Engine Warning Light - Gold Coast
When an engine light stays on continuously after your car has started, this indicates there is a fault somewhere in the vehicle. It’s best to get it checked out as soon as possible.
Great communication, honest pricing, excellent customer service. These are some of the comments our customers use to describe their experience with us.
How do we diagnose an engine light problem?
We can use a Launch Diagnostic scan tool which is capable of checking the engine warning light and other warning lights for 95% of cars on the road, even imports and brand new cars!
A common myth is that a mechanic simply plugs their diagnostic scanning tool into their computer, clears the light and off you go. Sometimes that can be the case. Unfortunately though, just because a sensor is triggering a code, it doesn’t always mean that the sensor is at fault.
It is our job to carry out the tests and find the fault to ensure the safety of your car. We have an up-to-date scan tool that is compatible with most vehicles on the road.
There'll be no unexpected items on your invoice. There will be no unnecessary repairs.
You and your vehicle will be treated with respect. We'll explain things without technical jargon.
We use the best quality parts and Penrite oils whenever possible. We want you to get the most out of each service and repair.

Diagnosis / Investigation Fees
If you've got an issue with your car, in the first instance you can message our team and describe the issues you're experiencing.
Please be aware, we are a small but very busy workshop and our appointments are often booked up 2-3 weeks in advance. It's not viable for us to interrupt our mechanics during their day to offer advice over the phone.
Not only that, we need to do a visual inspection, listen to, and in many cases drive the car before we can make any assumptions about the cause of a problem. So please give us as much info as possible via our contact form or get quote form so we can determine if we can help or not.

FAQ
Initially we like to have the vehicle for an hour, it doesn't take long to check the warning code logged in the engine management system. What can take time though, is working out why the warning light has been triggered in the first place. In some cases we will need the vehicle for longer and we'll let you know if this is the case.
