Vehicle Diagnosis
No vehicle diagnosis is the same. We treat them all individually and make no assumptions. We look, see, and touch.
Click on a level below to learn about what is typically included. If additional diagnosis time is needed, you will always be contacted prior to additional work being done.
- Preliminary testing, connecting our computer to your vehicle computer, checking for current, pending, and historical malfunctions
- Researching technical bulletins and common failures
- Includes 30-point safety inspection
In most cases, with a level 1 diagnosis, we can tell you what the vehicle will need if the vehicle is operating under its own power.
- Secondary testing, includes everything from Level 1
- Time to gain access to necessary components
- Checking for power / ground
- Checking connections
- Testing for resistance
This is for vehicles that operate under their own power but have performance issues and need additional testing.
- Reserved for vehicles that don’t move under their own power, have performance issues, and require expert level electrical testing.
In some cases, testing may extend beyond level 3, depending on vehicle conditions.
