Car diagnostics in Mildura
Check engine light on, car in limp mode, or something just doesn't feel right? We scan the car's computer, test the system involved, and find the actual fault before quoting a fix.
Diagnostics
What a diagnosis includes
- Scan tool check of the engine, transmission, ABS and airbag systems
- Fault codes read and recorded
- Live data check of sensors while the engine runs
- Hands-on testing to pinpoint the faulty part or wiring
- A clear explanation of the fault and a quote before any repair
- Codes cleared and the car re-checked once the repair is done
Good to know
A code points to a system, not a part
A fault code tells us which system has a problem, not always which part has failed. A code for an oxygen sensor, for example, could be the sensor itself, a wiring fault, or an air leak making the sensor read wrong.
That's why we test before replacing anything. It takes a little longer up front, but it means you pay for the right repair once instead of swapping parts until the light goes out.
When to book a diagnosis
- Check engine light is on (if it's flashing, stop driving and call us)
- The car has gone into limp mode or lost power
- Rough idle, misfiring or stalling
- Hard starting, especially when hot
- Fuel use has suddenly gone up
- ABS, airbag or traction control lights are on

FAQ
Diagnostics questions
What's the difference between a steady and a flashing check engine light?
A steady light means the car has logged a fault that needs checking soon. A flashing light usually means a serious misfire that can damage the catalytic converter. Pull over when safe and call us.
Can't I just clear the code?
You can, but the light will come back if the fault is still there, and clearing it wipes information that helps find the cause. It's better to diagnose first.
How much does diagnosis cost?
It depends on the fault and the vehicle. Call us, describe the symptoms, and we'll give you an idea of cost before you bring it in.
