What are Auto Diagnostic Services?

 

In short, Auto Diagnostics is taking a picture of the health of your vehicle.

A common misconception about servicing the very intricately complex vehicles of today, is that plugging them in to a diagnostic tool will tell a mechanic what to fix on your vehicle. This is only partly true. We do have an excellent diagnostics tool, but this is just the beginning.

When you bring your vehicle to a mechanical shop, just like a visit to the doctor, your vehicle’s computer has
recorded a series of codes, which will read like a broad list of general symptoms; ways in which something is
behaving differently than expected. Our diagnostics test will include this information within pages of codes
downloaded from your vehicle, highlighting which component is behaving out of range. This information is very helpful in pointing us to the appropriate section of your automotive system, but it often takes a highly skilled mechanic to drill down to the root of the problem. We’ll follow the diagnostic test up with appropriate inspections to isolate the issue, and the most appropriate course of action, to both solve problems before they get too big, and to minimize the costs of work.

 

When should someone consider asking for Auto Diagnostics Service?

 

Also like a trip to the doctor, your vehicle should get a checkup once a year at the minimum, to keep things running smoothly, and avoid bigger issues that build up over time, if missed. A trip to the mechanic can help shine a light on what’s happening under the hood of your car, and save both time and money down the road.
Other times people may consider using this service might be if something just seems a little off about your vehicle, if your vehicle is making unusual noises, or if warning lights come up on your dashboard.
We’re ready to help get to the heart of any vehicle issues, and want to ensure we only do the work that is essential.  We’ve been serving Calgary SE & SW for 20+ years so it’s no wonder that Calgary SE & SW vehicle owners trust us with their automotive safety and automotive diagnosis.
