Our Diagnostic Process
Our diagnostic process begins with connecting an OE-level scan tool to your vehicle’s computer to retrieve any trouble codes and review freeze-frame data. This initial information provides a roadmap for our technicians. From there, we move into live data analysis, observing how various sensors and modules are communicating in real-time.
Based on the data, we perform pinpoint tests to confirm the fault. This can include procedures like voltage drop and resistance tests, fuel pressure checks, or smoke testing to find vacuum leaks. A test drive is often performed to replicate the symptom under specific conditions. Once we have isolated the exact problem, we provide you with a clear explanation and a detailed estimate before any repairs are made.
