Engine Diagnostics in Hebburn, Tyne and Wear

Engine management light on? Banks Of The Tyne Motor Company in Hebburn uses advanced diagnostic equipment and hands-on experience to find the real cause of the fault, so you only pay to fix what's actually wrong.

Find the Fault, Not a Guess

Modern cars monitor hundreds of systems and store fault codes when something goes wrong. A code is a starting point, not an answer: the same code can be caused by a failed sensor, a wiring fault or a mechanical problem elsewhere.

Our Hebburn technicians read the codes, look at live data and carry out targeted tests to pinpoint the cause. We then explain what we've found and give you a clear quote before any repair work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep driving with the engine light on?

If the light is steady and the car drives normally, get it checked soon. If it's flashing, or the car is losing power or overheating, stop as soon as it's safe, as continuing could cause serious damage.

Is a diagnostic check just plugging in a code reader?

No. A code reader tells us where to look; proper diagnosis involves live data, testing components and wiring, and using experience to find the root cause.

How long does a diagnostic check take?

An initial check usually takes around an hour. Intermittent or complex faults can take longer, and we'll always agree that with you first.
