  • Hands-on inspectionCheck wiring, vacuum lines, connectors, fluid levels and visible leaks.
  • Symptom road testReproduce the problem when it only happens on the road or under load.

  • Written estimateA price for the repair before we start. The diagnostic fee is $135, explained up front.

  • Strange noises or smellsKnocking, whining, burning or fuel smells should be checked soon.

FAQs

Engine Diagnostics questions

Why is my check engine light on?

It can be anything from a loose gas cap to a failing sensor or a misfire. The only way to know is to pull the codes and test the system.

Is it safe to keep driving with the check engine light on?

A steady light usually means you can drive to a shop soon. A flashing light means an active misfire that can damage the catalytic converter, so slow down and stop driving as soon as it is safe.

Will you just read the code and replace parts?

No. A code points to a system, not a part. We test to confirm the cause before recommending repair.

How long does a diagnosis take?

We'll give you a time estimate when you book.

Do you diagnose lifted and modified trucks?

Yes. Tunes, lifts, larger tires and aftermarket parts can all affect data and codes, so tell us what is on the truck.

Can you diagnose problems that come and go?

Often yes, with data logging and a road test. Tell us when it happens: cold start, highway speed, towing or hot weather.

Does a diagnosis help with a failed emissions test?

Yes. Most emissions failures start with a diagnosis so the right repair is made once. See our emissions testing page.

Do you serve all of Utah County?

Yes. Drivers come to us from Springville, Spanish Fork, Mapleton, Provo, Orem, Payson and across Utah County.
