A check-engine light, warning message or performance problem can have many possible causes. Carter Automotive Repair Service uses professional diagnostic equipment and hands-on testing to identify the source of the problem before recommending repairs.
Whether your vehicle is running poorly, losing power, using more fuel or displaying a dashboard warning light, our ASE-certified technicians will help you understand what is happening and what should be done next.
A diagnostic trouble code identifies the system or operating condition that detected a problem. It does not always identify the component that should be replaced.
The same code may be caused by a failed sensor, damaged wiring, a vacuum leak, an ignition problem or another condition affecting the system. Replacing parts based only on a code can lead to unnecessary repairs without correcting the original problem.
Our technicians use trouble codes, live vehicle data, visual inspections and hands-on testing to identify the underlying cause before recommending repairs.
Because many problems can produce similar symptoms or trouble codes, proper testing is necessary before determining which repair is needed.
Diagnostic procedures vary based on the vehicle, warning light and symptoms. Some intermittent or complex problems may require additional testing time.
