Take Advantage of Our State-of-the-Art Car Diagnostic Services

Have you ever wondered what a car diagnostic is and how it works? At Auto Specialty of Lafayette, Inc, we provide high-tech diagnostic services with our state-of-the-art equipment. This service can help identify the exact issue that’s causing trouble for your vehicle. Below is a brief guide outlining what a car diagnostic is, how it works, and when you should schedule one.

What Is a Car Diagnostic & How Does It Work?

When your check engine light comes on, a car diagnostic test can help determine the cause of what triggered the onset of the check engine light. It can also help diagnose any issues your vehicle may have, such as engine problems or transmission malfunctions. At Auto Specialty, we use a completely wireless state-of-the-art diagnostic system. When connected to your vehicle’s internal computer, it downloads coded information that can help determine the specific issue.

What Can a Car Diagnostic Tell Me?

A car diagnostic system can give you information on many of the different working systems within your vehicle. It can pinpoint various malfunctions within the mechanical and electrical systems, such as:

  • Backup sensors
  • Tire pressure
  • Anti-lock brakes
  • Airbags
  • Ignition timing
  • Fuel injectors

When Do I Need a Car Diagnostic?

When any of the warning lights turn on in your vehicle, a car diagnostic is definitely in order. Often a basic scan will not provide enough information to diagnose the exact issue. This is where a car diagnostic is a necessity. Also, if you suspect something is just not working right, our technicians can certainly perform a car diagnostic for you.
