Diesel Diagnostics FAQ

How long does a diagnostic take?
Most diagnostics are completed in 30 to 60 minutes. Complex faults may take longer depending on the issue.

Can you perform diagnostics roadside?
Yes. Our mobile service trucks are fully equipped with laptops, regen tools, and OEM software.

Will I get a copy of the fault codes?
Absolutely. We provide a full printout of ECM codes and detailed repair recommendations.

What if I already had a code scan done elsewhere?
Unlike basic scans, we use full dealership-level diagnostic software to pinpoint and verify root causes, not just read fault codes.
