The engine is a complex machine. It can be working fine one minute (at least you think it is) and then it starts making strange noises and your car struggles to get up to speed. This isn’t always because your car is old! It maybe because something is wrong with it and it needs an engine repair.

ATSC Tyres & Service Centre in Manchester offers a complete engine diagnostic service for your needs. If you need information or would like to book your car in for a test, please contact us today.

Your Questions Answered
What is an engine diagnostic check?

An engine diagnostic check involves connecting your car to our specialist computer equipment to read error codes from the engine control unit (ECU). These codes help us pinpoint exactly what’s going wrong with your vehicle—no guesswork.

When should I get a diagnostic check done?

Book an engine diagnostic check if:

  • Your engine warning light is on

  • The car is losing power or running rough

  • You notice strange noises, smells, or vibrations

  • You’re using more fuel than usual

Basically, if something feels off, it’s better to check it early before it becomes a costly repair.

How long does an engine diagnostic test take?

Most diagnostic tests take 30 minutes to an hour depending on the complexity of the issue. If we find anything major, we’ll explain what needs fixing and why—no pressure or jargon.

Will a diagnostic tell me everything that’s wrong with the car?

It’s a powerful starting point. While diagnostics give a clear picture of electronic and sensor faults, some mechanical issues may still require a technician’s inspection. At ATSC, we use both tech and experience to get it right.

Can you fix the problem once it’s diagnosed?

Absolutely. Whether it’s a sensor replacement, engine misfire, or deeper mechanical issue, our team can carry out any necessary repairs. We’ll always give you a full breakdown of the issue and costs upfront.

Do you charge for engine diagnostics?

Yes, we charge a small fee for a full diagnostic check—but that fee is often waived or deducted if you choose to carry out the repairs with us. No surprises. Just ask when you call to book.

Is the diagnostic check safe for my car?

Totally safe. Our diagnostic tools are manufacturer-compliant and designed to communicate with your car’s onboard systems without causing any harm.

Do you provide diagnostics for all makes and models?

Yes. We cover a wide range of vehicles—from Fords and Vauxhalls to BMWs, Audis, and beyond. Just give us your reg when booking so we’re prepared.

What happens after the diagnostic?

We’ll walk you through the results in plain English, not technical mumbo-jumbo. Whether it’s a minor fix or something more involved, you decide what happens next.

How do I book an engine diagnostic check in Manchester?

Simple. Just give us a call or pop down to the garage. We’ll book you in as soon as possible—same-day slots often available.
