Our Approach to Diagnostics

Initially, we gather as much information about the fault as possible, often by using our Diagnostic Assessment form below. We then use this information to begin our logical fault-finding process. The more information we can gather usually means we are able to find the fault quicker, therefore saving you time and money.

The aim of our initial diagnostic assessment is to give you an answer as to how we can best move forward in repairing the fault on your vehicle. Often, we are able to determine the cause of the fault within the initial assessment and provide you with an accurate estimate for repairs. Alternatively, we will be able to devise a logical test plan that we need to carry out in order to get to the bottom of the fault. This may involve further checks and additional charges but we promise not to carry out any extra work until you have authorised it.

A member of our knowledgeable customer service team will contact you and explain the results of the diagnostic assessment and provide a clear estimate of the costs. We promise to offer our honest and fair advice and are happy to discuss any queries you may have at length.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do hybrid vehicles need regular servicing?
Yes — like any car, hybrids need routine servicing to stay safe and efficient. In addition to traditional checks (brakes, tyres, filters), we inspect hybrid-specific components like the battery system, inverter, and cooling circuits.
Can you service all hybrid makes and models?
Absolutely. Our technicians are trained to work on all types of hybrid vehicles, including self-charging hybrids, plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and mild hybrids. We service models from Toyota, Lexus, Ford, Kia, Honda, and more.
How often should I service my hybrid vehicle?
Service intervals vary by model, but most hybrids require a full service every 12 months or 10,000–12,000 miles. Some may need hybrid system health checks more frequently — we’ll follow your manufacturer’s guidelines exactly.
What’s different about hybrid servicing?
Hybrid servicing includes all the usual maintenance plus checks on high-voltage systems, battery performance, and electric drive components. Our team uses specialist tools and safety protocols to carry out this work correctly.
