Car diagnostics & scans in Glenorchy
Check engine light on? Car running rough, using more fuel, or throwing intermittent faults? Our Glenorchy workshop runs full computer diagnostics with current scan tools — engine, transmission, ABS, airbags and emissions — then explains the fault in plain English with a written quote for the fix.
Car Diagnostics — how we do it
Modern cars log precise fault codes long before you notice symptoms. Our diagnostic service reads every module (not just the engine), checks live sensor data, and — critically — interprets the results with experienced eyes. A fault code tells you where to look, not always what to replace; we test before we swap parts, which saves you money. You'll get a clear report of what was found, what's urgent, what can wait, and a fixed written quote for any repair. Diagnostics from $89, typically within an hour. We diagnose all makes and models for drivers across Glenorchy, Rosetta, Berriedale and greater Hobart.

Car Diagnostics FAQs
My check engine light is on — can I keep driving?
A steady light usually means a non-urgent fault, but don't ignore it. A flashing check engine light means stop driving and call us — it often indicates a misfire that can destroy the catalytic converter.
How much does a diagnostic scan cost?
From $89, which includes the scan, live-data testing and a plain-English explanation of the fault with a written quote for the repair. If you go ahead with the fix with us, we put that diagnostic time to work on the repair.
Can you diagnose intermittent faults?
Yes — intermittent issues are our bread and butter. Stored fault codes plus freeze-frame data usually reveal what happened even when the car behaves perfectly in the workshop. A note on when the fault appears helps a lot.
Do you do auto electrical work too?
Yes — wiring, batteries, alternators, starter motors, lighting and sensor replacement are all done in-house at our Glenorchy workshop.
