I was reading all the nice reviews which made me want to come there. I decided to call before driving there and I was quoted $166.00 for a diagnosis on check engine light...that’s expensive for just telling me what’s wrong with my car.
I am so sorry that I didn't see your comment until now as I would have explained to you that it's not just a quick check to determine the reason your vehicle has a check engine light. We carry a full line of factory computers. We connect the appropriate computer to your particular vehicle and run tests to determine which codes the check engine light is signaling. Once that is completed the Technician has to research the codes to determine the status. From those codes most often the Technician can then determine the issue with the vehicle. The Technician's time along with the equipment utilized to diagnosis is the breakdown on the cost you were quoted. We also include a 30-point inspection as a courtesy with a digital report and photos. Please know that we take our responsibilities very seriously and when we diagnose a vehicle, we want to make sure that our technicians have the most up to date diagnostic tools available. Please feel free to call me at anytime. Thank you and I apologize for the late response. All the best, Paula Fay 805-581-2340
