Advanced Fault Detection

When something’s not right, our diagnostics process gives you clarity fast. We’ll scan your vehicle’s systems, explain the issue in plain English, and recommend only the work that’s genuinely needed.

Don’t Ignore the Lights

Dashboard Warning Light Checks

From engine lights to ABS or DPF warnings, we can tell you exactly what’s going on. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we retrieve fault codes and assess the issue before anything is replaced or repaired.

Inside Your Car’s Brain

ECU & Module Scanning

Modern BMWs and MINIs are packed with control units. We scan all major modules - from engine and transmission to airbags and climate - ensuring nothing is overlooked.

Fix What Matters - Not Guesswork

Live Data & Preventative Diagnostics

We use live data readings to detect intermittent issues and developing faults - long before they become expensive problems. It’s all part of our no-nonsense, preventative approach.

Knowledgeable and friendly garage. Will keep you updated on cost and options for your repairs, and the work is to a good standard. I live quite far away, and should probably take my 24 year old BMW to the local garage, but I keep coming back to Glasgow Independent as I know I can trust them. Well done, team, and keep up the good work!
