Advanced Computer & Electronic Diagnostics

Ever since the early 1980s vehicles have had onboard computers.  In the early days these computers only controlled a few items, but today’s computers are very sophisticated and control and/or monitor most every aspect of vehicle operation.  Just like personal computers and other electronic devices modern vehicle computer technology is constantly changing.

It takes knowledge, training and experience to properly diagnose and repair the computers and electronic components on today’s vehicles.  Simply replacing components without first diagnosing the problem will cost you unnecessary time and money.  We can figure out why and then make the required repair if you have a warning light illuminated or blinking, some common examples include the following:

• Engine, emission and EVAP systems (check engine light)
• Transmission (overdrive light)
• Transfer case (four wheel drive)
• Anti-lock brake system (ABS light)
• Body control systems (power seats, instrument panel, etc…)
• Starting and charging system (battery/charging light)
