Car diagnostics and warning lights
A fault code is a starting point, not the answer. We test, inspect and interpret what your car is telling us, so we fix the real cause rather than throw parts at the symptom. Diagnosis starts from $72, and we call you before going past an hour.
Prices
- Diagnosis$72 to $144
- Diagnostic scan$75
If it's going to take more than an hour, a service adviser calls you first.
How we get to the bottom of it
The root cause, not the symptom
We properly test, inspect and interpret what your car is telling us, so we fix the real problem the first time.
Lights, noises and odd feelings
A flashing check engine light, or a strange noise you can't quite place. Bring it in and we'll track it down.
Straight answers, no jargon
We talk you through what we found and give you a clear plan forward. Honest advice you can trust.
Saves you money
Good diagnostics picks up issues early and avoids unnecessary repairs, saving you time and money in the long run.
The latest tools and training
We invest in up-to-date equipment and keep our technicians trained, so nothing gets missed.
Why diagnosis has a cost
It takes specialised, often very expensive equipment and a technician with years of experience. Finding the true cause takes time, know-how and precision.

Common questions
How long does a vehicle diagnostic take?
This can vary depending on the fault. Some issues can be identified quickly with a scan tool, while others require more in-depth testing and investigation. We always aim to be thorough and keep you informed throughout the process.
Can’t you just tell me what’s wrong from the fault code?
Fault codes are just starting points — they don’t tell the full story. A code might point to a general system or sensor, but it takes a trained technician to properly test and confirm what’s actually causing the issue.
How much will it cost to diagnose my vehicle?
Diagnosis costs start from a minimum diagnosis fee of $72 and can be up to $144.
Diagnosis may require a scan which is $75.
If our technicians need more than 1 hour to diagnose your vehicle, our service advisers will be in touch to let you know.
