diagnostic equipment available and we charge fair prices to find your fault. A diagnostic test is needed when a warning light flashes on your dashboard. This can be caused by a number of different reasons and a diagnostic check is needed to find out exactly what is wrong. You can search online or in your car’s manual to find out what the warning light is, but an expert needs to properly diagnose the problem.

When you have a warning light or notice your car isn’t working correctly, you shouldn’t ignore it. You should see a technician as soon as you can to try and avoid the issue getting worse and becoming even more expensive. When you visit A1 Autocentre for a diagnostic test, we’ll connect your car’s engine control unit (ECU) to our machine in order to test for any faults. The ECU is essentially your car’s brain and is connected to various parts of your vehicle. When something goes wrong with a component, the ECU will trigger a warning light to let you know there is a problem.

Our technicians can understand the thousands of fault codes thrown up by the testing equipment. They’ll analyse the code and investigate your car to find the problem and from there they can let you know how to fix it. We’ll give you a quote for the work and get your permission to start the work. Once we’ve carried out the repairs, we’ll re-test the car and reset the warning light so that it goes off.

Diagnosis While You Wait

The diagnostic test should take around 20 minutes to do and then we’ll need to do a physical inspection of the vehicle. This can all be done while you wait and our technicians will be extremely thorough when trying to find the fault. When we give you the quote for the repair work, we’ll work with you to find a suitable time depending on how urgent the repair is needed. We can offer a collection and delivery service to our local customers if you can’t get the time to drop your car off.
