Solihull runs on the motorway network: the M42 and M40 put half the region within reach, the Airport and NEC generate round-the-clock journeys, and the A34 Stratford Road and A41 carry the daily flow through Shirley and Olton. Cars here cover serious mileage — and serious mileage brings diagnostic work: DPFs on high-mile diesels, AdBlue systems on newer ones, batteries worked hard by airport runs at unsociable hours.
Our mobile service fits that pattern. We diagnose at homes across Solihull, at offices near the town centre and Touchwood, and at workplaces toward the Airport — full scans of engine, diesel and AdBlue and safety systems, with component testing to prove causes rather than quote around them.
Solihull also buys a lot of used cars, and its pre-purchase inspections are among our most-booked: a documented full-system scan at the seller's address, before a five-figure decision is made on trust.

High-mile diesel care
DPF loading, EGR and injector health read from live data on the diesels that commute the M42 daily.
AdBlue countdowns
The no-start countdown diagnosed at module level — NOx sensors, dosing and pumps tested, not just topped up.

Independent scans on cars you're buying from Solihull's dealers and traders — at the forecourt, before you sign.

Car diagnostics in Solihull — FAQs
Do you cover Shirley, Olton and the villages as well as Solihull town?
Yes — the whole borough: Shirley, Olton, Knowle and Dorridge side, Monkspath, Damson Parkway and the Airport/NEC corridor. If the car is in the Solihull area, the diagnostic visit comes to it.
My AdBlue countdown has started. Can you come to Solihull quickly?
Countdowns are treated as urgent because they end in a no-start. We read the SCR system directly, test NOx sensors, dosing and the pump, and identify the component behind the countdown — topping up alone rarely cancels a hardware fault, as our AdBlue guide explains.
Can you inspect a car at a Solihull dealer's premises?
Yes, and reputable dealers are used to it. The pre-purchase scan takes under an hour, reads every system plus stored history, and gives you a written summary — useful whether the car is perfect or the findings justify a price conversation.
My car does big motorway miles. What should diagnostics watch?
On high-mileage cars the wear items are electronic as much as mechanical: DPF ash loading accumulating, injector balance drifting, EGR coking, turbo actuator wear. A health-check scan reads those figures directly, which is far more informative than waiting for the light.
The car failed to start before an early flight. Can you prevent a repeat?
That's the right question to ask after any non-start. We test battery condition, charging output and overnight drain — the three usual culprits — and name which one let you down, so the fix addresses the cause rather than the symptom of one bad morning.
Do you work weekends in Solihull?
Every day, at all hours — the service is 24/7 by design. Weekend diagnostics at home are among the most popular Solihull bookings, particularly pre-purchase scans tied to Saturday viewings.
