Daniele helped me with a new key cutting for my Honda Civic, didn’t take long and was back in my car in no time. Very reasonably priced compared to a dealership and quick service! Very pleased. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Using professional diagnostics equipment, programmers and software we provide reset crash data service to repair airbags ECUs - Modules fitted on most vehicles, makes and models.

Our team can remove crash data recording and delete fault codes into the memory of airbag ECUS modules that have locked after the airbags have deployed.

Main dealers or most local garages do not offer this repair service, so they will quote you an expensive bill for replacement of a new Airbag ECU, and most of the time you do not have your car back to the road as soon you need (average waiting time 2-3 weeks time because part is not always in stock resulting a special order or coming from abroad).

With this service, we will restore your locked airbag module to the same state as was new one, and potentially help you to save hundreds of pounds. 

We offer this service most of the time, on the same day we receive your unit or while you wait in our workshop.

When you fill our contact form for this service, we recommend you to add, if you have, your vehicle diagnostic report from your local dealer or garage.
