Frequently Asked Questions About Engine Diagnostics

Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?
A steady check engine light usually indicates a non-emergency issue, but you should have it checked within a few days. A flashing check engine light indicates a serious problem like a misfire that can damage your catalytic converter — pull over safely and call us right away.
How much does engine diagnostics cost?
Our diagnostic service starts at $99, which includes reading codes, visual inspection, and a detailed report. If you proceed with the repair, the diagnostic fee is often applied toward the repair cost.
Can you diagnose any make and model?
Yes, our ASE-certified technicians work on all domestic and import vehicles including Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes, and more. We have manufacturer-specific diagnostic software for most major brands.
