Auto Diagnostic FAQs
How do vehicle diagnostic systems work?
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a sophisticated computer that collects vital information from a network of sensors, monitoring engine performance, emissions, and other key functions. It not only regulates various car systems but also acts as a diagnostic tool, alerting you to potential problems before they become major issues.
How long does a car diagnostic last?
While a basic diagnostic test typically wraps up in 1-1.5 hours, complex issues demanding further examination and component access/testing can extend the process to 2-3 hours. The length ultimately depends on the severity of the problem and the potential presence of multiple underlying culprits.
What is included in a car diagnostic test?
Diagnostic tests are like X-rays for your vehicle, utilizing specialized equipment to scan its complex systems and components like the engine, transmission, and throttle. From minor oil tank issues to intricate electrical glitches, these tests diagnose a wide range of potential problems. However, interpreting the data they generate requires trained professionals, making dealer shops and skilled mechanics your best bet for accurate diagnoses.

Trustworthy, Courteous, Professional... Issue: Clunking noise, under front passenger side when driving Affordable Automotive completely surpassed my expectations when I took my car to them, after another repair shop quoted that I needed a new CV Axle and that the total cost would be $1700 to replace. I took it to AA on a whim and received a prompt, polite call that stated the issue was only a loose caliper. They stated they tightened and that the cost was zero bc all they had to do was to tighten the bolts. I did ask them to do another service while it was there and paid for that of course. They did a 40+ inspection on my car and provided me a report of what else may need service in the future. I am now 6+ weeks from that service and the car is still quiet and driving well. Unlike MOST service stations, AA is trusting and the cost of labor is budget friendly and the staff are extremely knowledgeable and polite. If you have any issues with your automobile, don't hesitate to take it to Affordable Automotive, they will have you back on the road quickly while easy on your pockets! I appreciate your honesty and you now have a customer for life!
I bought my tires from them a year ago and suddenly I had a flat from a screw. I was distraught and called to see if they could help, and they were amazing! They couldn't patch it but they got my donut on and ordered a new tire. The next day I came straight from work and my car is highway ready again! And no cost to be because my tires were covered by road Hazard protection!
