The problem solvers
Some problems don't come with instructions.
Most work that reaches this bench has already been somewhere else first.
Test it. Diagnose it. Repair it. Source it. Build it. Or find someone who can.
- //A part has already been replaced, and it wasn't the problem.
- //The vehicle has been scanned, but nobody could read what it said.
- //The component isn't available locally.
- //A key or module has failed.
- //A gate system has stopped working.
- //A job needs a specialised tool for three days.
- //An electronic board has died.
- //The replacement part costs more than the repair.
- //Nobody nearby can diagnose it.

Diagnostic reports
A fault code is not a diagnosis.
We diagnose the problem, document what we find and explain the results.
- 01The vehicle is assessed.
- 02Systems are scanned.
- 03Faults and live data are analysed.
- 04Findings are documented.
- 05You receive a report.
- 06Where required, we explain the findings to your repairer.
