Diagnostics & Electrical
Professional Vehicle Diagnostics & Electrical Fault Finding
Modern vehicles rely on increasingly complex electronic and electrical systems. When a warning light appears, a vehicle develops an intermittent fault or refuses to start, accurate diagnosis is essential.
At Snikrep Autocare, we use professional diagnostic equipment and a systematic approach to identify faults on cars and vans. Rather than simply replacing parts and hoping for the best, we aim to establish the cause of the problem before recommending repairs.
Based in Sileby, we provide vehicle diagnostics and electrical fault finding for customers throughout Loughborough and the surrounding Leicestershire area.
Vehicle Diagnostics
We can diagnose a wide range of vehicle faults, including:
Engine management faults
Warning lights
ABS faults
Airbag/SRS faults
Transmission and gearbox faults
Body control module faults
Electronic parking brake faults
DPF and emissions-related faults
AdBlue and SCR system faults
Sensor and actuator faults
Intermittent faults
Communication faults between control modules
A diagnostic trouble code is only the starting point. Our diagnostic process involves interpreting fault codes alongside live data, system operation and other available information to help determine the underlying cause.
Warning Light Diagnosis
A warning light doesn't always mean an expensive repair is required, but it shouldn't be ignored.
Whether your vehicle has an engine management, ABS, airbag, battery, DPF or other warning light, we can carry out diagnostic testing to establish what has caused the fault.
We'll explain our findings clearly and advise you on the appropriate repair.
Starting & Charging System Diagnosis
Having trouble starting your vehicle?
We can investigate faults involving:
Batteries
Alternators
Starter motors
Battery management systems
Charging systems
Starting circuits
Electrical connections
Excessive battery drain
A vehicle that won't start isn't necessarily a failed battery. Proper testing can help determine whether the problem is with the battery, charging system, starter or another electrical component.
Diagnostic Testing & Fault Finding
Diagnostic Testing from £60
Our standard diagnostic fee is £60 and covers one hour of diagnostic testing and fault-finding.
We’ll investigate the reported fault using professional diagnostic equipment and, where appropriate, live data analysis and additional testing to help identify the underlying cause.
If further diagnostic time is required after the initial one hour, additional hours will be charged at our standard hourly labour rate of £55 per hour. We will discuss any further diagnostic work and associated costs with you before continuing.
Please note that the initial diagnostic fee does not guarantee that a fault will be conclusively identified within the first hour, as some faults can require more extensive testing or investigation.
Honest Diagnosis. Clear Advice.
We believe diagnostics should be about finding the cause of the problem, not simply clearing fault codes or replacing parts unnecessarily.
Once we've investigated the fault, we'll explain what we've found and discuss the repair options with you before carrying out any additional work.
