Customer Feedback
Verified Google reviews for Ford work.
5.0 on Google · 77 reviewsView Google profile“Service is great, very knowledgeable and helpful in troubleshooting my 2019 Ford Focus ST. Had a steering wheel fault and was able to diagnose through my scan tool firmware version to verify if it needed an update. Was able to talk me through some wiring schematics over the phone on cleaning some connectors also that had some corrosion.”

Frequently Asked Questions

On compatible SYNC systems we can activate Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Yes. We program and code replacement BCM, PCM and ABS modules as part of our Ford coding and diagnostics service.
We run a complete vehicle health scan across ECUs using Ford IDS, then clear or code as required based on findings.
Suitable jobs can be done by secure remote session; larger flashes and module work are completed at our North West workshop with battery support. Call to confirm the best route for your model.
A basic reader shows generic engine codes only. Ford IDS reads every module on the vehicle and live data, so we can find faults in body, ABS, gearbox and other systems that a generic scanner never sees.
