Wiring problems

Warning lights

FAQ

Common questions

My garage could not find the fault, can you?

This is a large part of what we do. We regularly take on faults that have already been looked at elsewhere, using professional diagnostic equipment and 25 years of experience.

Do you take trade work?

Yes. We support trade customers as well as private vehicle owners, taking on electrical work beyond standard workshop capability.

How long does fault finding take?

It depends entirely on the fault. Straightforward problems can be found quickly, while intermittent faults take longer because the fault has to be caught while it is happening. You will be told honestly where things stand.

Do you come to me?

Yes. This is a fully mobile service across Newcastle and the surrounding areas.

Got a fault nobody can find?

WhatsApp is the quickest way to reach us. We come to your home or workplace.
