Today’s average car engine has over 200 significant parts and components that owners have to maintain. And each engine component and part is vital to your vehicle’s performance.

At Columbia Auto Care & Car Wash, we are proud to be the leading auto repair facility in Columbia, MD. We specialize in performing engine diagnostics on virtually all makes and models of vehicles. We offer the tools and technology to quickly perform the necessary diagnostic test and administer the needed maintenance and repairs.

How to Tell if You Need an Engine Diagnostic Test?

In the old days, the only way to tell if your engine was running well was to listen to the sound it made. And if you missed an audible warning of impending trouble, the next thing you know, you’d be dealing with misfires and other performance problems. 

You can still listen for signs of engine problems, but it’s not your only option. Fortunately, Columbia Auto Care & Car Wash offers a fast and affordable diagnostic test designed to efficiently detect problems with your engine. 

Some of the most common signs and indicators that you need a car diagnostic test include:

  1. Check engine light
  2. Odd smells
  3. Power outages
  4. Your vehicle stops and restarts
  5. A decrease in your gas mileage
  6. Strange sounds
  7. Your engine is “rough-running”
  8. It has been more than a year since your last car diagnostic test

     

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, Columbia Auto Care & Car Wash can help.

The Engine Diagnostic Process

When you bring your car in for engine diagnostics, the first thing we do is connect our state-of-the-art equipment to your vehicle to see which trouble code caused the warning. 

Unlike other auto repair facilities, our cutting-edge car diagnostic test leverages real-time data from your vehicle’s onboard computer. This enables us to monitor engine conditions actively while your car’s running to get a more detailed view of the problem, which is the key. 

Because so many of your engine’s systems rely on other systems to function correctly, the root cause of your engine trouble may not be apparent based on the trouble code alone. 

Fortunately, our engine diagnostics mechanics and technicians take it a step further with comprehensive analysis. Once we identify the source of the problem, we will offer the best auto repair or maintenance solution to protect your vehicle and wallet.
