See the full descriptionSome parts take days or weeks: we order them and they arrive when they arrive. While we wait, the car stays in the workshop. We tell you as soon as we have a date, and if it drags on we say so before you have to ask.
A fault shows up one day and is gone the next. If it comes back, that is a different fault and it has to be looked for again: it is not part of the invoice you have already closed. We tell you up front and we quote it for what it is, another repair.

The team
Four people with their own hands. Each with their part, and they work together.
The boss. He looks at the car, finds the fault and decides the way forward. Control units for the engine are his speciality: he repairs them at component level, and programs and clones them.
Does not do: heavy mechanics, which Joe does. Non-engine control units are Iulian's.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 09:00โ14:00
WhatsApp 665 65 64 57The first person you talk to. She keeps the diary, the appointments, the quotes, the hand-over and the collection, and takes payment in cash, by transfer or Bizum. If something needs arranging, it is with her.
Contact her for: appointment, quote, day and time, hand-over and payment. She is the only way to arrange work.
Hours: Monday to Thursday, 09:00โ14:00 ยท Friday 09:00โ12:00
WhatsApp 682 21 35 15The one who opens things up. Everything worked on with a spanner: engine, gearbox, discs, clutches, suspension and brakes. He does the servicing, the pre-ITV and the plastic parts. He is the heavy hand of the workshop and the one who puts in the most hours when a repair turns complicated.
Does not do: electronics or control units, nor bodywork and paint, nor bonded glass such as the windscreen or fixed windows.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 09:00โ14:00
WhatsApp 672 94 31 06He is his own master of his trade and works for himself, with his own materials. Keys and codes come from him, as does the electromechanics of the car (windows, locks, door locks and mirrors) and the electronics of everything that is not a car: computers, consoles and audio.
Does not do: mechanics or pre-ITV. And the consumer-electronics work he does on his own account, so you deal and pay with him directly, not with the workshop.
Hours: Monday to Thursday, 09:00โ14:00

Vehicle electronics
A modern car is not just an engine and wheels: it is dozens of control units talking to each other over a network, and under each one there are sensors, relays and motors. When one fails, or the car will not start, or something only half works, there is almost always a module behind it. These are the ones we master.
Cannot see the module you need? Tell us what the car does or which light came on and we will find it. Most of the faults we get already came from a workshop that had written the unit off.
Before changing anything
More than half the faults we see are not control units: they are cables, relays or connectors. Before replacing a module we always check that power and the data line arrive clean. That is how we find faults nobody else saw.
The classic frayed cable or burnt connector. We repair them with proper terminations, not a knot and tape.
We look for the fuse that keeps blowing, the burnt fuse box and the holder deformed by heat. We replace the whole box, not just the fuse.
Cut wiring, cheap splices, burnt looms and stripped branches. We rebuild the branch with a proper termination and protect it from moisture.
We trace battery leaks that leave the car with no power.
A loose ground gives the same symptoms as a dead module. We clean and tighten them before condemning anything.
When the fault does not show on the scanner, we follow the circuit with the car wiring diagram to find the exact point.
What we are asked for most
These are the ones that come up most every week. If yours is not on the list we do it anyway: write to us and we will tell you, no commitment.
When the car will not start, stalls or pulls, the cause is usually the unit or what reaches it: power, ground or a sensor. We locate and repair it, we do not replace the whole module.
A fault in a single module can stop the whole car. And often that module only has a dead memory chip.
The module that manages the airbag and the cluster warning. When the car has had the light on for years and the system will not reset, the problem is almost never the airbag: it is the module record.
The keys and codes are also done, but they are not listed here because they do not come up every week. If you need a new key, a CS code or a PIN, write to Iulian, who handles them.
Where we work
We work on the electronics of more than just passenger cars. These are the sectors we cover.
Our bread and butter: programming, control unit repair, body modules, vehicle electrics and general mechanics.
Programming and repair of control units for trucks, articulated lorries, coaches and fleet vehicles. Also AdBlue, EGR and DPF on heavy vehicles.
NewMarine and propulsion engines. We fix communication cuts and programme their control units.
NewTractors, harvesters and construction machinery. Control unit programming and diagnosis, coming to the shop if needed.
NewProgramming and diagnostics for motorcycles of all engine sizes.
NewMaintenance agreements for transport companies, logistics firms and Cartagena port services.
NewAnd this is only the beginning. We are getting properly into the electronics and programming of trucks, boats, farm machinery and other heavy vehicles. Everything we know how to do on a car we are doing in those sectors too: reading, writing, cloning, control units, keys and map programming. If you have one of those vehicles with an electrical fault, ask us: we are getting there.
Transparent
Five steps, always the same, so you know what is happening with your car at all times.
We read all the modules, the fault codes and live data. We check power, ground and data. We find the root cause, not the symptom.
First we locate the problem. Once we know what is wrong and what the solution is, we give you the price directly and in writing.We do not touch anything until you approve it.
Before writing to or opening the unit, we dump your original file. That way you can always go back.
We repair, programme or clone, then we go out and test the car. At the end you get it tested, not probably working.
We hand over the vehicle with its backup copy of the original file and the work is guaranteed. If something goes wrong we come back.
For many of the faults that come to us, the problem does not show while the car is parked in the workshop. It shows up in the rain, in the cold, going over a bump, at high speed or after a while driving. So after the repair,we go out and test the car for real and we take the chance to go and buy parts or handle other jobs.
For complicated work we have to make sure it is completely ready:we hand it back only once we have checked that the problem does not come back.
Also bear in mind that the workshop is small and there is no room for all the cars we take in every day:we are not a garage, we are a workshop. You may see the car in the same spot for a long time without moving, and the most likely reason is that we have not found the problem yet or that we are waiting for the part.
With the car in front of us and the fault on the screen we still do not know which part to change, what it costs or how many hours it will take. Giving a fixed figure blind would be making it up.
Once we know what is wrong and what the solution is, we give you the price directly and in writing.We do not touch anything until you approve it.
If once opened something unforeseen turns up, we tell you before carrying on and wait for your answer.
We do not buy second-hand parts, only original, OEM or guaranteed equivalent spares. If you want to use a control unit, a module or any second-hand part, you get it and we limit ourselves to virginising, cloning, programming and fitting it.
Tuning that changes homologated parameters or affects vehicle safety must be declared to the ITV and is for private use, circuits or enclosed venues only. To drive on public roads you must comply with current homologation rules. We explain your specific case before doing anything.
Away from cars
What we do with a car control unit we do with the board of a computer or a console: component-level soldering, fault finding and repair instead of replacing the whole device. If it has a board and a power supply, it can be repaired.
This whole side is handled by Iulian, on his own account and with his own material. Write to him directly, not to the office.
Your data. We do not touch your data or do anything that could erase the contents of the device. If the work is physical, we make a backup first and tell you before starting.
