Can you diagnose an engine warning light?
Yes. A full scan can identify stored fault codes and, where useful, supporting live data or freeze-frame information. The code itself does not always prove which part has failed, so the findings are interpreted before advice is given.
What makes and models do you work with?
Strong Scan supports a wide range of makes and models. Manufacturer-specific coding, adaptations and special functions depend on the vehicle, module and available support, so specialist compatibility is checked before booking.
What if the service I need is not in the price list?
The website shows common packages and guide prices, not every possible job. Choose Other / Not Listed in the enquiry form and describe what you need. The vehicle, location and work can then be checked before a custom quote is confirmed.
Do you also do servicing and repairs?
Yes. Routine mobile servicing and selected repairs are available where the job and working location are suitable. Typical work includes oil and filters, brake pads/discs, battery replacement and registration, and selected sensor or component replacement.
Can I supply my own parts?
Often, yes, by prior agreement. Send the registration and part details first so fitment and the labour quote can be confirmed before the booking.
Can you clear fault codes?
Yes, where appropriate. Clearing a code does not repair the underlying cause, so codes are not simply erased when doing so would hide a fault that still needs attention.
Can you do coding, service resets or battery registration?
Many supported coding activations, service functions, resets and adaptations are available. Send the registration and the exact function you want so compatibility can be checked first.
Can you activate or install CarPlay / Android Auto?
On selected vehicles, yes. Some systems can be enabled through supported coding or activation, while others require compatible retrofit hardware. Send the registration and, where possible, a photo of the current infotainment system so the correct route can be checked before quoting.
Can you regenerate a DPF?
DPF assessment is carried out first. A forced regeneration is only attempted when the vehicle condition and diagnostic information indicate that it is suitable.
Can you inspect a car before I buy it?
A pre-purchase diagnostic check can scan electronic systems, assess stored faults and module communication, and provide a findings summary. It does not replace a full mechanical, structural, bodywork or roadworthiness inspection.
I cannot identify the warning light — what should I do?
Send a clear photo of the dashboard on WhatsApp with the registration and a short description of what the car is doing. You do not need to know the technical name of the warning.
How much is travel?
Local travel within the standard 0–10 mile band is included, 10–20 miles is +£10, and further travel is quoted individually. The exact travel charge and availability are confirmed from your postcode before booking.
