What Our Vehicle Diagnostics Cover

We carry out vehicle diagnostics in Swansea on a wide range of electrical systems, including:

Diagnostic equipment reads fault codes and live data from supported control modules. We interpret those findings alongside electrical tests and the reported symptoms; a fault code alone does not establish the cause.

CODING & SOFTWARE UPDATES

For supported vehicles and procedures, we can assess requirements for coding, programming and software updates. Manufacturer access, permissions and compatibility are checked for the individual job, which may include:

We explain the supported options and quote for the agreed work. Availability and cost depend on the vehicle, procedure and any manufacturer requirements.

For Trade & Public

We support drivers and independent garages in Swansea and the surrounding area, including Neath, Port Talbot and Llanelli. Complex or intermittent faults may require staged testing; we discuss findings and further work before proceeding.

Our Fault finding process

Modern vehicles require knowledge of the systems. Reading fault codes just isn’t enough. 

No up sell. No jargon. Just clear, honest diagnostics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vehicle diagnostics are charged FROM £96 including VAT per hour (£80 excluding VAT). This is an hourly starting rate, not a fixed total price. The time required depends on the fault and the testing needed; specialist work may be charged at a higher agreed rate. We confirm the initial diagnostic scope and discuss any additional work with you before proceeding.

Some faults can be resolved during the initial appointment, but same-day repair is not guaranteed. Testing, parts availability and programming requirements affect turnaround. We explain the findings and agree any further work with you.

Absolutely. We regularly assist garages, traders, & many other companies in person or remotely.

Reading fault codes is one part of diagnosis. Identifying the cause may also require technical information, live-data analysis, wiring checks and electrical measurements. Diagnostic charges reflect the time and testing needed to investigate the fault, rather than simply connecting a scan tool.

I can't recommend Lehane Autos highly enough - we had a number of fiddly electrical jobs that needed doing on our VW T6, including providing & mapping a 2nd key and Alex sorted them all out perfectly, for a fraction of what it would have cost at a VW main dealer. Also a great guy to work with and we've already recommended him to a number of our VW friends. Lehane Autos is now our go-to for any future electrical work. Can't fault him!

My car was off the road for 6 years during which time I had lost the keys. I had the car transported to a Nissan dealership, their assessment was a new engine wiring loom was required before a new key could be reprogrammed! I proceeded to contact other car garages, unfortunately none offered promising advice, then a friend recommended Lehane. Alex visited me, removed the BCM and ECU then took them back to Lehane's premises for reprogramming to a new genuine Nissan key which they obtained. Alex returned to reinstall the components, after which the car started first time and I was able to drive it. Alex was friendly, polite and I had complete confidence in his ability. The cost of the repair and callouts were not high, worth every penny! I am very satisfied and highly recommend Lehane Autos.

Couldn’t get my s2000 started for weeks. Took it to Lehane Autos and he’s managed to diagnose it and rectify the issue and get me back on the road in time for a car show. Really nice guy, really fair price. Definitely recommend & going back for more work really soon. Thanks so much!

Exceptionally happy with the service received with Lehane Autos today. Alex sorted out a problem many others could not get to the root of. He was very clear in his explanation and transparent with pricing. I can highly recommend this garage for anyone looking for a great honest mechanic.

I’ve had Lehane Auto do alot of work on the electrics from my 2010 Volvo xc60. ECM and srs module both decided to give up at the same time . Spoke to Lehane about both problems and a solution was found. Took the car there and within a matter of hours both issues were rectified and the vehicle was driving amazing once again. 0 hassle, 0 time wasted. Incredibly efficient and a very good price. Truly a happy customer. Will be back in the future for other work on other vehicles . Very friendly and professional , would recommend to anyone needing any type of vehicle work. Thankyou

Took my wife's Range Rover in with audio issues, Lehane were able to drill down to the specific issue so I could fix it, and found the cause of another, unrelated issue also allowing me to get that sorted alongside. Great communication, helpful and friendly chap. Highly recommended.
