When your car starts making strange noises, it’s time to get diagnostic testing done. This type of testing is important because it can help you figure out what’s wrong with your car and whether or not you need to take it in for repairs. There are a few different types of diagnostic tests that you can get done, and each one has its own benefits.
Code Reading
One type of diagnostic test is code reading. This is where one of our mechanics hooks up a special machine to your car and reads the codes that are being generated by your car’s computer. This can tell our mechanics what kind of problem you’re having and whether or not it’s something that can be fixed easily. Code reading is a relatively quick and easy process, so it’s a good option if you’re short on time.
Mechanical Testing
Another type of diagnostic test is mechanical testing. This is where our mechanics actually get under the hood and looks at all of the different parts of your engine. This type of test is important because it can help the mechanic find problems that might not be showing up on the computer codes. Mechanical testing can take a little longer than code reading, but it’s still relatively quick and easy.
Road Test
The last type of diagnostic test is a road test. This is where our mechanic would take your car out for a spin and listen for any strange noises or problems. Road tests are important because they can help our mechanics find problems that only happen when the car is moving. Road tests can take a little longer than code reading or mechanical testing, but they’re still relatively quick and easy.
