We are able to diagnose faults and problems that other garages and even Ford Dealers seem unable to resolve using FORD IDS. We repair ECU’s and can supply, Fit and Programme New, Used & Refurbished ECU’s and Control Units to all Ford models. Unlike most workshops who would rarther just change parts in the hope that it may fix the problem at your expense. We have the knowledge and expertise to diagnose faults along with any other issues accurately and economically to ensure your ford is back on the road and not hiding any unwanted electrical gremlins, Time and time again we have proven other companies quotes to be misrepresenting of the actual fault for instance we recently had a turbo actuator fault the client was quoted over £1100 for the repair (compleat turbo) we diagnosed the fault and repaired the fault for £280 need we say we had one happy ford owner with money in his pocket.
Our aim at GEL Automotive is to repair the issue you are having with your ford at the best possible price, we will try and repair any part we can rather than replacing it unless it is proven to be faulty.
