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!
By far the best car repair shop I've used. Great communication, car experts, great listeners, courteous, and great customer service. Dakota and Darrel truly made me a believer that real car repair services DO exist, and right here in Farmington. Darrel's Firestone is what car repair should be like! From the moment I called, I explained my circumstances. I was welcomed to drop off my car, no waiting for weeks for an appointment. Very quickly, I had a diagnosis for my car which made sense. Within a short amount of time, the required part was ordered, received and repaired. If you have had bad experiences with dealerships, (we all know what those experiences feel like) Please try Darrel's Firestone! You'll feel like you won the lottery, you'll feel liberated from the stranglehold that dealerships seem so entitled to place on customers. And you'll get great, confident service! Like a lot of people, I've experienced horrible service at the hands of a dealership. If interested, see my review of Feldman Kia in Novi and the inexcusable service/non service I experienced there.
Great service, fair prices
