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.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I took my mazdaspeed 3 in for an alignment after installing coilovers and rear control arms. I was blown away by the hospitality of the guys that work there. Mark sent me text updates on the work being done all while answering any questions I had. It was nice to know my car was in good hands If they did engine and transmission work I would never take my car anywhere else.
Ace Auto of Charlottesville is professional and compassionate! Was out of town for a conference and car would not start before heading home 3 hours away. Called Ace Auto and John listened to my dilemma who then relayed it to Tony. Tony soon arrived and was able to get me and my co-worker back on the road in no time at all. He also suggested what to do since my battery is under warranty, and I'll be taking care of that in the morning. Tony even reached out to me this evening to make sure we got home alright. I cannot thank John and Tony enough for their help today, and thankful our paths crossed today!
