Auto Diagnostic FAQs
How do vehicle diagnostic systems work?
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a sophisticated computer that collects vital information from a network of sensors, monitoring engine performance, emissions, and other key functions. It not only regulates various car systems but also acts as a diagnostic tool, alerting you to potential problems before they become major issues.
How long does a car diagnostic last?
While a basic diagnostic test typically wraps up in 1-1.5 hours, complex issues demanding further examination and component access/testing can extend the process to 2-3 hours. The length ultimately depends on the severity of the problem and the potential presence of multiple underlying culprits.
What is included in a car diagnostic test?
Diagnostic tests are like X-rays for your vehicle, utilizing specialized equipment to scan its complex systems and components like the engine, transmission, and throttle. From minor oil tank issues to intricate electrical glitches, these tests diagnose a wide range of potential problems. However, interpreting the data they generate requires trained professionals, making dealer shops and skilled mechanics your best bet for accurate diagnoses.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
If you want to give your car into honest and trustful hands, look no further! We recently moved from Europe and had bad luck buying a rusty car, which they found out during a thorough inspection and kept us updated about every step of the process. In the end, instead of talking us into (very) costly repairs, they suggested to sell it and gave us invaluable tips and recommendations. This will be my go-to shop in Portland now. Big shout-out to Brian and the entire team!
I’ve been here twice. Both times I was dealing with Brian. And they are truly an amazing and compassionate auto shop. The first time I brought my car in was to get my alternator replaced, and it was the cheapest out of all the other auto shops in my area. So they aren’t out trying to charge outrageous prices. That was a pretty cut and dry experience, they fixed my car at a great price, and my alternator is still going strong. What really blew me away with this auto shop was the experience I had with them today. I brought my car in thinking that I had a leaking coolant hose which is usually a cheap fix but Brian ended up telling me that it was actually the entire coolant reservoir that needed to be replaced, making it $200 more expensive than what I thought I was going to be paying. The shop understood my situation and showed me complete compassion today that I couldn’t even believe. Totally saving my livelihood. Will recommend to others. 5/5
