Car diagnostics in Wellington city built on both tools and know‑how
Running diagnostics is never just plugging in a reader and waiting for a code. Modern systems might point you the right way, but real answers need a deeper look to figure out what the numbers actually mean.
Years of working on all sorts of makes and models means common issues are recognised quickly and tested first. That saves you time and, often, a fair bit of money.
A full vehicle diagnostic check can uncover dashboard warning lights and engine management issues, rough idling, erratic performance or misfires, electrical or sensor communication faults and airbag, ABS or traction control problems.
Even if no fault code appears, a complete mechanical and electrical check follows to find what’s truly behind the problem. The mix of technology with instinct built over years gives dependable long‑term fixes.

Honest and straightforward engine checks
A glowing engine light is not always what you imagine and often needs further investigation. Your engine check at The Car Therapy Centre is managed carefully with clear explanations at every stage so you actually understand what the readings mean.
You will receive a walk‑through of findings explained in plain English, genuine repair choices rather than unnecessary replacements and confirmed price and time estimates before anything begins. If electrical issues take longer to hunt down, you will get updates so you know where things stand.

Trusted scans and reliable warning light repair

Key diagnostic strengths include check engine light analysis and performance testing, electrical and sensor fault tracing, mechanical fault confirmation and misfire and fuel calibration testing. If your car needs software programming or hybrid‑specific work, you will be told upfront. Get in contact today.
