“Absolutely, was really nervous - I am now an OAP and I had never had to get a mobile mechanic out before, I'd always managed to get to a garage. This brilliant Renault specialist firm (especially my helpers Mark and Gary!) advised me and helped me work things out for the best. They got me up and running and were clear about what the problem had been, and I myself was then able to see that it would recur as the electric panel that sits on the right of the engine had been damaged, They offered to fit a new part there and then , were clear about the cost, and I will be back in the new year to get it fitted when I save up. Can't thank them enough, and for coming out so far to help, 25 miles.”

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

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 Edinburgh?

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)
