DIAGNOSTIC TESTS FOR RHODE ISLAND DRIVERS
Over the years, vehicles have become more and more technologically advanced. Modern automobiles rely heavily on their computerized systems, microchips, sensors, and processors. A diagnostic test uses specialized software to tap into those components and quickly locate issues in the vehicle’s engine, transmission, and elsewhere.
If there is an issue with the vehicle, the diagnostic check will return a code that lets your mechanic know where the issue is. It does not, however, tell your technician what the problem is. That’s where our ASE–certified experts come in with their years of training and experience.
WHAT PARTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE ACTUALLY TESTED?
On-board diagnostics are helpful in testing multiple components of your car. These checks can find engine problems, transmission issues, and brake problems. Our experienced technicians can also check for issues that affect your vehicle’s performance including coolant and airflow, throttle problems, malfunctioning ignition coils, and fuel injector issues. We’ll check your vehicle’s computer system and ensure peak engine performance and vehicle efficiency.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF DIAGNOSTICS?
Before diagnostic testing was available, pinpointing car trouble could be a lengthy, tedious process. Mechanics had to spend more time trying to find the cause of the problem. This often resulted in larger auto repair bills and inaccurate repairs. Thanks to the advances in software and technology, our technicians can now quickly and easily discover where the issue is, getting our customers back on the road sooner. Whether it’s an issue with your vehicle’s spark plugs or OBD system, our top-notch diagnostic services will find the issue fast and give you back confidence in your car.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REALLY GET MY CAR TESTED?
We recommend getting a diagnostic check once a year. Preemptive testing can tip us off to an issue before it turns into a bigger, costlier problem. These issues may not be serious enough to trigger the check engine light, making them difficult to notice without a check, but you don’t have to wait a year. Anytime you notice something different with your vehicle or your check engine light comes on it is a good idea to get a check. Whenever your check engine light comes on, don’t hesitate to visit us for diagnostic services.
