Computer Diagnostics

Complete Automotive utilizes state-of-the-art diagnostic computer systems combined with your vehicles on-board diagnostics computer to help determine electrical, drivability, and safety problems. If your "Check Engine" light is on, it is important to take your vehicle in for service immediately.

Every car sold in the U.S. since 1996 features a built-in on-board diagnostics (OBD) computer to help your vehicle operate correctly.   An OBD monitors the performance of the engines' major components, including emission controls. The OBD system provides owners with an early warning of malfunctions by way of a dashboard "Check Engine" light.  By giving vehicle owners this early warning the OBD protects not only the environment, but also consumers, by identifying minor problems before they become major repair bills or safety issues.

Because the 'Check Engine' light only turns off, and on, it is impossible to tell if you have a small problem or a major safety issue by the light alone.  It is very important to have your vehicle inspected by a reputable technician with the proper tools for the job.  Complete Automotive understands the importance of your vehicles diagnostic systems and always has the right diagnostic tools on hand to ensure that your vehicle is safe and pleasurable to drive.
