Auto Diagnostic FAQs
How do vehicle diagnostic systems work?
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a sophisticated computer that collects vital information from a network of sensors, monitoring engine performance, emissions, and other key functions. It not only regulates various car systems but also acts as a diagnostic tool, alerting you to potential problems before they become major issues.
How long does a car diagnostic last?
While a basic diagnostic test typically wraps up in 1-1.5 hours, complex issues demanding further examination and component access/testing can extend the process to 2-3 hours. The length ultimately depends on the severity of the problem and the potential presence of multiple underlying culprits.
What is included in a car diagnostic test?
Diagnostic tests are like X-rays for your vehicle, utilizing specialized equipment to scan its complex systems and components like the engine, transmission, and throttle. From minor oil tank issues to intricate electrical glitches, these tests diagnose a wide range of potential problems. However, interpreting the data they generate requires trained professionals, making dealer shops and skilled mechanics your best bet for accurate diagnoses.

Reviews
Wayne and his team are the best. They went above and beyond to provide great customer service and repairs at a very fair and reasonable price. I recommend them highly and will take all my cars to Wayne going forward. Scott Widener, 12/29/2023 |
These folks are amazing! I ran out of gas directly across from their shop and called to ask for a gas can to borrow. Instead of just letting me borrow a can, the gentleman came out with a can of fuel and filled my vehicle so that I could make it to a gas station. He would not accept any money for the help or the fuel. What a kind and generous gesture! Very wonderful people! Allison l Jeffrey, 01/09/2023 |
Great place! I had to get headlight bulbs put in my car. They did this for no charge which was incredibly nice of them. I have had my car serviced there in the past and will continue to do so. I highly recommend them for all your car needs. And as a bonus there is always some kind of animal to see! Sue Landes, 03/25/2022 |
