How It Works

1

Code Read

We plug our advanced diagnostic computer into your car’s OBD port to read the specific fault codes.


2

Live Data Check

We watch the live data from your engine sensors while it’s running to pinpoint the exact failure.


3

Visual Inspection

Computers only tell half the story. Our mechanics physically inspect the area the code points to.


4

Clear & Fix

We give you a straightforward quote to fix the issue, and then we clear the codes so the dash is clean.

Warning Signs

Check Engine (Amber)

The engine has detected an emissions or running fault. Safe to drive to the garage, but don't ignore it.

Flashing Engine Light

Stop driving! A flashing light means the engine is actively misfiring and dumping unburnt fuel into the exhaust.

Red Oil Can

Pull over immediately and turn off the engine. You have zero oil pressure and are seconds away from engine death.

ABS/ESP Light

Your anti-lock brakes are disabled. The normal brakes will still work, but you won't have computer assistance in a skid.

As well as a service I had asked for a tyre replacement & agreed the extra work to overcome misplacement of my locking wheel nut key. VRS later found my key (in a hidden compartment ) + advised the tyre replacement was unnecessary, saving me between £200 & £300 for which I am most grateful.

Always use these guys for MOT on my camper van. When work was needed to stop brakes squeaking it was fixed free of charge.

FAQs

Can you just turn the light off for me? +
We can clear the code, but if the broken part isn't fixed, the car's computer will just turn the light back on a few miles down the road!
Does an amber warning light fail an MOT? +
Yes, almost all major dashboard warning lights (Engine, ABS, Airbag, Tyre Pressure) are now an instant MOT failure.
What does a diagnostic check cost? +
We charge a small, fixed fee to hook up the computer and spend time diagnosing the fault. We'll then quote you for the actual repair.

What symbol is flashing at you?

Describe the light (color and shape) and your vehicle reg, and we'll tell you if it's safe to drive to us.
