Many people think that plugging in a scan tool and retrieving error codes is the same as diagnosing a vehicle's issue -but there's a big difference.
Scanning for Codes: A basic scan tool reads the vehicle's onboard diagnostics (OBD) and retrieves stored trouble codes (DTC’s). These codes can give a general idea of where a problem might be, but they don't tell you exactly what's wrong or why it's happening.
Think of it like a check engine light-it alerts you that something is wrong, but it doesn't pinpoint the exact cause.
True Diagnosis: A real diagnosis goes beyond reading codes. It involves testing components, analysing data, and verifying the root cause of the problem. Just because a code points to a sensor, for example, doesn't mean the sensor is faulty-it could be a wiring issue, a software problem, or something else entirely.
Proper diagnosis ensures the actual problem is fixed, not just the symptom.
We don't just read codes -we find solutions.
Our expert technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and in-depth troubleshooting methods to identify the real issue, saving you time, money, and frustration by getting the job done right the first time.
Let us help you keep your vehicle running smoothly with accurate, professional diagnostics.
Once we’ve diagnosed the issue with your vehicle, we’ll outline a clear repair plan and explain any components that need to be replaced along with a detailed estimate for you to review and approve before any work begins.
In some cases, particularly with complex electrical or performance systems - repairs may involve a multi-step troubleshooting process. This means we may need to replace a clearly faulty component first, then retest the system to ensure everything is functioning as it should.
Occasionally, this process reveals additional faults that were previously hidden or couldn’t be accurately tested until the initial issue is resolved. Whenever possible, we’ll make you aware of this possibility before starting the repair, so you know what to expect.
We believe in transparent communication every step of the way. We’ll always keep you informed, explain our findings, and only proceed with further repairs once you’ve approved the next step.
A battery health check is an essential part of maintaining your electric or hybrid vehicle’s performance, safety, and longevity.
we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess the condition and performance of your high-voltage battery and related systems.
Our Battery Health Check Includes:
State of Health (SOH) Report– Measures the battery's overall condition and capacity compared to new.
Voltage and Cell Balance Check– Ensures all battery cells are working evenly, avoiding premature wear or failure.
Thermal Management Inspection– Checks cooling/heating systems that regulate battery temperature.
Charging System Test – Verifies charging performance and efficiency.
Battery Management System (BMS) Scan – Reads fault codes, software status, and internal data.
Visual Inspection – Examines battery housing, connectors, and high-voltage cabling for signs of wear or damage.
Catch early signs of battery degradation
Identify issues before they become costly problems.
Avoid unexpected range loss or charging issues
Stay on top of performance and reliability - no surprises.
Extend the life of your EV or hybrid battery
Proper monitoring and maintenance means long-term savings.
Drive with confidence
Know your high-voltage system is safe, healthy, and running at peak efficiency.
Modern vehicles are packed with electronics and computers that help everything run smoothly, safely, and efficiently. Three important components that often come up when diagnosing or repairing a vehicle are the ECU, PCM, and TCM.
ECU (Engine Control Unit)
The ECU is often called the “brain” of the engine.
It monitors and controls how the engine operates to make sure it runs efficiently and safely. It does this by constantly receiving information from sensors in the engine and adjusting things like:
If something isn’t right - like a sensor is giving a bad reading or something in the engine isn’t performing properly - the ECU can trigger a warning light on your dashboard (like the Check Engine Light) and store fault codes that help technicians diagnose the issue.
TCM (Transmission Control Module)
The TCM is in charge of the transmission—which is the part of your vehicle that changes gears as you drive.
In automatic vehicles especially, the TCM decides when to shift gears based on things like:
It ensures your car shifts smoothly, gets good fuel economy, and protects the transmission from damage. If there's a transmission-related issue, the TCM may cause the vehicle to go into “limp mode” to prevent further damage.
PCM (Powertrain Control Module)
The PCM is a combination of both the ECU and TCM in a single unit.
In many modern vehicles, instead of having separate ECUs and TCMs, manufacturers combine their functions into one PCM to save space and improve communication between the engine and transmission.
a PCM controls both:
It’s essentially the central computer for the vehicle's powertrain, which includes everything that makes the car move.
we specialize in diagnosing and repairing these critical systems. Whether your vehicle has an ECU, TCM, or PCM, we’ve got the tools and experience to get it sorted quickly and correctly.
If your car is running rough, shifting strangely, or showing warning lights, don’t wait—get in touch with us today for a professional diagnosis.
