Why diagnose your vehicle?
A warning light on? An unusual noise? A loss of performance? Electronic diagnostics can quickly identify the source of a problem, before it becomes more serious… and more costly.
Today’s vehicles are increasingly complex: engines, brakes, transmission, air conditioning, safety… everything is electronically controlled.
A simple warning light can hide a mechanical, electrical or software problem. A good diagnosis allows you to:
- Pinpoint the source of a problem (even intermittent ones)
- Save time and avoid unnecessary repairs
- Detect on-board computer error codes
- Prevent future breakdowns by intervening at the right moment
- Evaluate the general condition of the vehicle (useful before a purchase or a long trip)
At Alex Pneu et Mécanique, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools compatible with most makes and models. Our team analyzes codes, checks related systems and delivers a clear, jargon-free report. Request an appointment today – we’ll pinpoint the real problem.
Frequently asked questions about electrical diagnostics
What is the purpose of electronic diagnostics?
An electronic diagnostic test allows you to quickly detect problems recorded by the vehicle’s sensors (engine, transmission, brakes, etc.). This helps identify the source of a warning light or abnormal behavior without unnecessary disassembly.
When should I have a diagnostic test performed?
As soon as a warning light comes on in the dashboard (e.g., check engine, ABS, airbag), or if you notice any unusual signs: difficult starting, loss of power, excessive fuel consumption, strange noises, or vibrations.
Can diagnostics find all problems?
It identifies faults detected by electronic sensors, but some mechanical or physical problems (wear, leaks, noises) may require visual inspection or additional tests.
Do I have to pay for the diagnosis even if I don't have the repairs done?
Yes, you will have to pay for the time the technician spent performing the diagnosis, even if you do not have the repairs done.
Can you diagnose all types of vehicles?
Can a warning light be cleared without repair?
It is possible to reset certain warning lights, but if the underlying problem is not corrected, the warning light will quickly reappear. This is a temporary solution that should be avoided unless absolutely necessary (e.g., after a repair has already been carried out).
