“Started the car quickly but we then had to take it to a local repair garage to have the battery replaced. It would have been great if this could have been done on site without an additional callout fee.”

“The mechanic identified the problem in my vehicle not starting. He go it going but refused to start after being stopped. Looks like a faulty sensor in the automatic gear lever and possibly on the crankcase sensor.
Good work, and hopefully a successful replacement of these parts will result in a permanent solution”

“I was well impressed by Mathew's knowledge of my vehicle and his honesty and candor in dealing with the diagnosis of the fault. He had even sourced specific parts prior to arrival and was able to provide the identical replacement battery on the spot and install it within the time allocated for the diagnostics, it at no additional labour costs.
It's very refreshing to find a mechanic who brings you solutions, which are targeted and economical; rather than one who 'talks up' the problems, before stiffing you with additional charges.
He's a credit to his profession !!

Frequently asked questions about car won't start inspections in East Kilbride

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 East Kilbride?

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)
