Will an ECU repair cure my vehicle fault?
All ECUs received by us are tested for the fault specified when completing the booking form / purchasing a repair. Providing this information allows us to carry out testing as accurately as possible. We only repair ECUs which test faulty. If we cannot find a faulty with your unit or believe the fault is on the vehicle, we will try and advise methods to cure it. By carrying out testing before and after a repair, we can give you a definitive answer if the ECU repair will cure the vehicle fault.
Do I have to pay upfront?
You can either pay upfront if the repair is advertised on our site or once a repair is complete. To pay upfront, please purchase a repair through our site. To pay on completion, please complete our booking form.
How does your process work?
Once an ECU has been booked in with us, we can optionally arrange collection of the ECU via courier service. After we receive the unit and using the fault information provided in the booking form / checkout process, we thoroughly test the ECU to confirm it is faulty.
If we find the unit to be faulty, we carry out a repair and if successful, we then carry out further testing to ensure the repair has worked. We test as many functions of the ECU we can.
If the ECU has been booked in through the booking form, we contact you to take payment and arrange return shipping. If the ECU repair has been purchased online, we contact you once the unit has been complete and send the unit back. Shipping is via Royal Mail Special Delivery.
Why should I get my ECU repaired rather than purchase a replacement?
Getting an ECU repaired is a much cheaper alternative compared to a replacement. Replacement ECUs also incur additional costs such as programming the ECU to your car. Repairing your original ECU removes these additional costs and keeps your original programming so the ECU just requires fitting to the vehicle.
Additionally, repairing an ECU is better for the environment compared to buying a replacement primarily because it reduces resource consumption and electronic waste. By repairing the ECU, only the faulty components are addressed, minimizing the need for new materials and energy-intensive manufacturing processes. This approach also helps in conserving resources and reducing carbon emissions associated with the production and transportation of new units. Overall, repairing promotes a more sustainable approach by extending the lifespan of electronic components and minimizing their environmental footprint.
