Buying a Used Car?
Here’s Why a Diagnostic Test is Crucial
If you’re considering buying a used car, we highly recommend having a diagnostic test performed before purchase. Both private sellers and car dealerships should be open to this process. If they resist, it could be a red flag indicating significant issues with the vehicle that they may not want you to discover.

How Does It Work?
We connect to your vehicle’s onboard computer using specialized testing equipment to check for error codes, voltage, and pressure levels. Our diagnostic tools can also access your car’s computer system to retrieve manufacturer notifications and stored information about the vehicle’s history.
Diagnostic tests can reveal problems with:
- Engine
- Transmission
- Brakes
- Exhaust System
- Fuel Injection System
- Air Flow
- Coolant
- Throttle
A common misconception about vehicle diagnostic tests is that technicians can immediately determine the exact problem that triggered the check engine light. In reality, the code only indicates which components are out of range or failing to send a signal. This is where our technicians’ experience and training are crucial in diagnosing the underlying issue.
