Find out what’s causing the problem
A warning light or running problem doesn’t always tell you which part needs attention. We use diagnostic equipment alongside checks of your vehicle to investigate the cause and explain what we find.
You’ll get clear advice on the next step, including whether further testing or repairs are needed. Any additional work is discussed and agreed with you first.
We can investigate
- Engine warning lights
- Starting problems
- Rough running and misfires
- Loss of power
- Fault codes and recurring warnings

What happens during a diagnostic check?
A fault code is a starting point, not always the full answer. We use diagnostic equipment alongside checks of your vehicle to investigate what’s causing the problem.
-
Tell us what you’ve noticed
We’ll ask about warning lights, starting problems or changes in how your vehicle drives, including when the issue occurs.
-
Investigate the fault
We read relevant fault codes and live vehicle data, then carry out checks to help identify the cause. Some faults may need further testing.
-
Understand your options
We explain our findings and recommend the next step. Any further testing or repairs are discussed and priced before you agree to proceed.

Your diagnostics questions answered
What to expect when arranging a diagnostic check for your vehicle.
What does a diagnostic check involve?
We ask about the symptoms, connect diagnostic equipment to your vehicle and examine relevant fault codes and live data. Alongside vehicle checks, this helps us investigate the cause and advise on the next step.
Does a fault code tell you exactly what needs replacing?
Not necessarily. A fault code can identify a system or reading that needs investigation, but it does not always mean a particular component has failed. Further checks may be needed before recommending a repair.
Can you carry out diagnostics at my home or workplace?
Yes, provided the vehicle is in a suitable location with safe access and enough space to work. We’ll confirm the arrangements when booking. If the investigation needs workshop equipment, we’ll explain the options at Milton Green Garage.
Can you help if my vehicle won’t start?
Yes. Tell us what happens when you try to start it, including any clicking sounds, dashboard lights or whether the engine turns over. We’ll use that information to plan the appropriate checks and confirm availability for a visit.
Can you investigate a problem without a warning light?
Yes. Starting problems, rough running or a loss of power can occur without a dashboard warning. Describe what you’ve noticed and when it happens. We’ll advise on the checks that may help, including whether a workshop visit is needed.
How much does a diagnostic check cost?
Contact us with your vehicle registration and a description of the problem. We’ll confirm the diagnostic charge and what it covers before booking. Any further testing or repairs will be discussed and priced separately before you agree to proceed.
How long will it take to find the fault?
This depends on the symptoms and how easily the fault can be reproduced. Some problems are straightforward to investigate; intermittent or more complex faults may need additional testing. We’ll explain the scope of the initial check and keep you informed of our findings.
Can you repair the problem during the same visit?
Sometimes, depending on the fault, parts required and time available. If a repair can be completed at your location, we’ll explain the work and price first. Otherwise, we’ll discuss a return visit or workshop arrangements.
