Core
Fault finding
Warning lights, intermittent faults and “it only does it sometimes” — we diagnose, we don’t just clear codes.

Mobile car diagnostics in Eastbourne & CoventryFind the fault. Then decide the fix.
Advanced diagnostics at your driveway across Eastbourne, Sussex, Coventry and the Midlands. Live data and a written next step — not a basic code reader visit.

What we offer
Diagnostics that explain the car
Specialist
Live data
Sensor values, adaptations and guided tests on dealer-level kit where the platform supports it.
With remaps
Pre-remap health
Health check before a tune so we are not mapping over a failing injector, DPF or turbo.
Outcome
Clear next step
You leave with what is wrong (or what we ruled out) and what to do next — repair, parts or further test.
Workflow
How a diagnostic visit works
- 01
Describe the fault
Make, model, year, lights on the dash, when it happens. A short video of the symptom helps.
- 02
Book a slot
We confirm coverage from Eastbourne or Coventry and give you a window — not “sometime this week”.
- 03
We come to you
Home, work or workshop. Laptop and diagnostic kit on site.
- 04
Test and explain
Codes, live data and guided checks. We explain in plain English and write it on the job.
Why Apex
Specialist kit. Plain English.
We would rather tell you we need a ramp than sell you a guess. Quote first where we can; call if the car is undriveable.
Two bases
Eastbourne (Sussex) and Coventry (Midlands). Wider UK where a field technician is listed.
Not a £20 reader
We use professional tools. A cheap OBD dongle that says “P0420” is not a diagnosis.
Honest limits
Some faults need a ramp, parts or a second visit. We will say that instead of guessing.
Booked time
Typical first visit 45–90 minutes depending on access and how intermittent the fault is.
FAQ
Diagnostics questions
- Do you just clear the engine light?
- No. Clearing a code without finding the cause is how lights come back the next day. We diagnose first. We only clear codes as part of a proper test plan.
- Do you cover Eastbourne and Coventry?
- Yes — those are the two bases. Check the live coverage map for your postcode, or call 07342 340449.
- Can you diagnose at my house?
- Yes, if we can park safely and access the OBD port. Tight underground car parks can be a problem — tell us when you book.
- What if you can’t find the fault on the first visit?
- We tell you what we tested, what is still possible, and whether a second visit, a workshop ramp or a specialist test is needed. You are not charged for a pretend answer.
- Is this the same as a remap visit?
- No. Diagnostics is fault finding. Remapping is a separate calibration job. We often recommend a health check before a remap.
