“At first I didn't know what was wrong with my car because it wouldn't start so initially I didn't know what to order from the selection choice so I ordered a diagnostic and saw it also offered services for non starters. I assumed both may be relevant and came to a total of £85 which I prepaid with my card...
I was contacted straight away by a mechanic called Stewart.
The slot was from 10am-12pm which he called to confirm. Stewart arrived the next day just before 12pm and the within ten minutes the car was working again..
Stewart came to tell me my car needed a jump start but it was working now and all I needed was a new battery which would cost a further £255. I was a bit shocked but asked Stewart if I could pay cash as I only had a bit of cash on me so Stewart said he would charge £180 if I paid cash to help save me some money which I thought was really nice of him after explaining the financial difficulties I have been having!
But after thinking about it for a while and after messaging my friend... because I don't really have the cash atm... I decided I didn't really need a new battery as I will be selling the car anyway. So he didn't complain that I changed my mind and he refitted the battery even though he had taken it out.
So all in all it cost me £85 for a jump which I think is a bit expensive none the less I am more aware now for future on how to order and how to use these services, it being my first time!
One note: He could have dropped the diagnostic charge at least as I doubt he used a diagnostic... But other than price service was bang on! Thank you!”

Frequently asked questions about car won't start inspections in South Shields

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 South Shields?

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)
