Do you have a warning message or light staying illuminated on your dash? This is indicating something is wrong with an electronically controlled system in your vehicle. Getting your vehicle checked is important as the fault could pose a risk to your safety or the longevity of your car.

Don’t try to guess what is wrong, let us carry out a complete vehicle diagnostic check to pinpoint the fault and establish with you the best way to rectify it.

We can diagnose and repair faults in the engine, transmission, airbag (SRS), ABS, TRC, EPS, and many other systems of almost all vehicle types.

Over time, components in your engine can deteriorate and cause driveability issues.  You may be experiencing shuddering or surging, strange noises, difficulty starting, or poor fuel economy. However, even modern computer-controlled engines and drivetrains can sometimes fail to bring on an engine light or alert you to these faults.

E Motive has the tools and expertise to diagnose and rectify most faults in modern engines and transmissions.

Have a talk with us if you suspect your vehicle is not performing at its best.

Are your electric windows not working or stuck down? Interior blower fan not working? Door locks jammed or inoperative? Is the fuel gauge inaccurate?

Most parts in modern vehicles work via computer-controlled systems. This makes correctly diagnosing a fault much more difficult if you don’t have the proper tools.

We have the tools and ability to fix almost any electrical fault in-vehicle systems such as heating and air conditioning, instrument clusters, audio, electric windows, door locks, keyless entry, alarm systems, window wipers, lighting, illumination, and more!

The heart of your vehicle’s electrical system is the battery. If you are having issues with your vehicle not starting or being slow to start it is likely a battery issue. Perhaps your vehicle battery goes flat quickly or doesn’t start again after having the radio on briefly.

Don’t just replace the battery without checking. Let us test your battery’s state of health, test if it is being charged properly, and test to see if anything in the vehicle is causing it to go flat.

Talk to us about testing, supplying, and fitting a quality new battery to your vehicle.
