Accurate Fault Finding, Fast Resolution

Advanced Vehicle Diagnostics and Warning Light Specialists

Modern vehicles are complex, relying on sophisticated onboard computer systems (ECUs) to monitor everything from engine performance and ABS brakes to airbags and electrics. When a warning light illuminates on your dashboard—whether it’s the ‘Check Engine’ light or another symbol—it means your car has stored a specific error code. 

At Bassaguard Garage, we use dealer-level diagnostic equipment to accurately read and interpret these fault codes.

This eliminates guesswork, ensuring we fix the right component the first time, saving you time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions

You should book a diagnostic check immediately if any warning light on your dashboard, such as the 'Check Engine' light, illuminates, or if you notice unexplained changes in performance, such as rough idling, poor fuel economy, or unusual sounds.

Our advanced equipment at Bassaguard Garage allows us to check all major systems, including the engine management (powertrain), ABS/Traction Control (chassis), airbags (body), and various vehicle sensors and electronic components.

Yes, but it is dangerous and pointless. We only clear error codes after the underlying problem has been identified and correctly repaired. Simply resetting the code without fixing the cause will likely result in the warning light reappearing, or worse, cause further, more serious damage to your vehicle.

The initial connection and reading of the fault codes is fast. However, the time required for a full diagnostic check can vary depending on the complexity of the issue. We always provide an honest assessment of the time needed and an estimate for any necessary repairs before proceeding with the work.
