FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Why can I not see instant prices?

We’re working hard to add ECU repair costs to our list of instant price products. In the meantime, you can compare labour rates from local garages to book the best deal.

We show labour rates as these make up most of the final bill, so finding a lower-cost option can help keep the price of a lengthy repair as low as possible.

What are labour rates?

A labour rate is how much a garage charges for an hour of their time. This takes into account the:
- Market rate in your area
- Level of experience/expertise they have
- Use of specialist equipment or facilities
- General staffing costs and overheads

As labour rates generally fairly compensate each garage for their time, choosing one that charges slightly more can lead to a higher-quality experience.

How serious is an ECU issue?

The ECU is the heartbeat of your car, so any issue with it can have serious consequences if not taken care of promptly.

As it manages crucial processes like fuel injection, ignition timing and emissions control, a faulty ECU can make your car incredibly difficult to drive or bring your life to a sudden halt. As a result, we recommend booking a repair as soon as you notice a problem.

How much will my ECU repair cost?

Repairing an ECU costs between £150 and £500, on average, depending on the level of damage, vehicle make and model and type of repair you need.

If you need a full ECU replacement, this can end up being a four-figure repair bill!

My car won’t start, how can I get the issue checked if I can’t drive it?

We have a growing network of mobile mechanics on our platform, many of whom offer expert ECU repairs on your driveway. That way, you get a high-quality experience without having to fork out for a tow truck to take your car to a local garage.

As mobile mechanics often have lower overheads and staffing costs, you may also be able to get a cheaper repair by choosing one.

If you need a mobile ECU repair, select ‘Only Mobile Mechanics’ from the left-hand sidebar to compare the convenient options that serve your location.

Can I trust the garage I’ve chosen?

We’re committed to only working with the best. We regularly review every garage on our platform and remove those who consistently let down customers and provide low-quality experiences.

With verified, unfiltered reviews highlighting genuine experiences from real people always available, when you choose a highly rated option near you, you'll always drive away satisfied and find a great go to garage for years to come.

We also reward the best of the best with one of our tier badges. These highlight those local garages who regularly go above and beyond to provide the highest level of customer service. With strict eligibility criteria that garages must meet and maintain to be rewarded with a badge, choosing a Silver, Gold or Top Tier garage will give you even more confidence that you’ve found a trustworthy option.

Is my ECU to blame for my car’s poor performance?

It can be hard to tell whether your ECU is directly to blame for your problem. If your car is struggling to start, you may instead need an alternator repair, starter motor repair, replacement spark plugs or battery replacement.

And, as the check engine light can come on for hundreds of reasons, there is no obvious way to tell whether an ECU repair will get you moving smoothly again.

If you’re unsure what the cause of your problem is, we recommend booking a diagnostic check at your perfect local garage. This will help the technician identify what part is to blame based on the error codes your vehicle is displaying.

Can I diagnose the error codes myself?

Yes, you can buy a handheld diagnostic tool on Amazon or from a specialist auto parts supplier. This will come with instructions and may even tell you what common error codes mean (although you can also find the answers on automotive forums or your manufacturer’s website).

This is really the only way to tell for certain whether your ECU is causing your problem. If you don’t feel comfortable diagnosing the error code yourself, we recommend booking a diagnostic check at a local garage to have a professional do it for you.

Can I sort garages another way to find a repair that works for me?

You can use the Sort By button in the top right-hand corner to sort local garages by Price, Distance, Availability, Reviews or even Name to find the perfect option for your car’s ECU repair. If you ever get overwhelmed by choice, you can revert to Relevance to see our recommended options, based on a combination of these factors.

If you also need a same- or next-day appointment, a mobile appointment or additional repairs, you can use the filter options on the left-hand sidebar to only see the search results that work for you.
