What is a car diagnostic test?
A car diagnostic test is basically assessing your car for any hidden errors that may not be obvious to the driver. These errors may not be affecting your car now, but may do further on down the line, which means expensive bills!
These test usually only take a couple of minutes, so you won't have to sit around waiting all day. We want you to have your car back as soon as possible. They are very accurate and efficient and extremely time-saving.
What does a diagnostic test look for?
All modern cars have onboard computers, which receive information from sensors in the car for tracking down mechanical faults with factors such as:
- Emission Level
- Engine Temperature
- Windscreen Wipers
- Transmission
- Exhaust System
- Brakes
- Antilock Brake Systems (Abs)
- Fuel Injector
- Airflow
- Ignition Coils
- Throttle
The specialist equipment used in a diagnostic test is the only one that can read the error codes produced by the computers if they recognise a problem.
However, diagnostic testing uses a lot more brains than you think. This is because the error codes don't actually tell our technicians what the problem is, they just tell them that an error has been detected. Therefore, they must use their knowledge and experience to work out what's wrong with the car.
When do you know if you need a diagnostic test?
During the diagnostic test, your car's computers will be scanned by a mechanic with an electronic device called an automotive scan tool. This tool will search and receive error codes, so the issue with your vehicle can be fixed before they become worse.
We highly recommend you to bring your car to us for a diagnostic test at least once a year, so we can check for any faults and make sure it's still running smoothly.
These test usually only take a couple of minutes, so you won't have to sit around waiting all day. We want you to have your car back as soon as possible.
Why should you take your car for a diagnostic test?
Diagnostic tests are very useful for many different situations. For example, when you are interested in buying a car from a dealer, a diagnostic test will indicate whether the car may cost you more than it's worth in the long run.
Breaking down on a family road trip is probably one of the worst experiences, especially when you're sat for hours in the dark, you don't know where any garages are, and you have no signal on your phone to look at a map. Diagnostic tests find the fault a long time before it causes any serious damage, furthermore saving you money on severe repairs.
These computers also store and provide information on the history of the car; therefore, technicians will be able to consider problems that could reappear.
