Diagnostic technology

At Quality Car Service, Milton Keynes we continuously invest in the latest car diagnostic and repair technology. We use the most advanced diagnostic software, equipment and tools, on par with main dealers.

With today’s technologically advanced vehicles the engines are controlled by the cars’ onboard computers, the ECUs.

This is why it’s important you choose a reliable trusted garage that has access to the latest tools and software, and the highest level of expertise to correctly and efficiently diagnose and repair your car.

Identify and diagnose faults

When the Engine Management light or one of the dashboard warning lights comes on, our highly qualified technicians can read the ‘trouble codes’ and, using specialist diagnostic equipment, trace the fault to its original cause. Clearing the fault code without first identifying the cause will increase the amount of time it takes to properly diagnose a fault.

It is important to understand that sometimes the problem may not be just the sensor; it could be a connection, wiring or even a problem with the ECU itself. In fact, at Quality Car Service, our car diagnostic test is so thorough that we can not only identify the root cause of an electronic problem, but we also check faulty or worn mechanical components which cannot be diagnosed by your car’s ECU such as squeaky brakes or a grinding noise when braking.

Car diagnostic test as a preventative measure

Many of us go to the doctor, dentist or optician for a regular check-up, just in case we have a problem that could turn into something more serious.

This ‘regular check-up’ approach should also be applied to the upkeep of our cars. One of the best and most cost-efficient ways of doing this is with an annual car diagnostic health check.

Many problems with these components and others, if found early can be rectified, either with an adjustment, repair or replacement, which could potentially save you money, help prevent accidents or breakdowns and significantly extend the life of your vehicle.

Book your annual car diagnostic health check today, either using the booking button on the website or give us a call to speak to one of our expert advisors.

3 reasons to book your diagnostics today

01

Buying a used car: When buying a used car, either privately or through a dealer, it’s vital you know the vehicle’s service history, as well as obtaining a vehicle diagnostics report.

With the sellers permission, Quality Car Services will give the vehicle you’re thinking of buying a comprehensive diagnostics check using our advanced diagnostics equipment.

We’ll check things such as the ABS braking systems, all the electrics and electronics, air-conditioning systems and many other components that should be in good working order when buying any used vehicle.

02

Need a second opinion: Major repairs to your vehicle can be costly, and often, it’s a good idea to get a second opinion before agreeing to have any work carried out.

At Quality Car Servicing, the diagnostic testing equipment we use is comparable to the equipment used by main dealers. This gives us the advantage over many other diagnostic garages, as we have the ability to delve much deeper and diagnose issues others may have missed.

03

Hearing noises in the car: All vehicles make strange, unexplained noises at times. Often these are just the normal inner-workings of the engine or other mechanical parts. But, at other times a noise could be a warning of something more serious.

By booking an engine diagnostics test at our Milton Keynes garage, our highly-qualified and skilled mechanics will be able to quickly locate the possible cause of the noise, preventing the need for a more time-consuming and more costly, manual investigation.

    Cannot recommend Ben and the team enough. After a nightmare experience buying a car from Trade Centre UK, i had no end of issues that they would not resolve (a whole other story!!).

    Booked my car in for its MOT and the service from start to finish was amazing! Nothing was too much trouble and was kept updated during the process. Also had my husbands flat tyre in the boot and they fixed it there and then without any drama. Quick and easy to use the online booking system. Will be recommending to friends and family.
