What is included in a vehicle diagnostic test?

Our diagnostic testing includes scanning your vehicle’s onboard computer system, checking the engine, transmission, exhaust, electrical systems, brakes, and cooling systems, and identifying any fault codes or inefficiencies that may affect performance or safety.

How long does a car diagnostic test take?

Most diagnostic tests take between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the issue. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to quickly pinpoint problems so we can get you back on the road faster.

Can you diagnose issues even if the check engine light is off?

Yes! While the check engine light is a helpful indicator, many problems don’t trigger it immediately. We use advanced tools to detect early signs of wear or malfunction in both mechanical and electronic components.

Do you provide a detailed explanation after the diagnostic test?

Absolutely. After completing the test, we’ll explain our findings in plain language, including what needs repair, why it’s important, and how much it will cost—so you can make an informed decision.

Assessing Your On-Board Diagnostic System

Most modern vehicles come with an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system built right into the vehicle. Using specialized computer software, we will tap into your OBD system. This will give us a broad overview of your vehicle’s current health and functioning. If there are inefficiencies or malfunctions, the software will accurately identify it for us. If you have ever seen your ‘check engine light’ come on, you are already familiar with your vehicle’s OBD.

This process dramatically improves the efficiency of our vehicle diagnostic tests. Once we know where the issues are located, we can go in and repair both the electrical and mechanical components that are failing.

Automotive Diagnostic Testing

In addition to the information we’re able to get from your vehicle’s computer system, we will also run a series of tests on specific components. In most cases, we will run these tests regardless of whether you know what is wrong with your vehicle or not. These tests may include:

Brake tests
Signal and headlight tests
Electrical system tests
Transmission tests
Engine efficiency and cooling
Exhaust system tests

By diagnosing current and future malfunctions, we ensure that all our clients leave Mobile Auto Works with a vehicle that’s efficient and safe.

Engine Diagnostic Testing

If your check engine light has come on, it’s time you brought it to Mobile Auto Works for a closer look.

Your engine needs to be running at peak efficiency at all times. What does ‘peak efficiency’ mean? It means your engine will have the longevity you expect without wasting your money on extra fuel to power it. Engine diagnostics give us an inside look at the functioning, wear, and efficiency of your engine.

We will run your engine through our computer system to check the exhaust, transmission, oil tank, and the unnecessary heat it may be producing.
