Annual car servicing and MOT tests keep your vehicle in good physical condition. The technicians and auto electricians at our MOT garage perform vehicle diagnostics using Snap-On scanners. This equipment helps us to identify the subsystem issues which cause dashboard lights to illuminate. Ignoring these warnings could mean you need us for a breakdown recovery service long before you use us for repairs.
Located in Lancing, Steve’s Auto Lancing offers combined servicing, repair, and light commercial vehicle MOTs, just a few minutes from Worthing. We also provide electric car servicing and electric car repairs.
Using vehicle diagnostics helps our technicians and auto electricians identify potential faults before they become costly repairs. A service and an annual MOT test will reduce the need for a breakdown recovery service. Still, a proactive approach to engine management and booking in for diagnostics once or twice a year will resolve any problems much sooner.
Make the short trip to Lancing to visit our combined servicing, car repair and MOT garage. We can book you in for a diagnostic check at a time to suit your diary.
Please take the time to read the testimonials from customers across West Sussex who have used us for vehicle diagnostics.
One of the biggest advancements seen in our sector over the past couple of decades has been the computerisation of the engine subsystem. Specialist tools and software, through processors, sensors and microchips, can access stored fault codes to accurately pinpoint errors. We call this vehicle diagnostics, and we use the process to “manage” your engine.
While we can use diagnostics after servicing (to reset the service light), and during car and light commercial vehicle MOT tests (to take emission readings), the field of engine management is still very much a standalone service.
Customers from Worthing may notice a dashboard warning light shortly before breaking down at the roadside. Wherever possible, our breakdown recovery driver will take a reading from your ECU to see if we can fix the problem immediately. If we can’t, Steve’s Autos Lancing Ltd will bring your car back to our servicing and MOT garage for repairs.
Alternatively, we can take your car to your home or workplace, or to another preferred garage.
Diagnostics show us where parameters are out of range, and we use our experience to assess the problem. We also provide electric car servicing and electric car repairs.
Innovation and tradition combine through the use of the trade’s latest equipment and our specialist know-how.

In the past, you may well have had to wait for something to fail before knowing anything about a potential problem. Today, when you combine vehicle diagnostics with servicing or the annual car or light commercial vehicle MOT test, you have the components in place to care for your engine both proactively and preventively. In turn, you will need breakdown recovery services much less often, if at all.
Having to visit our servicing, repair and MOT garage might seem like a bind for some motorists, particularly those who come to us for a service or a test anyway.
But what will make a vast difference is the peace of mind and reassurance that come with booking a diagnostic check at least once a year. Knowing your engine subsystem has no known faults is your licence for a hassle-free driving experience where breakdown recovery is a thing of the past. If you do need our technicians or auto electricians to come out and assist you at the roadside, we have Worthing covered.
