Fault Diagnosis
Dealer-level diagnostic tools and genuine fault-finding expertise – because clearing a code is not the same as solving the problem.
Modern European vehicles are rolling networks of interconnected control modules. A single warning light can stem from a dozen different causes, and without the right tools and training, the temptation is to replace parts until the problem disappears. That approach wastes your money and your time.
At Prime AutoBase we invest in manufacturer-grade diagnostic equipment and keep our technicians up to date with the latest European systems – from BMW and Mercedes-Benz to Volkswagen Group, Volvo, Peugeot, and beyond. We read the full picture, trace the fault to its origin, and fix the actual cause.
Computer diagnostic scans start from $70 incl GST where the fault can be read and confirmed electronically. If a fault needs deeper investigation – wiring, intermittent or mechanical faults that the computer can’t pinpoint on its own – we’ll quote that separately and agree it with you before we go further.

We use professional-grade, manufacturer-specific diagnostic platforms - not generic OBD readers - giving us the same depth of access as a franchised dealership across all European marques.
Every diagnosis is an investigation, not a parts lottery. We follow the fault through wiring, sensors, actuators, and software until we identify the true source of the problem.
Replacing a control unit is only half the job. We perform the necessary module coding, variant configuration, and software updates to ensure the new component is fully integrated with your vehicle.
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, SEAT, Volvo, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, MINI, and more - if it's European, our technicians know it and our tools cover it.
A full diagnostic session using manufacturer-grade tools. We confirm the cause before any repair work, and quote anything further before we begin - no guesswork, no surprises.
