What we’ve sorted recently
Battery diagnosis — BMW 420
Batteries don't last forever, and they've got a habit of throwing up symptoms that look like something far worse. This BMW 420 is a good example. The main dealer had quoted for a much pricier repair, but our diagnostic traced the fault straight back to the battery. We replaced it the same day and had the customer back on the road without the big bill they'd been bracing for. It pays to check the simple things before throwing money at the complicated ones.
