A light on the dash tells you something's wrong. It doesn't tell you what. We diagnose before we quote — find the actual cause, explain it in plain words, and give you a firm number for the fix. No guessing, no parts-cannon.
Diagnosis quoted up front
You know the diagnostic cost before we plug anything in, and the repair gets its own firm quote you approve separately.
Pick a drop-off time right here. Takes about a minute.

A code points at a system, not a part. Shops that skip diagnosis replace parts until the light goes off — on your bill. We find the cause first, so you pay for one fix, once.
| Diagnosis first (how we work) | Parts-swapping | |
|---|---|---|
| What happens | Test the system, find the actual cause, quote the one fix. | Replace the likeliest part, clear the code, hope. |
| What you pay for | The diagnostic, then one repair. | Each part, until the light stays off. |
| When the light comes back | Rare — the cause was found, not guessed at. | Common — a code points at a system, not a part. |

Something we didn't cover? Call (343) 459-3790 and ask.
Can I keep driving with the light on?
Steady light: get it checked soon. Flashing light: no — that usually means active misfire and real damage. Call us.
Can't you just clear the code?
We can, but it comes back if the cause is still there. We'd rather find it and tell you if the fix can wait.
The parts store read my code free. Why pay?
A code read tells you the system. Diagnosis tells you the part. One is a hint, the other is an answer.
Do you do pre-purchase inspections?
Yes. Bring the car (or send the seller) and we'll go through it before you hand over money.
