If your vehicle has a warning light, a loss of performance, or just doesn’t feel right, our team can help.

Our manufacturer-trained technicians can detect and diagnose any fault with your vehicle, from warning lights and electrical issues to complex engine and gearbox problems.

A car diagnostic test helps identify any issues with your vehicle, even if it does not show any warning lights or symptoms. This often helps avoid potentially expensive repairs in the future.

At German Automotive, we use ODIS, the official diagnostic system, to deliver dealer-level fault detection for Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Škoda.

ODIS gives us full access to the same diagnostic capabilities used at main dealerships, allowing us to:

  • Diagnose and clear fault codes with guided fault finding
  • Add and code new keys
  • Replace and configure ECUs and control units
  • Perform software updates and coding
  • Access official technical bulletins (TPI)
  • Use SVM (Software Version Management) to check and align software versions across all modules

This system is essential not only for routine diagnostics but also for accurate repairs, module replacements, retrofits, and future-proofing your vehicle.

Also equipped for BMW & Mercedes-Benz

We also offer dealer-level diagnostics for other German brands including:

  1. Mercedes-Benz Star Machine
    A specialist hardware scanner that can diagnose and troubleshoot problems and read and erase fault codes on all Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
  2. BMW Condition-Based Servicing (CBS)
    An intelligent maintenance system which actively analyses data and monitors the degree of wear and tear on your BMW.
