Head diagnostic technician for Audi/Volkswagen specialist workshop – 5 Years

Audi/Volkswagen training courses completed:

Wiring Diagrams- Reading wiring diagrams to find electrical/electronic issues efficiently.

CAN-BUS/Controller Area Network. (This is how sensors and control units communicate) – Viewing signals and using the information to locate faults.

Vehicle Electrics- Understanding components, from a door lock to a radiator fan, and accurately Diagnosing a customer issue, through electrical and mechanical means.

I have also undergone numerous courses after moving on from VAG Europe. Vehicles are an ever-changing platform. To stay on top of exactly how they work, we as technicians need to adapt, and evolve with each new system that becomes available.

Phil was very courteous, knowledgeable and patiently took me through the eletrical issues plaguing an old Skoda sedan. He showed great customer focus and genuine concern that I obtain a positive outcome. I could not recommend Phil more highly.Sunray Major17/04/2024

Phil is not just an outstanding automotive technician, but also a dear friend whom I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for nearly a decade. I’ve witnessed his business grow from humble beginnings to a well-established workshop, all while maintaining an unwavering commitment to professional and transparent services without ever cutting corners.

While there are undoubtedly many skilled technicians out there, it’s rare to find one who cares for their customers on such a personal level as Phil does. His warm human qualities and obsession with perfection instill a sense of confidence and reassurance every time you leave your vehicle in his capable hands. The way he treats each car with utmost care and attention is truly remarkable, making it impossible for me to trust anyone else with the maintenance and repairs of my own vehicle.

If you haven’t yet experienced the “Autobahn Diagnostics” treatment, I truly recommend giving it a try. You’ll be unlikely to ever take your car back to the dealer for service or repairs once you’ve witnessed Phil’s exceptional level of service and expertise.

While this may sound biased coming from me, Phil is not only an exceptional technician but also a genuinely good friend, deserving of praise for both his professional skills and his personal qualities. His dedication to his craft and his customers is truly commendable.alessiocentritto10/04/2024

Would highly recommend, 5 stars is not enough!Angus Laidler02/02/2024

I have very much enjoyed my experience with Autobahn Diagnostics and Phil. Having not owned a car for a while I wanted to make sure I found the best local mechanic for the needs of my second hand vehicle. All communications were clear and made booking and understanding issues with the vehicle easy. After my first service, photos were sent directly to me so I could see where the issues discussed were, and what work was or needed to be done on the vehicle. Drop off and pick up were also flexible which was good for my changing schedule.Jacob Pittolo18/01/2024
