What is diagnostic scan?

Fault codes read with a diagnostic tool to help pinpoint a warning light or issue. A good first step before repairs.

Signs you need it

  • Check engine light
  • Other warning lights
  • Before buying a used car

How it works

  1. Scanner connected to the vehicle
  2. Fault codes read and explained
  3. Advice on next steps
  4. Quote if repairs are needed

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Vehicle make and systems scanned
  • Mobile service

Tips

  • A code points to an area, not always a part
  • Clearing codes doesn't fix the fault
  • Keep a record of codes found

Why it matters

A scan is a quick first step to understand a warning light before it becomes a bigger repair.

FAQ

Diagnostic Scan: your questions

Didn't find your answer?

Help centre
Does a scan tell me exactly what's wrong?

It reads fault codes that point to a system or area. A mechanic then confirms the cause before any repair.

My warning light went off — should I still scan?

Yes, stored codes can reveal an intermittent problem before it gets worse.

Can clearing the code fix the problem?

No. Clearing a code only turns the light off; the fault stays until it's repaired.

Can diagnostic scan be done at my home or work?

Yes. Mobile professionals can do diagnostic scan at your home, work or depot, or you can visit a workshop. Choose "At my place" when you request quotes.

How is the price of diagnostic scan set on MYLES?

Each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price or a range — or sends a quote when the job depends on your vehicle. You see it before you book.
