“Shahid was great. He really knows his cars, he was only here to help diagnose the fault of the car not starting. He did this in a methodical way, double checking things that didn't look right. I'm 99% sure this diagnosis is correct. Shahid explained what he was doing and why he was testing different things. Just a shame the time he was here was the wettest of the day. Would highly recommend Shahid and ClickMechanic to others.”

“Nikolay, was excellent. Having previously tried a different on-call service without success I was hoping he could help. I was very impressed with his professionalism. He was on time, communicated clearly what was happening and explained the situation well even reaching out prior to the visit to check some variables. The service and overall customer experience was excellent and, of course, most importantly he fixed the issue quickly. Nigel, who responded to my email queries when making the booking was also extremely helpful. Great job Clickmechanic!”

Frequently asked questions about car won't start inspections in Coulsdon

Read our answers to questions about car won't start inspection costs, symptoms and more.

What happens during a car won't start diagnostic in Coulsdon?

In most cases, the cause is either the starter motor or the battery that is at fault, both of which can be resolved relatively quickly.

If you notice a rapid clicking, but the engine not turning over (or turning over very slowly), it is likely to be the battery at fault. If you get a single click and the engine not turning over, that is likely to mean it is the starter motor.

If the engine is turning over fine, but not starting, then further diagnostics will be required.

Therefore, the mechanic will need to access vehicles electronic control units (ECU) via the OBD port inside the vehicle. Please be aware that on some vehicles these are in covered areas such as under the ashtray, at the back of a storage hole or even in the glove box, so the mechanic will need to remove anything that is blocking access to it.

  • The mechanic will go through the diagnostic error code and read live data to pinpoint the cause(s) of the issue.
  • Mechanic will physically examine the vehicle’s powertrain for potential faults, such as intake air leaks, boost hose leak etc
  • If the cause of the issue requires additional work and parts, the mechanic will provide you with a quotation and a detailed description of the fault(s)
