FAQ — Check engine light

We can clear codes after discussing likely causes. Clearing alone may mask issues — we recommend diagnosis-first.

We support most Kia hybrid and petrol models for OBD diagnostics. Hybrid high-voltage systems are assessed visually and flagged for specialised repair where needed.

Typical full diagnostics take 30–60 minutes depending on modules and live-data requirements. Mobile visits may include short test drives if safe and necessary.

"We treat each check engine light as a clue — our goal is a clear explanation and a realistic path to repair. Reports help both drivers and workshops."
