Get the Light Off — and Fix the Cause
We bring professional diagnostics to you: scan tools, live-data analysis, and hands-on testing to pinpoint faults in the engine, ABS/traction, airbag/SRS, charging/starting, and general electrical systems. You get a flat-rate visit, a clear plan, and options that fit your budget.
Check Engine Light & Drivability
Common Symptoms
- CEL on, flashing CEL (misfire)
- Rough idle, stall, lack of power
- Poor fuel economy, failed emissions
- Hard starts, long crank, no start
What We Do
- OBD-II scan & freeze-frame review
- Live-data evaluation (fuel trims, O2/AFR, MAF/MAP)
- Misfire isolation; vacuum/smoke testing (when applicable)
- Targeted part/system testing before replacement
Heads-up: Clearing codes without fixing the cause only hides the problem temporarily. We diagnose first so you don’t waste money on guesswork.
ABS/Traction & Airbag/SRS Diagnostics
ABS/Traction Issues
- Warning lights for ABS/ESC/Traction
- Wheel-speed sensor or hub/bearing tone ring faults
- Steering-angle sensor calibration needs
- Hydraulic modulator/valve body faults (confirmed by tests)
Airbag/SRS Issues
- SRS light on; stored crash data
- Seat occupancy/pretensioner circuit faults
- Clock spring/ribbon cable failures
- Connector/corrosion checks under seats & modules
For safety systems we do scan, test, repair/replace components where feasible on-site. Some SRS resets/programming may require a partner shop — we’ll advise.
Electrical, Battery, Starting & Charging
We Test
- Battery health & voltage drop
- Alternator output & ripple (diode check)
- Starter draw & cable integrity
- Parasitic key-off drain
- Blown fuses, shorts to ground, corroded grounds
Typical Fixes
- Battery or alternator replacement
- Starter or relay replacement
- Repair of damaged wiring/connectors
- Isolating and correcting aftermarket draw (lights, radios, add-ons)
Tip: Early signs like dim lights, slow crank, or intermittent no-start often point to charging/starting issues. Don’t wait until you’re stranded.
Pricing & Flat-Rate Visit

We do not rebuild transmissions or perform ECU reflashing/key programming on-site.
Diagnostics FAQ
Will you clear my codes?
We can clear codes after repairs or to verify a fix. Clearing codes without fixing the cause is not recommended and may hide critical issues.
Can you diagnose intermittent problems?
Yes. We use freeze-frame data, wiggle testing, and repeated drive cycles to reproduce faults. Some intermittent issues may require staged testing.
Do you work with customer-supplied parts?
Yes—please verify part numbers. Supplier handles parts warranty; our labor warranty applies to our work.
