Our Process

1

Scan

We connect our advanced scan tools to read all stored and pending codes from your vehicle's computer.

2

Analyze

Codes are just the starting point. We use live data, freeze frame data, and our experience to narrow down the actual cause.

3

Test

We test specific components — sensors, actuators, circuits — to confirm the diagnosis before recommending repairs.

4

Report

You get a clear explanation of the problem, what caused it, and a written estimate for the repair.

Pricing

$99.99 – $149.99

Final price depends on:

  • Complexity of the issue
  • Number of systems involved
  • Testing time required
Diagnostic fee is applied toward the cost of repair if you choose to have us fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I just get the code read for free?

Parts stores offer free code reads, but a code alone doesn't tell you what's wrong — it tells you what the computer detected. Proper diagnostics involves testing to find the root cause.

Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?

A steady light usually means you can drive to the shop. A flashing check engine light means stop driving immediately — it indicates a serious misfire that can damage your catalytic converter.

How long does diagnostics take?

Simple issues can be diagnosed in 30–60 minutes. Complex electrical or intermittent problems may take longer. We'll keep you updated.
