I get a large amount of work rectifying things that garages have failed to fix as well, I had one this week that a well respected garage wanted to fit a new DPF at a high cost but the customer had the good sense not to trust the garages diagnosis and brought it to me I found 2 broken wires that caused the dpf fault and a faulty cheap aftermarket map sensor that had just been fitted by the garage causing correlation and air mass fault, this trade has changed Garages need to specialise train and equip themselves, if you don’t understand how something works your not going to be able to fix it, this goes for garages and DIYers.
