Our History

Standish Service Station Limited was founded in 1958. Known as Delph Service Station with ESSO petrol on sale situated on Preston Road, Standish and had just one lubrication bay. The petrol station and lubrication bay became increasingly busy, due to the dedication of both my Mother and Father. As the garage continued to prosper additions were made.

Diagnostics

Posted By: admin on April 20, 2009 in Uncategorized - Comments: No Comments »

Just like your computer at home or at the office, gremlins can strike and when this happens to a motor vehicle it normally illuminates a light on the dash which is normally a picture of an engine to say that a fault has occurred and it requires taking into a Diagnostic centre to be interrogated for the fault.

This is when specialist equipment is then used which is plugged into the vehicles on-board socket and speaks with the vehicles on-board computers to find out what has happened.

Now there is a myth with people that once the vehicles system is read, it actually tells the technician what is wrong with it and how to rectify the fault……………This is not true!!

Once the system is read, it will give the technician a code or several codes depending on the fault. This is where a good technician and his Diagnostic Equipment differ greatly from someone who just reads a code like a book.

Being Bosch trained and attending regular courses to make sure that they have the latest skills, our technicians will analyse the codes and then they can also go into the vehicles system and look at LIVE DATA of a particular component or components depending on the codes given to determine

If the component is faulty
If the component has given a error message due to another component
If the component is working ok but there seems to be a problem with the power to it (wiring)

This enables us to correctly diagnose the fault and rectify it 1st time instead of just replacing a component that the computer has said it has a fault with but not necessarily being faulty, thus hopefully saving you the customer money and also your vehicle rectified efficiently.
