Conventional auto electrical repairs
Starting, charging, wiring and intermittent electrical concerns are investigated alongside the vehicle’s symptoms and history. Garry Cracknell is our Master Technician and auto electrician.

We combine scan information with targeted circuit and component checks. A stored fault code is a starting point, not proof that the named component needs replacing.
The workshop uses Bosch KTS, three Autel platforms and Snap-on diagnostic equipment, alongside VAG-COM and other manufacturer-specific tools. The appropriate platform depends on the vehicle and the concern.
The electrical repair page explains the work we can undertake; our separate diagnostics guide explains the investigation process, initial booking and how additional tests are agreed.
Back to topics ↑Note the conditions when the fault occurs: wet weather, a cold start, a long journey, a particular accessory or a period parked up. Photographs of a message and a clear symptom history can be useful.
A fault that is not present during the visit may require further investigation. We explain what has been tested, what the evidence shows and what remains unconfirmed rather than claiming every intermittent fault can be found immediately.
Back to topics ↑We do not undertake EV electrical, EV diagnostic, high-voltage or electric-drive work. Any limited conventional hybrid engine or mechanical job must be agreed in advance and excludes high-voltage and electric-drive systems.
ADAS calibration, key cutting, key programming, lost-key work and immobiliser programming are not offered. Post-2018 JLR coding/programming is also outside our scope.
Back to topics ↑Send the registration, symptoms, warning messages and details of any aftermarket equipment or previous repair attempts. The initial diagnostic allowance and charge are agreed when booking. Further time and repairs require discussion.
A battery replacement and a charging-system fault are not the same job. We can explain whether a battery assessment or a wider electrical investigation is the better starting point.

A wiring fault can appear only when a circuit is loaded, a door moves or the vehicle warms up. We assess connectors, terminals, earths, fuseboxes and CAN/LIN communication alongside the reported symptoms. Supported factory seat, locking, lighting, alarm and convenience systems can also be investigated.
