Diagnostic - Indetech

Engine management lights can come on at any time and can be the result of a number of possible faults ranging from the most common to the more obscure associated with vehicles from the Volkswagen Audi Group.

Therefore, in order to provide the best possible service, we have invested heavily in diagnostic equipment and training to keep pace with developments in car design and thereby providing the technician with the expertise to find and correct the fault(s).

Any rectification work required will be quoted for and permission sought from our customer before any work is undertaken.
