Occasionally we will get inquiries about our diagnostic or testing charge.
Some shops offer “free diagnostics” to get people into their shop. These are generally not much more than a visual inspection and guess of vehicle issues.
Here are a few reasons why quality shops charge to test a vehicle.
Cars are complex and we use and invest in the most advanced and current technology to look into your vehicle under the hood. By performing testing, we will get an overall accurate view on your cars complex systems.
Another result of testing is early detection identifying smaller issues that can become major potentially dangerous issues. Your engine works simultaneously with many systems. When one system fails it can take down other systems and parts which can lead to additional repairs and costly replacements of parts.
Our Jeno’s technicians are incredibly skilled and trained in finding and preventing further issues with your vehicle. Our mechanics have thousands of dollars invested in tools needed to get to the heart of your engine when necessary.
Also, an accurate diagnosis leads to fast and efficient repairs of issues. This saves you labor costs and ensures the problem is fixed right. That’s where we back up all our work with our NAPA 36-month 36,000-mile warranty.
By authorizing a complete test procedure, know you are essentially saving money over the long haul by staying ahead of costly repairs.
