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.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I have known Rick Allen and his team since the 1988 and he has been providing continuous expert service and advice ever since that time. Rick and Mike are the two most honest and knowledgeable car repair men in the world.
I just wanted to reach out to let you know how much I appreciate and depend upon your service and integrity. It's been 23 years now that I've been relying on you to keep my vehicles running, and 20 years since Mike recommended that I buy a Tacoma - thank you Mike! Sometimes, as I am sitting in the waiting area listening to Mike interact with a customer, I am just amazed at his 'triage' skills. Whatever the knowledge level of the client is, Mike is always able to glean information from them and develop an idea of what the issue might be with the vehicle in question. He is incredible. Everyone at the counter is so friendly - Mike, Cheryl, and Michelle! I've just recommended you to friends and they should be calling you soon, I rave about you and how you have taken good care of 'Vinnie', my truck for so many years! Have a joyous, fun-filled Christmas! I'll see you on the 2nd.
