Google Review

“I had a selector issue on my Golf Mk8, along with faults for the collision sensor and SOS system. North West Car Coding updated the software and cured both sensor issues, reset my service light and sorted everything properly. An absolute gentleman, a true master of diagnosis and a proper problem solver. Not many tradesmen operate like this anymore.”

“Trustworthy and knowledgeable. Managed to remove the brakes fault / safely stop vehicle warning after a bad brake booster pressure sensor — the fault could not be cleared with any tools including VCDS. I was about to order a new brake booster, but they fixed the exact issue remotely. Highly recommended.”

“I contacted them late on Saturday evening about my 2023 Mini Cooper head unit not working. Many people said it could not be done or wanted a ridiculous amount. Northwest responded ASAP, kept me updated, managed expectations and still sorted the issue. Amazing experience — highly recommend.”
