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.
