A warning light on its own doesn't tell you much. Russ uses advanced diagnostic equipment to read the fault codes, then does the part that matters: working out why the code is there, so you're not paying to swap parts until the light goes out.
We can help with
- Engine management, glow plug, ABS and airbag warning lights
- Limp mode and loss of power
- Faults that come and go
- DPF warnings (see DPF regeneration)
- Rough running, misfires and poor starting
Why dealer training helps
Russ is VW and Ford main dealer trained, with 11 years of Volkswagen dealership training. That's especially useful on VW, Audi, SEAT, Skoda and Ford, where many faults are well known, but the same careful approach works on every make.
What happens next
We'll tell you what we found, what it will cost to fix and how urgent it is. If it can wait, we'll say so.
Stuck somewhere?
Our work is done at the unit in Newton Abbot, but if you're stuck we've been known to come out to you. One customer's car went into limp mode on her way to a week's holiday. We went out to her at around 9.30pm, cleared the fault temporarily so she could get the car to us the next day, then found and fixed it that same day. We can't promise a callout every time, so give Russ a ring and we'll see what we can do.
“I can honestly say this garage gave me the best customer service I have ever had. I was 23 miles outside Brixham on my way for a weeks holiday when my car went into limp mode. I got to where I was going and then tried many garages that either couldn’t do anything to help or didn’t appear to want to. I put a post on Spotted Paignton and these guys not only answered me but came out around 9.30pm that night to check car. They cleared the fault temporarily so I could get it to them the next day. Fault was located and repaired the same day and for a very reasonable price. Can’t sing their praises enough. Friendly, quick repair and reasonable. They honestly couldn’t do enough to help. Absolutely brilliant. What’s not to love ?? Highly recommend. Please give these guys a try you won’t be disappointed”
Questions we get asked
Can I keep driving with the engine light on?
If the light is flashing, the car is in limp mode or it's driving badly, stop and call us. If it's on steady and the car feels normal, get it checked soon rather than leaving it.
Will you just clear the code?
Only if you ask us to. Clearing a code doesn't fix the problem, so we'll find the cause first.
