Finding the Problem Fast

Modern vehicles rely on a network of sensors, modules and onboard computers to keep everything running efficiently. When something goes wrong, the car stores error codes that tell us exactly where to look—whether it’s the ignition system, transmission, fuel injection or ABS. We don’t just read the code—we interpret it, test related components and make sure the issue is truly resolved.



We can diagnose electrical faults, sensor failures, airbag warnings, engine misfires and more. And if you’ve had ongoing issues or repairs that didn’t solve the problem, a proper diagnostic assessment can save you time and money by getting straight to the root cause.


If something feels off, don’t wait for it to escalate. A simple scan could be the first step to avoiding a breakdown. Call Gricey’s Workshop Automotive Specialist to schedule your diagnostic check.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a car diagnostic test show?

    A car diagnostic test reveals fault codes stored in the vehicle’s computer system. These codes indicate problems with various systems such as the engine, transmission, emissions, ABS, airbags and more. A technician uses a scan tool to retrieve the codes, interpret what they mean and inspect the corresponding parts. This process helps identify both obvious and hidden issues before they cause major problems.

  • When should I get a car diagnostic test?

    You should consider a diagnostic test if your check engine light comes on, your car feels sluggish, strange noises develop or if fuel economy drops unexpectedly. It’s also smart to get a scan before long trips or after purchasing a used vehicle. Early testing can prevent breakdowns and reduce repair costs by catching faults before they worsen.

  • How long does a car diagnostic take?

    Basic diagnostics using a scan tool can take as little as 30 minutes, but more in-depth testing may take longer, especially if manual inspections are needed. For example, if a code points to a sensor fault, the technician might need to test wiring, voltage or related components to confirm the issue. A good mechanic won’t just clear the code—they’ll fix the actual cause.
