AUTO DIAGNOSTICS FAQ
Questions Pontiac drivers ask
Is a code scan the same as a diagnosis?
A scan provides fault information that helps guide testing. It does not always identify the part that needs replacement. Diagnosis uses the symptoms and appropriate checks to investigate the cause.
Can you tell me the repair cost over the phone?
Tell us your vehicle details, warning lights, and symptoms. We can discuss the diagnostic process and fees, but the repair recommendation depends on what testing finds.
Is diagnosis free?
Call to discuss diagnostic pricing and what the initial service covers before booking. We do not advertise a free diagnostic service.
How long does diagnostic testing take?
Timing depends on the concern and whether it can be reproduced. We explain the next steps if further testing is needed. Call for current availability.
What information should I have when I call?
Have the year, make, model, mileage, and a description of the symptoms ready. Mention when the issue happens and any recent repairs.
Will you ask before repairing the vehicle?
Yes. We explain the findings, recommended work, and price, and get your approval before repairs begin.
