Vehicle Diagnostics Services

Technical Diagnostic Specialists

There’s far more to vehicle diagnostics services than simply plugging in a diagnostic tool and reading a fault code. Many companies promote a 'Free Car Diagnostic Check.' In practice, this often equates to performing a fault code analysis and replacing the component associated with that code. However, a fault code doesn’t necessarily pinpoint the root cause of an issue — it merely serves as a starting point for further investigation. At Foundry Automotive, we take a different approach through our specialist diagnostic testing, which is at the core of everything we do.

Diagnostics Testing

“Free” diagnostics can quickly become expensive if unnecessary parts are fitted. Foundry Automotive specializes in vehicle diagnostics services, built around our expertise in specialist diagnostic testing. While we also offer tuning, repairs, and vehicle security, our primary focus is on accurately identifying the root cause of any issue and resolving it efficiently.


Over the years, we’ve developed and refined our diagnostic methods to tackle virtually any fault, across a wide range of vehicle makes and models. We invest heavily in the specialized equipment, technical information, and manufacturer-specific systems necessary for effective vehicle diagnostics.


The equipment and information required can vary considerably from one vehicle to another. That’s why we maintain access to a comprehensive array of manufacturer diagnostic systems, dealer-level tooling, and factory technical information. This enables us to conduct detailed fault code analysis based on the specific vehicle and problem, rather than relying on guesswork or replacing parts unnecessarily.


Our standard diagnostic service is charged by the hour and includes access to all of our specialist equipment, technical information, and expertise. Our aim is clear: to determine the cause of the problem as quickly and cost-effectively as possible while avoiding needless parts and labor.


If all you need is a straightforward fault-code read, that’s absolutely fine too. We can perform a diagnostic scan and provide you with a written report detailing the codes and our findings. If further investigation is necessary, we’ll explain what’s involved before proceeding.
