A trouble code is the starting point

A diagnostic trouble code points to a condition detected by the vehicle. Further testing may be needed to identify its cause. Reading or clearing a code alone does not confirm that the problem is repaired.

Our service advisors listen to your concerns and discuss diagnostic testing with you. The goal is to understand the cause of the problem so you can make an informed repair decision.

What should I tell the technician?

Your vehicle's year, make, model, and approximate mileage.
Whether the warning light stays on, flashes, or comes and goes.
Any rough running, hesitation, stalling, or difficulty starting.
When the problem happens, such as during a cold start, at idle, or while accelerating.
Recent repairs and any trouble codes that have already been read.

What if the check engine light is flashing?

A flashing check engine light can indicate a misfire that may damage the catalytic converter. If the light flashes or the engine runs very roughly, pull over safely and contact us for guidance. Avoid continuing to drive a vehicle that is running unsafely.

How much does diagnostic testing cost?

Testing time depends on the vehicle and the concern. Contact us for diagnostic pricing and appointment availability. We can discuss the next step based on your symptoms and the inspection findings.
