Computer diagnostics

We find the cause, not just the symptom.

Computer diagnostics at RedHat Garage in Sugiez means much more than reading fault codes — it's a thorough analysis of electronics, sensors and engine behaviour to find the root cause of the problem, not just its symptom. Bruno and his team tell you clearly what needs fixing and why — no scare tactics, no hidden costs. We serve vehicle owners from Sugiez, Vully, Murten, Bas-Vully and the entire canton of Fribourg.

Frequently asked questions

What does a computer diagnostic cost?

The cost of a computer diagnostic depends on your vehicle and the scope of the required checks. Following an initial analysis, you will receive a clear report and a written cost estimate. We only proceed with any work after you have given your approval, which gives you complete control over the expenses. For a precise assessment, we need your vehicle's details, preferably a copy of the registration document. Please contact us in writing to provide this information.

Can I come in for a diagnostic at short notice?

An appointment for a diagnostic is usually available within a few working days. Please submit your request in writing via WhatsApp or by using the 'Request an Appointment' form on our website. To help us find the most suitable solution and propose a specific time slot, please describe the symptoms and send us a photo of your vehicle's registration document. This is the fastest way for us to assist you, especially in urgent cases.

What does a computer diagnostic at your garage include?

Our computer diagnostic service involves more than just reading fault codes. We analyse the interaction between the electronics, sensors, and engine performance to identify the root cause of a problem, not just its symptom. Afterwards, Bruno and the team will provide you with an easy-to-understand report. It explains what needs to be repaired and why, allowing you to make well-informed decisions without being overwhelmed by technical jargon.

The check engine light is on. What should I do?

If the check engine light comes on, you should have a professional diagnostic performed to determine the cause. You may continue to drive with caution, provided the vehicle is operating normally. Please contact us in writing via WhatsApp or our online form with your vehicle details and a brief description of the situation. We will analyse the fault code and the underlying system data to accurately identify the problem and suggest a repair solution.

Do you perform diagnostics for all car makes and models?

We perform diagnostics of vehicle electronics, sensors, and engine functions. We will gladly confirm in writing whether a complete diagnosis is possible for your specific vehicle. Please send us your vehicle data via WhatsApp or the 'Appointment Request' form on our website. After checking compatibility, you will receive written feedback from us regarding the feasibility of the diagnosis.

Is a remote diagnostic by phone possible?

Unfortunately, a reliable remote diagnostic by phone is not possible, as we require direct physical access to the vehicle. Our computer diagnostic procedure involves connecting specialised equipment to your car's electronics to analyse sensor data and system behaviour in real time. This is the only way for us to accurately pinpoint the source of a fault and provide a sound recommendation. A verbal description of symptoms is not sufficient for a precise analysis.
