Warning light worries?
Expert VEHICLE diagnostics in Cardiff

Modern cars are very clever and will let you know if something is wrong. But interpreting it is a different matter. A 'check engine' light could mean one of many possible issues, so let First Auto Engineers have a look and resolve the problem now, before it turns into an expensive headache.

It's just a light...right?

Even though an orange warning light isn't always an immediate danger, it can turn into a bigger problem later on, and the last thing you need is to pay thousands for a new engine or brake system overhaul.

First Auto Engineers are able to analyse and interpret what your warning lights and OBD codes are telling you, thanks to professional-standard vehicle diagnostics systems, and provide an accurate solution to the issue. Our technicians know their P0000 from their P0299!

Our garage technicians are here to help motorists in Cardiff, Canton, Llandaff and the surrounding area. It could be as simple as a fluid top-up or minor part, but don't run the chance of it being something much worse!

When should I consider vehicle diagnostics?

There are visible warning lights on your dashboard (flashing, always-on, occasionally on etc.)
Your vehicle is not running as smoothly as usual
Your vehicle is in 'limp-mode'
You're using more fuel, or losing fluids more often
Your vehicle is overheating
You notice black or blue smoke from the exhaust
You see an error code displayed but you don't know what it means
