Diagnostics.
Fault code reading, key-to-vehicle synchronisation checks and full electronic health scans using professional multi-brand diagnostic equipment.
What We Do
What We Diagnose
Modern vehicles contain dozens of electronic control modules that all communicate via a CAN bus network. When something goes wrong with a key, an immobiliser, or an anti-theft system, the problem is often logged as a fault code in one or more of these modules. Our diagnostic equipment reads these codes in real time and interprets them — giving us a precise picture of what's wrong before any work begins.
We carry professional multi-brand diagnostic tools covering the OBD2 protocol standards used by all post-2001 vehicles sold in the UK. For manufacturer-specific deep diagnostics (BMW, Mercedes, VAG Group, Ford, etc.), we use brand-specific interfaces that access systems not available through generic OBD2 scanners. A pre- and post-work diagnostic scan is included in all our key programming, immobiliser, and replacement key services as standard.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a diagnostic check involve?+
We connect a professional diagnostic interface to your vehicle's OBD2 port and scan all accessible control modules for stored and live fault codes. For immobiliser and key systems, we access manufacturer-specific data beyond standard OBD2.
Can you diagnose why my car won't start?+
Yes. A diagnostic scan identifies the precise module and fault type causing a no-start condition, whether that's an immobiliser fault, key sync issue, BCM failure, or something entirely different.
Do you clear codes after the check?+
We clear fault codes only after resolving the underlying issue. Clearing codes without a fix is not a service we provide — they will return immediately if the root cause is still present.
Is diagnostics included in other services?+
Yes. A pre- and post-work diagnostic scan is included in all our key programming, immobiliser, and replacement key services as standard.
