A car that shakes at idle, hesitates when accelerating or runs poorly after starting can have several possible causes. Getafix offers mobile inspections and diagnostic testing to investigate rough running before you commit to replacing parts.
Describe the symptom. Let the testing guide the repair.
Tell us how the problem feels and when it happens: at a cold start, once warm, while idling or under acceleration. Mention any warning lights, unusual smells or recent changes in fuel use. Those details help us plan the checks and decide whether the concern can be investigated at your location.
Stored fault codes and live data can help direct an investigation, but the same rough-running symptom may have different causes. We combine the information available from the vehicle with relevant mechanical and electrical checks. We discuss what the testing has established and any further work needed rather than treating a code as a parts list.
Let us know about recent repairs, servicing, a flat battery, work on wiring or parts that have already been replaced. If the issue is intermittent, note the conditions and send a short recording when possible. Leave stored fault codes in place where possible so useful history is not lost before the appointment.
After the initial inspection, we explain the findings, any limits to the assessment and whether further tests or a repair are recommended. Extra work requires your approval. An intermittent concern may need more time, and some faults require workshop facilities or specialist access. Tell us the condition of the car when enquiring so we can discuss suitable arrangements.
No. Some problems set useful codes and others do not. A scan is one part of the investigation; the symptoms and relevant mechanical or electrical checks help establish the cause.
Ask us with your registration, suburb and symptom details. We confirm access, mobile suitability and availability before arranging a diagnostic visit.
Tell us about the rough running when you enquire, even if a service is also due. Routine servicing and fault diagnosis have different scopes, so we can discuss the most useful starting point for your car.
Tell us your vehicle’s make, model, year and suburb, along with the work you need. We’ll confirm suitability, access and availability before booking.
