Frequently Asked Questions
-
What exactly is a car diagnostic check?
Think of it as a health check for your car's brain. Modern vehicles are equipped with an onboard computer system that monitors performance and detects issues. When it finds a problem—like a faulty sensor or an engine issue—it triggers a warning light on your dash (like the "Check Engine" light). Our diagnostic check involves plugging our professional-grade scanner into your car's computer to read the specific "fault codes" it has stored. This tells us exactly where the problem is.
-
How much does a diagnostic check cost?
We charge a fixed, upfront fee of $150 +GST for the diagnostic service itself. This covers the time and expertise for our mechanic to travel to you, and perform 1 hour diagnostic assessment, use our specialised equipment, and accurately diagnose the fault. Once the problem is identified, any repairs are quoted separately, and we will only proceed with your full approval. There are no hidden costs or obligations.
-
Can you fix the problem on the spot?
Very often, yes. The diagnostic check is the first step: identifying the problem. Once we know what's wrong, we will provide you with a clear explanation and a transparent, upfront quote for the repair. If it's a common issue and we have the necessary part on hand (like a sensor, spark plug, or battery), we can usually complete the repair for you right then and there. If a special part needs to be ordered, we will arrange a convenient time to return and complete the job.
