Engine Diagnostics
At RFT Motors, we specialise in accurate, detail-driven engine diagnostics for BMW, Porsche, Mercedes, and VW/Audi Group vehicles.
Modern cars rely on complex electronic systems, so when a warning light appears or performance drops, you need a garage with the right tools and technical insight to get to the root of the problem quickly and correctly.
Our workshop in Shackerstone, Nuneaton, is equipped with genuine dealer-level diagnostic systems, including VCDS and ODIS for Volkswagen Group vehicles, Xentry for Mercedes, and ISTA for BMW. These advanced tools allow our expert technicians to communicate directly with your car’s onboard computer, read manufacturer-specific fault codes, and perform live data checks to pinpoint issues that generic scanners simply can’t detect.
As a trusted independent garage, we deliver main-dealer diagnostic accuracy with personal, transparent service and competitive pricing. Whether your dashboard light has come on, your car isn’t performing as it should, or you just want reassurance before a long trip, our team will diagnose and resolve the issue efficiently and professionally.
