Frequently Asked Questions
What is a car diagnostic test and how does it work?
A car diagnostic test is a process that uses specialised scan tools to identify issues within a vehicle’s electronic systems. Modern vehicles contain dozens of sensors and onboard computers that monitor everything from engine performance to emissions. During a diagnostic test, a technician connects a scan tool to the car’s onboard diagnostic (OBD) port to read error codes and live data. These codes help pinpoint problems in systems such as the engine, transmission, battery, exhaust, air conditioning and more. The test doesn’t fix the problem, but it accurately identifies what needs attention, which is essential for efficient and cost-effective repairs.
When should I get a vehicle diagnostic test?
It’s best to get a vehicle diagnostic test when the check engine light appears or if the car is showing signs of trouble, such as strange noises, reduced power, unusual vibrations or poor fuel economy. Diagnostics are also a smart choice before a long road trip, when buying a used car, or as part of routine maintenance—especially for older vehicles. By identifying issues early, diagnostics help prevent unexpected breakdowns and expensive repairs. Even if there are no visible signs of a problem, regular testing can catch hidden faults before they worsen.
How long does a car diagnostic test take?
A standard car diagnostic test typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the issue and how many systems need to be checked. In some cases, additional time may be required if further inspection is needed based on the results. While the scan itself is relatively quick, interpreting the data and confirming the cause of a problem may take longer. It's important not to rush the process, as accurate diagnosis is key to getting the right repairs done the first time.
