Professional diagnostic equipment brought to your door. Whether it's an engine warning light, an electrical gremlin, or a full system scan before a service — PAD identifies the exact fault fast, in plain English, from £25. No call-out fee. If we can't find a fault, you don't pay.
Most cheap code readers only access the engine management system. PAD's professional equipment reads every control module on your vehicle — 56+ brands, all systems, full bi-directional access.
The same professional hardware used by independent workshops — full bi-directional control, live data streaming and actuator testing. Not a £30 Bluetooth dongle.
No jargon, no guesswork. We tell you exactly what the fault code means, what is causing it, and what it will likely cost to fix — so you walk into any garage fully informed.
No recovery truck needed. We visit your home, workplace, or wherever your car is across Pontypridd, Treforest, Llantrisant, Aberdare, Porth, Tonypandy and all of RCT.
Full Diagnostic and Pre-Purchase bookings include a detailed emailed report — useful for service records, negotiating a price, or handing straight to a repair garage.
An engine warning light can mean anything from a loose fuel cap to a failing catalytic converter. Only a professional scan tells you which — and PAD finds the exact fault at your door from £25.
If the engine warning light is steady and the car drives normally, it is likely safe to complete your journey. Book a diagnostic as soon as possible — do not leave it for weeks. Even a minor fault can worsen.
A flashing engine warning light usually indicates a serious misfire that can destroy the catalytic converter within minutes. Stop, switch off the engine, and do not drive further until the vehicle has been checked.
Modern vehicles have dozens of electronic modules communicating constantly. When one fails, it can trigger warning lights across the entire dashboard. PAD reads every module, pinpoints the root cause, and tells you exactly what needs fixing.
