Computer Diagnostics

Our nearby auto repair shop is equipped with the latest computer aided diagnostic scan tools. This equipment effectively allows us to directly communicate with the vehicle so we can quickly and accurately pinpoint problems. This technology, which is the same that dealerships use, is an investment into our customers, as it provides us the opportunity to offer the fastest and most successful service possible.

Check Engine Light Repair

Among the most common digital indications of car trouble is the check engine light. This little glowing engine on your dashboard can be triggered by a plethora of problems, but most are quite small. However, what starts out as a relatively inexpensive faulty sensor, misfire indication, or EVAP alert, could result in the need for a new catalytic converter or other more costly repairs if not quickly addressed. As soon as the light illuminates, come see us for proper check engine light repair in San Rafael.

Dashboard Warning Lights

Your car's dashboard hosts a variety of warning lights that will illuminate if onboard sensors detect trouble in various systems. This includes lights for the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) anti-lock braking system (ABS), oil pressure, alternator (ALT) or engine temperature, among others. If any dash light illuminates in your car, be sure to come see us for diagnostics.
