Our Diagnostic Arsenal
Yeah, we're kinda geeky about our equipment. Here's what we're working with...
OBD-II & Factory-Level Scanners
We're not messing around with those cheap code readers from the auto parts store. Our scanners talk directly to every module in your car - engine, transmission, ABS, airbags, climate control, you name it. They pull live data while you're driving, which means we can actually see what's happening instead of guessing.
- Reads manufacturer-specific codes
- Live data streaming & graphing
- Bi-directional controls for testing
Multi-Channel Oscilloscopes
This is where things get interesting. When you've got an intermittent issue or something electrical acting weird, the scope shows us the actual voltage patterns and signals. It's like having X-ray vision for your car's electrical system. Great for tracking down those problems that only happen "sometimes."
- Pinpoints electrical gremlins
- Tests sensors & actuators
- Captures intermittent faults
EVAP Smoke Machine
Ever have that annoying check engine light for an "evaporative emission leak"? Instead of spending hours checking every hose and connection, we pump harmless smoke through the system and literally watch where it comes out. Sounds simple, but it saves tons of time and keeps labor costs down for you.
- Finds vacuum leaks fast
- EVAP system testing
- Intake manifold leak detection
Compression & Leak-Down Testing
When we need to check the internal health of your engine, these tests tell us if your cylinders are sealing properly. Low compression? We can tell if it's valves, rings, or head gasket issues. It's old-school testing that still gives us info the computers can't.
- Engine internal condition
- Identifies ring & valve issues
- Pre-purchase engine checks
