Car Diagnostics
Before we begin any repairs, we will run a series of diagnostic tests. These tests will help us identify problem areas that require maintenance or repair. At Paul's Transmission & Auto Repair, we use a combination of computer-driven technology and years of mechanical training to accurately diagnose your vehicle. Our state-of-the-art equipment allows us to efficiently determine the exact needs of your vehicle.

Assessing Your On-Board Diagnostic System
Most modern vehicles come with an on-board diagnostic (OBD) system built right into the vehicle. Using specialized computer software, we will tap into your OBD system. This will give us a broad overview of your vehicle’s current health and functioning. If there are inefficiencies or malfunctions, the software will accurately identify it for us. If you have ever seen your ‘check engine light’ come on, you are already familiar with your vehicle’s OBD.
This process dramatically improves the efficiency of our vehicle diagnostic tests. Once we know where the issues are located, we can go in and repair both the electrical and mechanical components that are failing.
Automotive Diagnostic Testing
In addition to the information we’re able to get from your vehicle’s computer system, we will also run a series of tests on specific components. In most cases, we will run these tests regardless of whether you know what is wrong with your vehicle or not. These tests may include:
Brake tests
Signal and headlight tests
Electrical system tests
Transmission tests
Engine efficiency and cooling
Exhaust system tests
By diagnosing current and future malfunctions, we ensure that all our clients leave Paul's Transmission & Auto Repair with a vehicle that’s efficient and safe.

Engine Diagnostic Testing
If your check engine light has come on, it’s time you brought it to Paul's Transmission & Auto Repair for a closer look.
Your engine needs to be running at peak efficiency at all times. What does ‘peak efficiency’ mean? It means your engine will have the longevity you expect without wasting your money on extra fuel to power it. Engine diagnostics give us an inside look at the functioning, wear, and efficiency of your engine.
We will run your engine through our computer system to check the exhaust, transmission, oil tank, and the unnecessary heat it may be producing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is included in a car diagnostic test?
Our comprehensive car diagnostic test includes scanning your vehicle’s onboard computer (OBD-II), checking for error codes, and testing key systems such as the engine, transmission, exhaust, brakes, electrical components, and cooling system. This helps us identify mechanical or electronic issues accurately.
Why should I get a diagnostic test for my vehicle?
A diagnostic test helps detect hidden problems early, preventing costly breakdowns and repairs. It also ensures your vehicle runs efficiently, safely, and meets emissions standards, especially if you're experiencing warning lights like the “Check Engine” light.
How long does a car diagnostic test take?
Most diagnostic tests take between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the issue and the number of systems being tested. We aim to complete diagnostics quickly so we can move forward with repairs right away.
Can you diagnose the Check Engine Light?
Yes! One of the most common reasons people bring their cars in is because the Check Engine Light is on. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we’ll connect to your vehicle’s computer system to read the trouble codes and determine the exact cause of the issue.
Do you provide a detailed report after the diagnostic test?
Absolutely. After completing the diagnostic, we provide a clear, easy-to-understand report outlining any issues found, recommended repairs, and estimated costs. Our goal is transparency and helping you make informed decisions about your vehicle.
