Vehicle diagnosis

Everything You Need to Know

Regular diagnostic tests can detect problems with your vehicle before they require expensive repairs. Pantech Auto Technicians offer Guildford car diagnostics tests to those driving in and around Surrey.

 

What is a Car Diagnostics Test?

A car diagnostics test involves using special software to highlight developing faults and issues that are causing problems to your vehicle’s engine or elsewhere systems. This can be detected due to built-in processors, microchips, and sensors.

 

What happens during a Car Diagnostics Test?

The test will report on the engine, transmission, ignition coils, exhaust, oil tank, fuel injectors, throttle, coolants, airflow and other systems.

The diagnostics check will not include the cost of repairs, replacement parts or recoding. If the garage is unable to offer a suitable repair, they will provide you with the fault codes that will enable you to obtain repair quotes from specialists.

A full test can take between an hour and 90 minutes to complete. If issues are uncovered that make things more complicated, or components need to be removed for the test to be performed, the time can increase. This does not include the time required to fix any of the issues or problems discovered.
