What Our Car Diagnostic Service Covers

A complete diagnostic check can uncover small issues before they become expensive repairs. We use manufacturer-level diagnostic tools to assess all makes and models, ensuring accuracy for foreign and domestic cars alike. Throughout the process, you hear honest answers—clear, direct, and pressure-free—so you know exactly what to expect moving forward.

Our car computer's diagnostic service includes:

  • Check engine light assessments.

After we review our findings with you, you decide how to proceed—no unwanted upsell, just reliable answers and options that empower your decision.

We regularly spot concerns unique to Central Indiana, such as wear from freeze-thaw cycles or effects of seasonal road treatments. If your check engine light flickers intermittently or stays lit, our thorough process considers both emission factors and state requirements for vehicle inspections in Indiana. By providing clear details, we help you avoid surprises and keep your vehicle safe on local roads.
