Service Overview
The Engine Control Unit (ECU) in your vehicle continuously monitors performance, recording error codes that can only be interpreted using specialist diagnostic equipment. If a warning light appears on your dashboard, a professional diagnostic check is essential to identify the root cause of the problem and prevent costly component failures. At Car Services in Reading, we invest in the latest UK code technology to provide expert vehicle diagnostics. From engine and EML faults to exhaust emissions, brakes, and clutch issues, our experienced mechanics ensure your car is diagnosed accurately and repaired efficiently.
