Vehicle Diagnostics in Shropshire
Dealer level diagnostics across Oswestry, Whitchurch, Ellesmere, Wem and Shrewsbury.
In a county this size, taking a vehicle somewhere to find out what is wrong with it costs most of a day before anyone has fixed anything. We come to you with dealer level equipment, read the vehicle where it stands, and tell you what it is reporting.
Finding out before you lose a day to it
The useful thing about reading a vehicle on site is that it separates the decisions. First, what is actually wrong. Then, and only then, what to do about it and where. We read across all the modules rather than pulling one code, look at live data and the freeze frame stored when the fault occurred, and tell you which codes are the cause and which are just consequences. If the honest answer is that it needs a dealer or a specialist, we will say so, and you will at least be making that drive for a reason.
Areas we cover
We cover Oswestry, Whitchurch, Ellesmere, Wem, Market Drayton and Shrewsbury and the villages between them, and travel towards Chirk, Ruabon and Wrexham on the A483 and A5. See our areas we cover page for the full list or get in touch to confirm we can reach you.
What we check
- Fault code reading and clearing across all systems
- Live data review for engine, transmission, emissions
- Pre-remap health check included with every tuning visit
- DPF, EGR and AdBlue system fault diagnosis
What the equipment actually reaches
We use dealer level equipment rather than a basic code reader, which means manufacturer specific codes across all the modules, not just the generic engine ones. Alongside the stored codes we look at live data and at the freeze frame the car saved at the moment the fault occurred, because that tells us the conditions it happened in. Then we explain what it means in plain terms and tell you whether it needs repair, further investigation, or simply clearing.
Vehicles that are needed tomorrow
On a farm or a small business, the vehicle with the fault is usually the one that has work booked in the morning. Reading it on the yard rather than sending it away is the difference between a delay and a proper problem. If a vehicle is off the road entirely, say so when you get in touch, because it changes what we bring and whether we can do anything useful on the first visit.

Frequently asked questions
How far into Shropshire do you actually go?
Oswestry, Whitchurch, Ellesmere, Wem, Market Drayton and Shrewsbury are all normal coverage. If you are further out than that, ask, and we will give you a straight yes or no rather than leave it vague.
Can you read a vehicle on a farm yard?
Yes, and a lot of what we do out here is exactly that. We need safe access and to reach the diagnostic port. Tell us about the ground and the access when you book.
Can you diagnose agricultural or commercial vehicles?
Tell us the make and model when you get in touch and we will tell you honestly whether it is something we can read. It is better to establish that on the phone than for us to travel and find out we cannot help.
What does a vehicle diagnostic check involve?
We connect to your vehicle's ECU and read stored fault codes and live data, along with the freeze frame saved when the fault occurred. We then explain what the codes mean and advise on whether the issue needs repair, clearing, or further investigation.
My engine management light is on. Can you help?
Yes. We read the codes that triggered the light and, more importantly, work out whether they point at the cause or at a consequence of something else. Get in touch and we will arrange a visit.
If something has come up on a vehicle and you are in Shropshire, get in touch before you commit a day to driving it somewhere.
