These include things such as your vehicle&#39;s lights, central locking, windows, heaters, sunroofs, stereos, alarms, engine management, and sensors - the list is almost endless! One look at the modern fuse box confirms how many separate electrical circuits are contained within your vehicle.Finding electrical faults can be time-consuming, this is where having the latest technology and experience combined with technical know-how helps K Services provide an efficient fault-finding service. I am confident in my ability to diagnose the cause of your electrical fault and rectify it putting your vehicle back on the road as quickly as possible.Vehicle Diagnostics The first you may be aware of a fault is when the engine management warning light shows on your dashboard, this means a fault has been registered and stored.Some vehicles enter what is known as a &quot;limp home mode&quot; - this could restrict the rev range to protect your engine from damage and will mean you have limited power so caution must be taken when driving under these conditions.If you experience any of the above after turning off your vehicle&#39;s engine, restarting the vehicle and the engine management light remains on or you continue to be in limp mode, K Services recommends having diagnostics run on your vehicle at your earliest convenience to ensure the safety of the vehicle, yourself and passengers.Vehicle Diagnostics - Fault findingK Services uses the very latest electronic diagnostic equipment to safely access your vehicle&#39;s ECU. The diagnostic equipment reads information from the vehicle including fault codes, this information allows me to better understand exactly what the problems are with the vehicle from a faulty sensor to anything more serious that could potentially become a severe issue.Modern vehicles store information on their ECU (Electronic Control Unit)Modern fuel-injected cars all have an ECU which is like the brain of the vehicle, controlling all the parameters to keep it running smoothly. When a fault occurs it is registered on the ECU like a memory, vehicle diagnostic technicians can plug into the brain of your vehicle and read the stored memories which can alert us to any ongoing or previous faults.It is a good idea as part of any service to run diagnostics allowing me to diagnose any previous faults that have been stored on the vehicle, this could also provide an early warning of potential future problems.Thank you for taking the time to consider my profile.I look forward to hearing from you.

A few jobs carried out by K Services.

K Services

This is the 2nd time we have called on Keith to help with my Fiesta. Both times I have received  excellent service. Completely trustworthy, very knowledgeable and very fair pricing. Would have no hesitation at all in recommending Keith.

Excellent, reliable service

Helped me out last minute with alleging my brakes and squeezed me in when he diddnt need to, exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to person who was open and honest at all times

Brake bleed hero

Keith helped me taking off a very stubborn oil filter on my lexus ct200h.  He's a sound bloke with loads of knowledge and I will definitely call him again. Super recommended!

Stuck oil filter

Keith turned up and did the diagnostics and charged me £82 for it but then didn't turn up the following week to do the actual work. He doesn't answer his phone to me so I have no way of seeking redress.
He didn't give me a written diagnostic so I will probably have to pay someone else to do it.
Despite asking him if he had the experience to do the work I suspect that he couldn't hence the no-show.

Very unreliable and maybe taking easy money for just doing diagnostics

Needed help fixing failed headlights on MOT. Phoned Keith who was incredibly helpful and offered to visit next day. Problem sorted within a couple of hours and he fixed the other failures on the MOT too. 

Really helpful, efficient and friendly service. Will be using KServices again!

Kservices - MOT fix

Title: Outstanding service from KServices

My car failed its MOT due to an electrical fault, and I had less than two weeks to get it fixed and retested. KServices was brilliant. He fitted me in early one morning before his other commitments, identified and fixed the fault within an hour, and got everything sorted quickly and professionally. The price was very fair, and the work was spot on. Superb experience from start to finish. I could not recommend KServices and Keith highly enough.
