Dealer-Level Diagnostics

Don’t settle for less when it comes to your vehicle’s advanced electronics.

Detail

At CRD TECHNIK, we go beyond generic diagnostic scans.

We offer dealer-level diagnostics, utilising the same sophisticated, brand-specific equipment and software used by main dealerships. This allows us to provide an unparalleled level of precision, insight, and functionality for your vehicle’s complex electronic systems.

What is Dealer-Level Diagnostics?

Unlike universal diagnostic tools that offer limited capabilities, dealer-level diagnostic equipment is:

Brand-Specific: Each major vehicle manufacturer develops its own unique diagnostic platform, designed to interact comprehensively with their specific models. For example, Mercedes-Benz uses their “XENTRY” system, while the Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) employs “ODIS.”
Comprehensive: These tools allow us to delve deep into every control unit and system within your vehicle, performing detailed diagnostics, reading specific fault codes, accessing live data streams, and interpreting complex electronic signals.
Advanced Functionality: Dealer tools enable us to perform functions that generic tools simply cannot achieve, such as:
Module Coding and Programming: Essential for correctly integrating new or used control modules (ECUs) into your vehicle’s network. This ensures they communicate properly and operate as intended.
Software Updates: Applying manufacturer software updates to various vehicle modules.
Guided Fault Finding: Following manufacturer-specific diagnostic routines to pinpoint elusive problems.
Component Activations and Adaptations: Performing tests and calibrations on individual components.

Why Does Dealer-Level Matter?

With the increasing complexity of modern vehicles, having access to these specialised tools is paramount for accurate and efficient repairs. It means:

Pinpoint Accuracy: We can identify the root cause of complex issues quickly, avoiding guesswork and unnecessary part replacements.
Complete Solutions: We can carry out advanced coding and programming that ensures new components are fully integrated and functional.
Restored Performance: Your vehicle receives the precise attention it needs to restore optimal performance and reliability.

We are proud to be one of only a handful of specialists in the UK, and specifically in the North West, that can offer this high-level diagnostic service for all major brands. Our investment in these cutting-edge tools and our technicians’ continuous training ensure that your vehicle receives the most authoritative and effective diagnostic and repair solutions available outside of a main dealership.
