What we cover

Engine Diagnostics for Carshalton drivers.

Same quality as every other customer.

Plug-in report £30+VAT

We connect to the OBD port and retrieve every stored and pending fault code. A full written report is provided. The right starting point for any warning light.

Mechanical diagnostic £60+VAT

For noises, vibrations, smoke or power loss with no warning light. Physical inspection, road test and scan where applicable.

Oil leak diagnostic £90+VAT

Engine cleaned, every leak source identified and documented. UV dye used where appropriate. Repair quoted separately after the inspection.

Complex diagnostic £122+VAT

For limp mode, misfire, crank-no-start, CAN bus faults, gearbox faults and multi-module electrical issues. Live data analysis throughout.

Diagnostic fee taken off the repair bill

The full fee is deducted when you proceed with us. If the diagnosis is done right, the repair recommendation is right.

Manufacturer-level fault codes read

We read manufacturer-specific codes across all modules, not just the generic OBD codes a basic reader produces.

KITH Cars Garage in Hackbridge provides engine diagnostics for customers from Carshalton (SM5). The workshop is ~5 min via A232 from Carshalton. Same written quote, same parts quality and same workmanship warranty as any other customer.

A warning light means something in the engine management system has logged a fault. The light itself tells you nothing about the cause. It could be a loose fuel cap. It could be a failing catalytic converter. It could be an ABS sensor on its way out. You need the fault codes read by equipment that understands your specific vehicle. At KITH Cars Garage, that is what we use.

The plug-in report at £30+VAT connects to the OBD port under the dashboard and pulls every stored code, every pending code and the freeze-frame data captured when the fault was first triggered. We write it up in plain English and give it to you. That is the starting point for any warning light.

Pickup and drop-off from Carshalton is available. Call 020 4629 9469 or WhatsApp 07923 688259 to book.

FAQs

Common questions

What does the engine management light mean?

The ECU has detected a fault in one or more circuits. It does not mean imminent failure but it should be diagnosed promptly.

Can I keep driving with the light on?

A steady light can usually be driven on briefly. A flashing engine management light is a different matter. That typically indicates an active misfire and the vehicle should not be driven hard until it is diagnosed.

Why does diagnosis cost money?

It requires professional equipment, time and expertise. The fee is taken off the repair bill if we do the work, so in practice the diagnosis costs nothing if you proceed with us.
