OUR DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS

Accurate repairs start with accurate assessments.

Our process is designed to find the root cause of your EV or hybrid vehicle’s issue. We take the time to investigate thoroughly and efficiently, without guesswork or unnecessary costs.

step 1

Information Gathering

Just like detectives, we start by gathering all the facts using our dedicated EV & hybrid assessment forms — when the fault happens, under what conditions, and any dashboard warnings or symptoms. This gives our technicians the complete picture before work begins.

step 2

Assessment Time Proposal

Once we’ve reviewed your information, we’ll let you know how much initial assessment time is needed to investigate the issue properly, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.

step 3

Customer Approval & Booking

Once you’re happy with the proposed assessment time, we’ll book your vehicle in. Nothing goes ahead until you’ve confirmed you’re happy with the plan.

step 4

The Assessment Begins

We carry out the diagnostic work and report our findings. You’ll never be charged for more time than you approved, and we don’t fit parts or carry out repairs without your authorisation.

step 5

Next Steps​

Every assessment is different. Once we’ve investigated, we’ll advise you on the best route forward — whether it’s a fix, further diagnosis, or something else entirely. You’ll have all the information you need to make the right decision for your vehicle.
