If the SCR system needs component replacement — dosing injector, pump, tank or catalyst — that is separate, and you will be told before any work starts. If this is a job we cannot fix at the roadside, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after we arrive.

What to do right now in Lurgan

  1. Do not start the engine and do not cycle the ignition repeatedly.
  2. Ventilate — petrol vapour in a vented AdBlue tank is a real consideration, especially in a garage.

Petrol in the AdBlue tank in Lurgan — what is different locally

Around Lurgan the vehicle is as likely to be on a forecourt or a verge as on a driveway, so the first question on the call is whether it is in a safe position to be worked on where it stands.

Specialist SCR workshops in Other Northern Ireland are scattered, and the nearest one to Lurgan may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. Agricultural and plant work across Other Northern Ireland brings bulk AdBlue storage into it, and bulk storage is where contamination and out-of-spec fluid problems usually start.

The price that matters is not the call-out, it is the day the vehicle is not earning — which is why the job is quoted in full before anyone travels. Seasonal contrast matters here — summer calls skew towards wrong fills at the pump, winter calls towards level and quality warnings that turn out to be temperature-related.

Location changes the logistics of this job and nothing else about it — the severity is set by what went into which tank. Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. Coverage runs across Other Northern Ireland on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Common questions

Do you charge extra to come out to Lurgan?

No. The From just £89 call-out fee is the same across Other Northern Ireland, and the job total is quoted on the phone before a technician travels rather than adjusted on arrival.

What if my vehicle is already at a garage in Lurgan?

That is fine. The work is mobile, so it happens wherever the vehicle is standing — a forecourt, a yard, a driveway or somebody else's workshop.

The engine started and ran normally. Is it fine?

Running normally is expected — the SCR circuit is in the exhaust, not the engine, so the engine will not feel it. The damage happens quietly and shows up later as a dosing fault or a failed NOx conversion.
