How much does electrical fault diagnosis cost?

Quick answer

£120–£900

At a UK independent garage, including parts, labour and VAT. The price covers diagnostic time, then the module, sensor or loom repair the fault turns out to need. Franchise dealer pricing usually sits 40-80% higher, and prestige or electric models sit at the top of the band.

Symptoms that point at it

warning lights that come and go
screen rebooting or going black
battery flat after a few days standing
electric windows or locks working intermittently

Intermittent electrical faults are the hardest thing to price, so budget diagnostic time on top. Sit in the car with everything switched on for five minutes before you commit.
