Our diagnostic charge is one hour of time. Most vehicles needing diagnosis will be at this level. During this time, our mechanics use factory scan tools to read any codes stored in the vehicle and perform a variety of tests to ensure the remedy is correct. Many places can “read codes” but fewer places have the expertise to correctly identify the cause of the code.
Often, the triggered code does not reveal the full answer to your car’s issue. There are some instances in which additional time will be required, but we make sure you are aware of that prior to completing the diagnosis. Not every vehicle requires a diagnostic charge though. Please call us to describe what you’re experiencing with your car or truck so we can better advise.
