Control Module Solutions
Among the wide range of auto electrical services we offer at AJH Automotive, our work with control modules—like ECUs, clusters, and body control units—highlights our specialist expertise. For instance, we can take a second-hand ECU and seamlessly transfer all data from your old unit, including performance remaps, saving you the cost of a new replacement while keeping your vehicle at its best. Similarly, we transfer critical details like mileage from your old clocks (speedo) to a new or second-hand unit, ensuring accuracy without hassle. These are just glimpses of how we manage everything from engine control to dashboard systems and beyond, using advanced diagnostics and skilled hands. Whatever electrical control issue you’re facing, we’ve got the solution—visit our contact page to reach out and let us sort it out.
Electrical Fault Recovery
Our auto electrical expertise at AJH Automotive shines in restoring your vehicle after faults, with services like airbag module resets and FRM repairs as prime examples of our capabilities. We reset airbag modules to clear crash data after an accident or fix corruption from a flat battery, avoiding costly replacements. Likewise, we repair FRM (Footwell Module) issues—such as lights staying on or wipers and indicators failing after a battery change—whether it’s an FRM3 corruption fix or an FRM2 repair (just provide the unit’s numbers for the right flash data). These are just snapshots of how we recover vehicles from electrical setbacks, from crash-related faults to battery-induced glitches and more. No matter the problem, we’re equipped to bring your electrics back to life—pop over to our contact page to get in touch and we’ll handle the rest.
Customer Reviews
Recommendation
"We took our car to this garage because our daughter recommended it. Excellent service and MOT. Kept in touch regarding the work being done and when ready for collection. Some time later we had an issue, when travelling regarding engine power. We rang and Jack waited to put the car on diagnostics. Advised us of problem and solution. Reassured and able to drive home, to our relief. Will be back. It is so difficult to find a reliable trustworthy garage these days."
Gordon Edwards
Brilliant Service
"Since the service history of my car is somewhat patchy I wanted a full service and cam belt/water pump change. I also asked for a number of items to be checked in preparation for the next MOT. Sean was the technician who did the work and everything was completed in good time and as agreed cost wise. I received a short video of the inspection under the car clearly pointing out the issues that need attention before MOT time. Brilliant service and reasonable pricing, what more could you ask for? Will be booking the car back in shortly for the outstanding work."
Mark Horseman
New to Durham
"I used AJH for the first time after receiving recommendations from local people. I moved to Durham a few months back and knew nothing about the local businesses. From first contact in booking, through telephone calls to the service and MOT that I needed I couldn't find fault. My car needed a new spring and brake pads and I was kept fully informed throughout the whole process. All round an excellent professional and friendly service, and I don't hesitate to recommend them."
Jon Shaw
Great Service
"Great service and as soon as I was in the garage I felt confident that I was dealing with professional people who would do a high quality service and repairs. Above all the appraisal on my car was accurate and honest. The prices were extremely competitive. I am not going anywhere else for an MOT, service or any repairs for my cars in future."
Shahid Mahmood
ABS issues
"I was able to get my car booked in within a day to get an ABS issue sorted. They were very efficient, letting me know the cost of the repair before they carried it out. They were very friendly and personable and Jodie on reception was very helpful."
Rachael Parkin
Great repair centre
"A great repair centre. Friendly, helpful, trustworthy and won't rip you off. Checked my car over after somebody bumped it despite being incredibly busy when I dropped in, settling my mind in the process. Thank you very much."
