What is the process of an auto diagnostic test?
Often referred to as a ‘engine diagnostic test’, the process of performing a diagnostic test on your vehicle is not time-consuming at all. Let’s run through the process:
Step 1: One of our technicians discuss and document exactly what you are experiencing with your vehicle.
Step 2: A standard set of basic vehicle checks will be performed.
Step 3: Any recent service or manufacturer updates will be checked to ascertain if the described symptoms could be because of a faulty batch of parts that can result in recalls and service updates.
Step 4: Next up will be the conducting of a logical, systematic car engine test diagnostic procedure.
Step 5: At anytime during the procedure the technician might contact the relevant technical support line to share data and the support staff will work together with the technician to identify the problem.
Step 6: Once the diagnostic procedure has been completed, the technician will relay the findings to you, as the vehicle owner.
Step 7: Our office will prepare a detailed quotation for the required repairs before proceeding. It might happen that a faulty part needs to be replaced first before the technician can continue with the remainder of the testing.
Step 8: Once all repairs have been carried out, another diagnostic test is carried out on the vehicle and the data is saved for future reference.
Step 9: All documentation related to the repairs is finalised by the technician.
Step 10: Before the vehicle is returned to you, the technician will carry out a test drive to ensure all is running smoothly.
