Diagnostic Testing
Harris Automotive uses state of the art equipment to provide you with the most precise and detailed information possible. When the “Check Engine Light” or “Dashboard Lights” illuminate, there are multiple malfunctions that could trigger the light to come on. In order to isolate the issue, a technician must connect a scan tool to review the codes stored in the vehicle’s internal computer and begin the diagnostic process. Once the diagnosis is complete and the issue is isolated, you’ll have a better understanding of what repairs will be necessary. Our technicians will provide the best options and advice for repair to get you back on the road as swiftly as possible.

FAQ Diagnostic Testing
How long does a diagnostic test take?
A standard car diagnostic test will take anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. The time will vary depending on what problems were presented as a reason for the diagnostic and the severity of the problems found. If the issue is complex, a diagnostic test could take as much time as two to four hours.
Should I get a diagnostic test when I buy a new vehicle?
This is always a great idea, especially when purchasing a used vehicle! The dealership has likely run diagnostic tests on the car and its computer systems already, but getting it to a trusted, third-party mechanic will help reveal any issues that may have been missed or overlooked. If you’re purchasing from a reputable seller, they should agree to third-party diagnostics being run before you complete your purchase.
Are vehicle diagnostics accurate?
How accurate the results are is going to depend on how up-to-date the tools and equipment being used are. The car industry is changing every day, and auto repair shops need to keep up with the latest technology. That’s why at Harris Automotive, we constantly invest in new technologies, subscriptions, and tools to make sure you receive the most accurate, up-to-date car diagnostics on the market.
