Frequently Asked Questions
What does a diagnostic appointment cost?+
A standard diagnostic session is billed at our shop rate, typically one hour. We credit the time toward the repair if you book the fix with us.
Can you read codes from any truck?+
Yes - we cover all major heavy-duty platforms and most light-duty diesels with dealer-level tools.
My check engine light is on but the truck runs fine. Do I still need diagnostics?+
Yes. Many emissions and injector codes start as a warning long before the truck derates or shuts down on the road.
