Looking For A Company For Ecu Repair

By Carl Campbell


A modern day car has a complex electronic system and it will be controlled by an engine management system. Sometimes these systems fail and they will need looking at and fixing so that the car will operate in the correct way. When you are looking for a company for ecu repair there are various options and it is essential to use the services of trained technicians.

The ECU on your car is a vital piece of kit and when it stops working the car will not run efficiently and will need to be taken off the road. The components in the box control various things such as the fuel and air mix, water temperature and the variable valve timings. The box will also communicate with other major components such as cruise control systems, transmission and traction control.

Buying a brand new ECU is going to be expensive and so having the faulty one repaired is going to save you some money. There are a few places where you can find a firm that can fix faults with your unit and a little research is required. You need to find a reputable company that has qualified engineers and that will guarantee their work.

A faulty ECU can usually be fixed unless there is a major fault in which case it may be beyond repair. A control unit for older cars may take a little longer to fix as the parts required will often have to be made or imported. A modern unit can be repaired quite quickly and the costs are not too high.

A good place to find a specialist company to fix your ECU is the internet and there are many firms listed online. You will need to spend a little time entering the details of your vehicle into the web site. The firm will then give you the price of the repairs and if you accept you can arrange to have the unit collected.

It is a good idea to get some quotes from a few companies so that price comparisons can be made before sending your ECU away for repair. Before the driver comes to collect you unit it needs to be securely packaged and labeled with the companies address. Always ensure that your parcel is insured against loss or damage while it is in transit.

The time taken to fix your ECU will depend on how busy the firm is and what needs to be done. When the work is complete, the unit will be sent back to your address and you can then refit it to the vehicle, and test it. It is essential that you retain the bill for the work along with any warranty paperwork that is issued in case you need to get future repairs done.

You may also find firms in your area that can do the work on your ECU and this may be more convenient. You will not need a courier and you can deliver and collect your own unit for the work to be done. Companies also advertise their services in newspapers and magazines as well as using business cards, leaflets and posters.
