Why You Should Pay for Testing and Evaluation

At Harrell & Beverly Transmissions & Auto Repair, we understand that when it comes to vehicle maintenance and repairs, there's often a question about paying for testing and diagnostics.


Yes, we do charge for initial testing and evaluation.


Many people think it's just "hooking up a gadget and pulling codes." But a code doesn't tell the complete story. We go several steps further by completing a road test (if possible), examining and testing individual components, and using scopes and tools that cover a wide range of systems to accurately diagnose the problem and what needs to be repaired.


Whether you choose Harrell & Beverly or not, we believe it is essential to take your car to a reputable shop with the proper equipment and knowledge to diagnose your concerns.


Let's delve into why you should pay for testing and evaluation and how it greatly benefits both your vehicle and your wallet.


Repair technician testing and evaluating a vehicle

1. Accurate Problem Identification

One of the primary reasons to pay for testing/inspections and diagnostics is to accurately identify the issues your vehicle may be experiencing. Our experienced technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to pinpoint the root cause of any problems. This ensures that we don't just address symptoms but tackle the underlying issues effectively, saving you time and money in the long run.
