What keeps coming up in the reviews
From customers
…There was a mystery fault with my car that two garages couldn't identify. Eddie came and within no time at all had diagnosed the problem and replaced the part. The car now drives perfectly…
…After trying 3 garages with no luck in fixing an electrical problem with my van I almost gave up, but luckily I came across Eddies website, and thank god I did…
Tip-top service from Eddie, who fixed a longstanding electrical problem with my car, after two garages wrongly diagnosed it as a more complicated and expensive repair…
From fault finding to keys and remote support
The work
Vauxhall diagnostics
Warning lights, electrical faults, ECU faults and sensor issues, read and traced at your door.
Real job, from a Google review
Auto electrics
Service lights and a dash going on and off, traced to a tailgate module full of water. Eddie then found where the water was getting in and sealed it.
Keys and remotes
Replacement, reprogramming and immobiliser synchronisation. Some worn keys can be re-shelled, which costs less.
Electric vehicles
Servicing, diagnostics and electrical faults on electric Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen and Chevrolet models.
ECUs and control modules
ECU faults, new modules programmed, software updates.
Peugeot, Citroen and DS
Specialist cover for 2018 onwards, including key programming.
