Auto Gas Specialists

Modern vehicles rely heavily on complex electronics and computer controlled systems, so when a warning light appears on your dashboard, it is important to have it checked by a workshop that understands how to diagnose it properly. At Auto Gas Specialists in Washdyke, we offer advanced diagnostic testing for drivers across Timaru and South Canterbury. Our team works on a wide range of vehicles, including European models that require specialised knowledge and equipment.

When a vehicle reports a fault, it stores information in its onboard computer. Using up to date diagnostic scan tools, we can read these fault codes and begin identifying the cause of the problem. However, diagnostics is more than simply plugging in a scanner. Our technicians combine the data with hands on testing to confirm the root cause of the issue. This may involve inspecting sensors, wiring, fuel systems, ignition components, air flow meters or emissions controls. By taking the time to verify the fault, we can recommend the right repair and avoid unnecessary part replacements.

European vehicles such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen, Skoda and Volvo often require specific procedures and higher level scan capability. We have the tools and expertise to carry out diagnostics on these systems, whether the problem relates to performance, warning lights, electrical functions, engine management or transmission behaviour. Our aim is to provide accurate testing so the repair is completed correctly the first time.

If you have been experiencing rough running, loss of power, high fuel consumption or intermittent electrical problems, diagnostics can help pinpoint what is going on. Our team will explain the results clearly and outline the options available to you. We only carry out repair work once you approve it, and we use quality parts that support the long term reliability of your vehicle. Many customers from Washdyke, Timaru, Gleniti, Seaview and surrounding areas trust us with both everyday cars and high specification European models.

A warning light or unusual noise should not be ignored, as small issues can quickly lead to more serious damage. If your vehicle is not performing as it should, or the dashboard lights have come on, book a diagnostic check with Auto Gas Specialists today. Phone 03 688 2528 or email autogas.accounts@xtra.co.nz and our team will get your vehicle back to running at its best.
