“I had an issue where there was no power going to my headlights.
They were new bulbs and fuses were good, so was told by other mechanics it was an electrical problem so wanted a diagnostic check (with the hope it was a minor thing that could be sorted).

I chose ClickMechanic because from reading their website, it seemed a lot of the jobs could possibly be sorted at the roadside and at a time to suit.

I wrote in the note section the reason for the test was to sort my headlights out, but as it happened, a diagnostic check would not pick up a fault like that. My engine management light was on and at least the test gave them codes, but for me, I was disappointed because it appeared neither ClickMechanic or the mechanic themselves read the notes as to why I wanted the test. I feel I paid over the odds (£79) for a diagnostic check.

I wasn't told the test won't pick up the headlight issue until the test was run, so would have been better for me if the notes were read and I was told before. But, the mechanics were super friendly and had a look at the lights and fuses for me, and did work out there is power going to them.

Maybe I took a gamble, and it didn't pay off

If you have an electrical issue, I won't use ClickMechanic because you would pay more for a diagnostic check than in some places, would likely be told to take it to an auto electrician anyway who would charge you again to run their test. Save money and just take it to an auto electrician, or as I did, got fed up of chasing one and booked it with the main dealer where I know I will pay a bit more but at least the job will get done in the end.

ClickMechanic would be good options for basic things like tyres and brakes etc, that can be done at the road side.

Again, the mechanics were top blokes, this is not a dig at them, I just wished the notes were read before hand and I could have had the diagnostic check done for a bit cheaper elsewhere.”

“Richard collected the vehicle to carry out the work of which I was grateful for as there was no other time. The work was carried out to a very high standard and I explained to Richard I had a minor fault with the electronic handbrake which actually caused a lot of issues replacing the rear discs and pads but he managed to do the job regardless of the extra issues faced.

Communication was good throughout and any and all questions asked with quick responses.

Would highly recommend.”

Frequently asked questions about ABS repair & replacements in Merthyr Tydfil

Read our answers to questions about ABS repair costs, symptoms and more.

What does an abs fault repair in Merthyr Tydfil involve?

  • Depending on the specific job - an ABS repair may include all or some of the following steps
  • Mechanic will diagnostically inspect the ABS system.
  • If necessary, the mechanic will replace the faulty ABS sensor and re-test the component.
  • If the ABS module is at fault, the mechanic will advise on the best course of action in order to have it repaired.
  • Mechanic will test drive and inspect the braking system.

What are the symptoms of an ABS fault?

  • The car's ABS warning light stays on permanently once the engine is started.
  • The brakes lock up very easily when braking on slippery surfaces.
  • The brakes do not respond as well as normal under hard braking

How long will an ABS repair take in Merthyr Tydfil?

The time an abs repair will take will depend on the type of repair needed and a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.

What happens when the ABS system fails?

The ABS, or anti-lock braking system, on your car is a super important system that prevents your wheels from locking up and therefore simply skidding across the road surface. The system is especially important when braking in adverse weather conditions, i.e. when the road surface is slippery due to leaves, frost or when there are traces of oil on the road. Because of this, keeping your anti-lock braking systems properly maintained is vital.

There's a couple of components in the system that can cause problems. In many cases it will be the ABS sensors that fail, which means the system will not receive the information it requires to activate the system.

When should you replace the ABS sensors?

You will only know for sure if, and indeed which, ABS sensor requires replacement after a diagnostic investigation has taken place. Therefore we advise in all circumstances that this is carried out prior to booking the replacement of any components.

How much does an ABS sensor replacement in Merthyr Tydfil cost?

Cost for an ABS sensor replacement is on average £100, with prices ranging from £65 to £140. Ultimately, the cost depends on your car and what parts your car's manufacturer recommends using for the replacement. Find out what you could save by having your ABS sensor replaced by ClickMechanic by selecting your car below!

What are the symptoms of a bad ABS module?

Typical symptoms that would point to an issue with the ABS and would require an ABS diagnostic:

  • The car's ABS warning light stays on permanently once the engine is started
  • The brakes lock up very easily when braking on slippery surfaces
  • The brakes do not respond as well as normal under hard braking

What are the signs of a bad ABS wheel speed sensor?

A bad ABS wheel speed sensor will often cause the ABS dashboard warning light to come on. Other symptoms may include a loss of traction control, and the vehicle may take longer to stop. It is recommended to get it checked and fixed by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.

Is ABS light on a MOT failure?

Yes, if the ABS light is permanently on, it will result in an MOT failure. The rules state that the car will fail if the ABS light does not follow the correct sequence of operation and indicates an ABS fault.

How much does it cost to fix an ABS pump in Merthyr Tydfil?

Cost to fix an ABS pump replacement can range between £300 - £1000, depending on the severity of the issue and the parts required.
