Not sure what’s wrong? Diagnostics and warning lights asks a garage to find the cause before anything is repaired.
How posting works
Add your registration and postcode, then pick the job from our list or describe it. It’s free to post, and you create a free account as you post. Garages on Matchanic can see your job: each garage’s Dashboard lists open jobs within its chosen distance of its own postcode, and garages whose distance covers yours may be emailed about it. Each garage decides whether to quote and what to charge, so we can’t promise how many quotes you’ll get, or how soon. You can message a garage about its quote, and nothing is agreed until you accept one. You pay the garage directly.

Matchanic is new and launching in Surrey, so there may be few or no garages on Matchanic near the car yet. See Matchanic in Surrey for the towns and postcodes we’re starting with.
