Full vehicle diagnostic scan
Covers the scan and a plain-English explanation of the results.
Know what's wrong before you decide what to do next
When your vehicle breaks down, it can be hard to know exactly what's gone wrong. 24/7 Southwest Recovery now offers a professional roadside OBD diagnostic scanning service for just £40. We can scan compatible vehicles at the roadside, identify stored diagnostic fault codes and explain the results to you in straightforward language.
In some cases, we may be able to identify and repair the problem at the roadside — potentially getting you back on the road without needing to take your vehicle to a garage. If the problem needs further investigation or a garage repair, we'll explain what the scan is showing so you have a much clearer understanding of the issue before you decide what to do next.

Know what your vehicle is reporting before you visit a garage — our diagnostic service gives you useful information about the fault before you decide whether the vehicle needs to go to a garage. This helps you make a more informed decision about the next step, and gives you something to discuss with the garage based on the diagnostic findings.
An OBD fault code is not always a definitive diagnosis of a failed component — it may identify a system, circuit or area that requires further testing. Not every vehicle fault can be diagnosed or repaired at the roadside. The £40 charge covers the diagnostic scan and explanation of the results; any recovery, repairs, parts or additional labour are quoted separately.
