What happens during a car won't start diagnostic in Darlington?

In most cases, the cause is either the starter motor or the battery that is at fault, both of which can be resolved relatively quickly. If you notice a rapid clicking, but the engine not turning over (or turning over very slowly), it is likely to be the battery at fault. If you get a single click and the engine not turning over, that is likely to mean it is the starter motor. If the engine is turning over fine, but not starting, then further diagnostics will be required. Therefore, the mechanic will need to access vehicles electronic control units (ECU) via the OBD port inside the vehicle. Please be aware that on some vehicles these are in covered areas such as under the ashtray, at the back of a storage hole or even in the glove box, so the mechanic will need to remove anything that is blocking access to it. The mechanic will go through the diagnostic error code and read live data to pinpoint the cause(s) of the issue. Mechanic will physically examine the vehicle’s powertrain for potential faults, such as intake air leaks, boost hose leak etc If the cause of the issue requires additional work and parts, the mechanic will provide you with a quotation and a detailed description of the fault(s)

Garage serving Darlington, 40 years of experience

I completed my apprenticeship in the family business in Cumbria back in 1974 and worked in the business right up until 2002 in various roles such as heavy goods driver, I also became a partner in the busines...

“Dave and his son arrived on time and with all the equipment they needed to diagnose the issue with my car, they also called me in the morning to confirm times and what the fault was with the car. Prior to plugging in the diagnostic computer, they had already had an idea what they suspected was wrong with the car. They explained to me what the repair would consist of and how to repair it. The fault with my car was the crankshaft sensor. I have repaired my car, drove it from North East to South Wales and back again with no issue whatsoever.

What was pleasing to see is the cleanliness of their approach to my vehicle. They provided seat covers and floor a disposable floor mat. I am a former mechanic myself and I do look for the little things like this.

I spoke to Dave who has been in the trade for more than 40 years and he is still keeping himself concurrent by attending college to develop his knowledge of electrical cars in order to support his son in the their business. They clearly have a passion for the trade and what they do. They both truly demonstrate their professionalism whilst assessing my car. It was refreshing to see two mechanics who care and are not just looking to make money, but are customer focused. I would recommend this company to anyone with the confidence that they will look after your car and you as a customer. I strongly recommend them both.”
