Mobile Car Diagnostics

Mobile Mechanics Coventry carrying out a mobile car diagnostics check

At D&E Auto Repairs to You, for our mobile car diagnostics we carry a lot of electrical equipment to ensure as thorough a check of your vehicle as possible. We have a top of the range diagnostics computer which will connect to your car's computer and is mostly used when you have poor running or warning lights on your dash. It will help us to get to the bottom of a fault. A plug-in code read differs from a diagnostics job, and most people confuse the two. A code read is as basic as it sounds: you get told a code and what it might be, whereas a diagnostic is getting that code and digging further into your car's problem. Though it may take longer and cost a bit more, you can be confident with our findings. Our mobile diagnostics also carries over to any other components of your car, especially if you have an older car with no, or limited, computer functionality. We carry out additional checks on braking or suspension issues, where we use visual and manual checks of joints and components.

One of the main advantages of our mobile car diagnostics is our ability to provide immediate assistance wherever you are. Whether you're at home, at work, or even stranded on the side of the road, we can come to your location and diagnose your car's problems on the spot.

Faults Other Garages Have Missed

A lot of the cars we diagnose have already been somewhere else. The pattern is usually the same: a fault code was read, a part was replaced on the strength of it, and the problem came back a fortnight later. A fault code tells you which circuit is unhappy. It does not tell you why.

Daryl has completed diagnostic training in oscilloscope use, which means that rather than guessing from a code, we can look directly at the electrical signal a sensor or actuator is producing and see whether the component itself has failed, or whether it is reporting honestly about a problem somewhere else. Tell us what has already been replaced and we will pick up from there. For wiring, starting and charging faults, see our auto electrician page.

Another benefit of our mobile auto diagnostics is the transparency we offer. With traditional auto repair shops or garages, there is often a level of uncertainty regarding the accuracy of the diagnosis and the cost of repairs. Our mobile car technicians, on the other hand, can provide a clear and detailed report of the issues they find, along with an estimate of the repair costs. This allows you to make informed decisions about your vehicle and avoid any surprises when it comes to the final bill, rather than getting your vehicle to a garage in the first place only to then find out the costs are prohibitive to repair, eliminating the need to rearrange your day or take time off work.

Frequently Asked Mobile Car Diagnostics Questions

Why choose you to carry out the diagnostics on my car?

As with all our mobile services, we can carry this out at your home or business, so it will be extremely convenient for you. With low overheads, you will find our mobile car repair services extremely competitive too.

What is a common car diagnostics issue?

A common car diagnostics issue is the engine warning light (sometimes called the check engine light) turning on. This warning light can indicate a range of issues with the vehicle, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, a loose fuel cap, a malfunctioning catalytic converter, or a problem with the ignition system. When the engine warning light is illuminated, it is essential to have a mechanic use a diagnostic tool to identify the specific fault. Ignoring this warning light can lead to further damage to the vehicle and potentially more expensive repairs.

What are the benefits of using mobile car diagnostics?

Using mobile car diagnostics offers several benefits. Firstly, it provides convenience, as it allows car owners to easily identify and troubleshoot any issues with their vehicles without having to visit a mechanic or a service centre. This can save both time and money, as it eliminates the need for unnecessary trips to the repair shop. Additionally, mobile car diagnostics provide real-time data and analysis, allowing car owners to have a better understanding of their vehicle's performance and any potential problems. This empowers them to make informed decisions and take necessary actions to maintain the health and longevity of their cars. Overall, mobile car diagnostics offer a cost-effective and efficient way to monitor and maintain the condition of a vehicle.

Can mobile car diagnostics be used on all car models and makes?

Mobile car diagnostics can be used on most car models and makes, but there may be some limitations depending on the specific diagnostic tool being used. Many mobile car diagnostic tools are designed to be compatible with a wide range of van and car makes and models. However, certain luxury or high-end car brands may have their own proprietary diagnostic systems that require specialised tools or software. That's why the first thing we will ask is the make and model of your vehicle, to ensure compatibility with the mobile car diagnostic tool we have and provide reliable results.

How accurate are the results obtained through mobile car diagnostics?

The accuracy of results obtained through mobile car diagnostics can vary depending on various factors. Mobile car diagnostic tools are designed to read and interpret the data from a vehicle's onboard computer system, which can provide valuable information about the car's performance, potential issues and necessary repairs. However, the accuracy of these results can be affected by the quality of the diagnostic tool being used, the expertise and experience of the person conducting the diagnostics, and the tool's compatibility with the specific make and model of the car. At D&E Auto Repairs to You we keep our diagnostics equipment and technicians' knowledge as current as possible to provide the best diagnostics service possible.

Do you charge for diagnostics?

Yes. If you need us to find a fault, the diagnostic work is charged for, because tracking it down properly is the job. You will know the cost before we start, and nothing gets added without us telling you first.

My car has already been to a garage and the fault is still there. Can you help?

Very often, yes. A code was usually read and the part named in it was replaced, but a code only points at the circuit, not the cause. We use oscilloscope diagnostics to look at the signal the part is actually producing. Tell us what has already been replaced and we will pick up from there.
