Vehicle Diagnostics and Fault Finding

A fault code identifies the system or operating condition that detected a problem. It does not automatically prove which part has failed.

Depending on the symptoms, diagnosis may include:

• Vehicle scanning and fault-code assessment
• Live-data analysis
• Electrical circuit and wiring tests
• Battery, starter-motor and alternator testing
• Fuel-pressure and delivery tests
• Intake and boost-system testing
• Cooling-system pressure testing
• Mechanical engine checks
• Road testing when safe and appropriate

We investigate warning lights, hard starting, loss of power, misfires, overheating, battery drain, transmission concerns, unusual noises, excessive smoke and intermittent faults.

Petrol and Diesel Car Repairs

Petrol and diesel engines use different fuel, intake, ignition and emissions systems. The correct test procedure depends on the engine and the symptoms present.

Our petrol and diesel repair capability includes:

• Hard-starting and no-start diagnosis
• Rough running and misfire diagnosis
• Fuel-pressure and injector-circuit faults
• Turbocharger and boost-system problems
• Oil and coolant leaks
• Overheating and cooling-system faults
• Sensor, wiring and control-system faults
• DPF-related performance concerns

4WD Servicing for Work, Towing and Touring

A 4WD used for towing, off-road travel, beach driving or worksites may require more attention than a vehicle used only for short urban trips.

4WD inspections and servicing can include:

• Engine and fuel-system service items
• Gearbox, transfer-case and differential oils
• Cooling-system condition
• Wheel bearings and driveline components
• Brakes, suspension and steering
• Tyres and wheel-alignment concerns
• Battery and charging systems
• Tow-related wear and electrical connections

Maintenance is recommended according to the vehicle, its service history and how it is actually being used.

Workshop Repairs and Mobile Support

Workshop equipment is important for hoist inspections, extended testing, wheel alignment, transmission work and repairs requiring controlled conditions.

Mobile support remains available for breakdowns, fleet work and repairs that can be completed safely and practically at the vehicle’s location.

When a roadside or on-site repair is not appropriate, we can explain the next practical step and continue the repair through our workshop support.

Pre-Purchase Checks for Cars and 4WDs

If you are considering a used vehicle, an independent mechanical inspection can identify visible defects, stored faults and maintenance concerns before purchase.

Our pre-purchase vehicle inspections are separate from roadworthy and safety-certificate services.
