Mobile Car Diagnostics in Burton upon Trent
Warning Lights, Starting Problems and Vehicle Fault-Finding at Your Location
When a warning light appears or your car starts behaving differently, you need more than somebody simply reading a fault code.
Twisted Monkey Garage provides mobile vehicle diagnostics across Burton upon Trent and the surrounding area. I bring professional diagnostic equipment and more than 25 years of mechanical experience directly to your home or workplace.
No guessing. No unnecessary parts. Just proper investigation and straightforward advice.
A Fault Code Is a Clue—Not a Diagnosis
Modern vehicles can store fault codes when their electronic systems detect something unusual. Those codes help identify where an investigation should begin, but they don’t always prove that a particular component has failed.
Replacing the part named in a fault code without carrying out further checks can waste money and leave the original problem unresolved.
That’s why Twisted Monkey Garage combines diagnostic equipment with live information, mechanical knowledge and appropriate testing to investigate the likely cause—not merely clear the warning light and send you on your way.

What a Diagnostic Visit May Include
Depending on the symptoms and vehicle, the visit may include:
Scanning relevant vehicle control systems
Reading and recording stored fault codes
Reviewing available live data
Checking whether faults are current, historic or intermittent
Visual and mechanical inspection of relevant components
Appropriate electrical or component testing
Explaining the findings in plain English
Recommending the most sensible next step
Clearing warning lights where appropriate after assessment or repair
If further dismantling, specialist testing or additional diagnostic time is required, I’ll explain that before carrying out chargeable additional work.
Diagnostic Options
Diagnostic Assessment — £65
For warning lights, poor running, performance problems, electrical symptoms and other vehicle faults requiring initial investigation.
The aim is to gather evidence, identify the likely cause and explain the appropriate next step. Some complex or intermittent faults may require additional testing beyond the initial visit.
Car Won’t Start Assessment — £65
For vehicles that crank but won’t start, fail to crank or suffer intermittent starting problems.
The assessment may include relevant checks of the battery, starting system, fuel delivery, immobiliser, electrical system and stored vehicle faults.
