Car Diagnostics near Huntingdon with Ouse Valley Autos

ACCURATE FAULT FINDING FOR YOUR CAR

CALL US TODAY ON 01487 822253
A warning light on the dashboard, a rough engine or poor fuel economy can all be signs of a hidden fault. Guessing at the cause can mean paying for parts you never needed, so we find the real problem first.
At Ouse Valley Autos in Warboys, we carry out vehicle diagnostics for drivers from Huntingdon, Ramsey, Somersham, St Ives and the villages around. We use diagnostic equipment to read fault codes, then carry out further checks to confirm the cause. We explain what we have found and the cost before any repair begins.

Engine warning light on?

An engine warning light can mean anything from a minor sensor fault to a problem that needs attention straight away. The light tells you something is wrong, but not what. Our diagnostic check reads the codes stored in your car and tests the area concerned, so you get a clear answer rather than a guess.

How our diagnostic check works

  • We connect our diagnostic equipment and read any fault codes
  • We test further, because a fault code points to an area, not always the exact part
  • We tell you what we found and what it will cost, before we start any repair

Common reasons to book a diagnostic check

  • Engine warning light or check engine light
  • ABS, traction control or airbag warning light
  • Loss of power or poor fuel economy
  • Misfiring, stalling or hard starting
  • Strange noises or vibrations

When should I stop driving?

A red warning light usually means stop as soon as it is safe to do so, because carrying on could cause serious damage. Switch the engine off and give us a call before you drive any further.
An amber light means your car needs checking soon. It is usually fine to drive to the garage, but do not leave it for weeks, as a small fault can turn into a bigger and more expensive one.
