Engine Repair & Diagnostics
Identify problems accurately. Fix them right.
What Engine Diagnostics Are
Engine diagnostics use computer-based testing to read your vehicle's diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and identify exactly what's wrong. Instead of guessing, we plug in approved diagnostic equipment and get the facts—fast and accurate.
Typical diagnostic cost: £60+
Common Engine Warning Lights
That light on your dashboard means something. Here's what they typically indicate:
- • Check Engine Light (CEL) – Engine fault detected; diagnostics needed
- • Oil Pressure Warning – Low oil pressure; check level or system fault
- • Temperature Warning – Engine overheating; stop driving immediately
- • Battery Light – Charging system fault; alternator or battery issue
- • Emissions Light – Catalytic converter or emissions system fault
Our Diagnostic Process
- 1. Plug-in Test – Connect approved diagnostic equipment to read codes
- 2. Code Reading – Identify exact fault codes and system data
- 3. Expert Interpretation – Our technicians analyze findings in context
- 4. Clear Report – Transparent findings with repair options and costs

Once we've diagnosed the issue, we repair it right. Services include component replacement, overhauls, performance restoration, and system repairs—all with transparent pricing and quality workmanship.
Early Diagnosis Saves Money
A small engine fault caught early might cost £200 to fix. Ignored, it can lead to catastrophic failure costing £2,000+. Diagnostics are an investment in preventing costly repairs.

Brake Service & Safety
Your brakes are one of the most safety-critical systems on your vehicle. At Sherif Auto Repairs, we take brake service seriously—with expert diagnostics, quality parts, and meticulous attention to detail.
Why Professional Brake Service Matters
Worn or failing brakes compromise your safety and your passengers' safety. Professional brake service catches problems early, prevents emergency failures, and keeps you confident on London's busy roads. We don't cut corners on brakes.
Brake Pad & Disc Replacement
Cost: From £350+ (depending on vehicle and parts quality)
What's included:
- Removal of old brake pads and discs
- Inspection of calipers and hardware
- Installation of quality replacement pads and discs
- Test drive to confirm proper operation
Typical lifespan: 30,000–70,000 miles depending on driving habits and brake quality.
Brake System Diagnostics
We inspect the complete brake system to identify issues before they become emergencies:
- Fluid check: Brake fluid condition and level
- Caliper inspection: Smooth operation and wear
- Rotor assessment: Thickness, warping, and surface condition
- Brake lines: Cracks, leaks, and corrosion
Warning Signs Your Brakes Need Attention
Squealing or grinding: Often indicates worn pads or debris
Reduced braking power: Takes longer to stop or requires harder pedal pressure
Soft or spongy pedal: Indicates possible fluid leak or air in the system
Vibration or pulsing: May indicate warped rotors
Brake warning light: Never ignore—diagnostics may be needed
Service Intervals & Maintenance
Most vehicles benefit from a brake inspection every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Full brake service (pads and discs) typically occurs every 2–3 years depending on driving style and road conditions.
