Car Won’t Start in Caterham? Immobiliser & Module Specialists
When a control module fails, the dealer fits a new one and charges for programming on top. We repair the original at component level in Caterham — immobilisers, BSI units, airbag modules and more — so your car keeps its identity and you keep your money.
Repair the module, keep your car’s identity
As a town, Caterham generates a steady stream of work for us, and the A22 on the doorstep keeps travel times short. Same-day visits are often realistic — just ask when you call.
A no-start immobiliser fault is one of the most frustrating things that can happen to a car that’s otherwise fine — everything else works, but it simply won’t fire. Very often the cause is a repairable fault in the immobiliser or its communication with the ECU, not a reason to replace half the car.
We also repair BSI and body-control units behind electrical gremlins, and airbag/SRS modules — including resetting crash data after an accident so the airbag light goes out. Repairing the original keeps your coding and saves the programming bill a replacement would bring.
We come to you anywhere in Caterham wherever suits — near the A22 or further out, diagnose the fault and either repair on-site or collect, repair and refit — keeping you off the road for the shortest possible time.
Trade and private customers in Caterham bring us the no-starts other garages give up on — the ones traced to the immobiliser talking to the ECU rather than to keys or fuelling.
Need something else while we’re there? We also cover ECU cloning, car diagnostics and instrument cluster repair for Caterham drivers.

Immobiliser & Module Repair in Caterham — your questions answered
Where do you carry out the work in Caterham?
Wherever your car is — your driveway, your street or your workplace car park anywhere in Caterham. All we need is safe access to the vehicle.
What’s a BSI and can you repair it?
The BSI (body systems interface) is the body-control module that manages much of a car’s electrics — common on French makes especially. When it faults it throws all sorts of electrical gremlins. We repair BSI units at component level rather than replacing and recoding them.
Which makes do you cover?
Most major manufacturers. Give us the make, model and a description of the fault and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can help.
Which modules do you repair?
Immobilisers, BSI/body-control units, airbag/SRS modules, and many comfort and convenience modules. Tell us the make, model and symptoms and we’ll confirm whether it’s one we handle.
My car won’t start and I’ve been told it’s the immobiliser — can you help?
Very often, yes. A no-start with everything else working is frequently a repairable fault in the immobiliser or its communication with the ECU, rather than a reason to replace expensive parts. We diagnose it properly first, then repair the original unit.
