Are warning lights displayed on your dashboard? It is important you get your car serviced as soon as possible, not only for your own safety but also the safety of other road users. Our engine diagnostics find the root of the problem quickly so you can get back on the road as soon as possible. An engine diagnostic check looks at the car’s Engine Control Unit (ECU). Each system is scanned, allowing us to identify problems and error codes. We can then let you know which repairs are necessary. At AutoXtrem we use state-of-art diagnostic equipment including vsds and Launchpad X431 Pad II.

A modern car is full of electronics and electrical components and every now and again something may fail. Maybe the electric windows have stopped working, maybe it’s the wiper motor, the rear window heater, the seat warmers, the car radio, one of the loudspeakers, a bulb in the headlights, the fog lights, the tow bar plug or the electric sun roof. Whatever is wrong, it usually requires repair, replacement or a diagnostics check to see whether a fuse has blown or whether the problem goes deeper.

An air conditioning service is recommended every two years. Over a period of time it’s possible for the gas in the system to deplete. When the system loses gas it becomes less efficient which leads to increased fuel consumption, and could lead to possible repairs. During the service our technician will recover the gas in the system, then evacuated and charge the system with gas, oil, and UV dye. We use UV dye in the system to help indicate where possible leaks might be located if they were to occur, and oil is used to lubricate the internals of the system. Once the system is fully charged with gas we are able to fully check the performance of the system and its components such as the compressor and the air con condenser.
