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 engine control unit on the car is a very important piece of equipment and it needs to be functioning properly for the vehicle to run efficiently. It controls things such as the air to fuel ratio, valve timings and temperatures. Some boxes will also communicate with other parts of the car including the transmission and the traction control system.

If you need to purchase a brand new ECU it is going to cost you a lot of money and having the existing one fixed is a cheaper option. You should do a few checks on the available firms that fix faulty control units. It is essential that you use the services of a reliable company that is going to guarantee the work done by their engineers.

The majority of control units can be repaired unless the problem is so severe that repairs are not going to be cost effective. Older units or the ones fitted to rare cars may take longer to fix as some parts may have to be ordered from overseas. Modern units can be fixed fairly fast and the price you are charged will be reasonable.

The internet is probably the best place to find a company that will take your faulty piece of equipment and fix it. You will need to log onto their web site, and input your vehicles details, which is a fairly simple process. If they can do the work on that particular unit they will give you a price and arrange to have your unit collected by a courier.

It is advisable to contact a few firms to ask for price quotes so that you can compare prices. You will have to carefully package and label the unit before the collection driver picks it up. It is important that the package is insured for its full replacement value in case it is damaged or lost in transit.

The work on your unit will not usually take too long and it will depend on what is wrong with it, hours required to fix it and how busy the technicians are. When the fault is fixed, your unit will be sent back to you, and you can put it back in the car and test it. Make sure that you keep the payment receipt for the repairs and the guarantee paperwork that is issued in case a fault occurs.

Searching your local area may also produce results and you may have a local company that can fix your ECU. You can then simply drop the unit off at the factory and collect it when the work has been done. You can also find companies that advertise in car magazines, local newspapers and on leaflets and posters around town.
