Mobile Diagnostics

At Mobile Mechanic Reding our mobile car diagnostics service is equipped with a wide array of electrical tools for a comprehensive vehicle check. We utilise a high-quality diagnostics computer that connects to your car's system to address issues such as poor performance or dashboard warning lights. It is crucial in pinpointing any faults in your vehicle.

A plug-in code read and a diagnostics job are often mistaken for one another. A code read simply provides a code and possible issue, while a diagnostics job delves deeper into the problem to offer a more thorough analysis. Although a diagnostics job may be more time-consuming and costly, it provides a reliable diagnosis.

Our mobile diagnostics service extends to inspecting other components of your car, particularly in older vehicles with limited computer functionality. We conduct additional checks on braking and suspension systems through visual and manual inspections of connections between parts too.
