Vehicle Faults? We’ll Find Them
From time to time unexpected faults will occur with your vehicle. We use the latest technology and fault finding techniques to limit the time taken to diagnose your fault.
We cover the full range of faults from ABS, Airbag or SRS, suspension level control, engine management lights or EML, EPC and other faults which don’t show a warning such as doors not opening or heater faults.
Our initial inspection is £72 plus VAT, enabling us to carry out an hour’s work to diagnose your car’s fault.
We cover the full range of potential faults, ranging from Climate Control, ABS, Airbag, Engine Management, Traction Control. We are also able to diagnose faults which don’t show a warning light, such as faulty windows or unusual noises.
If a warning light does appear on the dash panel, it is important to have it checked as soon as possible. Certain warning lights can signify deeper issues within your car, potentially causing breakdowns in the middle of a journey. Prolonged driving with warning lights showing will also cause further damage to pre-existing issues, meaning more work, and more money spent.
All of our technicians are manufacturer trained, so you can be certain that your vehicle is in good hands. Once diagnosed, you will be given a fixed quote based on our findings for the repair your car needs.
Sometimes, one fault can unfortunately lead to another. If this is indeed the case, you are free to return to Sultas to discuss further work. If you do choose our team to undertake your repair, work will be carried out to the highest standard.
Visit our warning light page to see what you’re dealing with, and feel free to contact us to book an appointment. If you are unsure which light is illuminated please call us on 0113 279 7992.
