What are car diagnostics?
Car diagnostics is simply the process of electronically testing the performance of your vehicle.
Performing a car diagnostic can help to reveal a number of problems in your engine whether that’s to do with:
The transmission
Oil tank
Fuel tank
Exhaust system and other various components of the vehicle
Modern vehicles are designed using and including technology, such as computer processors, microchips and sensors, which can be linked to a car diagnostic computer scan to pinpoint exactly where the problem is. The scans are performed at a car garage or at the garage of certified mechanic. Some scans can even be performed at home using a hand-held scanning device, however these can be very costly.
What are the benefits?
Performing a car diagnostic test using an auto scan tool can save the mechanic a lot of time troubleshooting a problem and also save the car owner money because they don't have to pay for a complete mechanical check at their local repair centre.
When the "Check Engine" light appears on the dashboard, the car owner has no idea what could be causing the problem. By running a computerised car diagnostic check it can highlight the problem quickly so that the mechanic can fix only what needs to be fixed. Most car diagnostic checks can be performed in under an hour.
