Diagnostic Policy

Diagnostic Services: 

A diagnostic is a professional service performed to identify the cause of a vehicle concern. Diagnostics may include scanning vehicle systems, testing components, inspections, and applying professional knowledge to determine the (most likely cause) of the issue. 

Diagnostics are a PAID SERVICE and are not the same as repair labor.  

Diagnostic Fee: 

The diagnostic fee is $75   

The diagnostic fee is required BEFORE or AT the time that diagnostics are performed  

Diagnostic fees are NON-REFUNDABLE 

Diagnostic fees are separate from repair, labor, and parts.  

Payment of the diagnostic fee does not obligate the customer to approve services.   

 

What The Diagnostic Fee Covers: 

Time spent inspecting and testing the vehicle 

Use of diagnostic tools and equipment  

Professional evaluation of the concern 

Explanation of findings

Additional diagnostic time or testing beyond initial concern may require additional fees 

Repair Estimates and Authorization:

No repairs are performed without customer approval  

Approval may be given in writing or by text message 

___________________________________________________________________

Important Disclosures: 

Diagnostic results are based on condition of vehicle at time of inspection  

Vehicle systems are complex; a diagnostic identifies the MOST LIKELY CAUSE, not a guarantee. 

Some issues may require additional diagnostics if new symptoms appear  

Completing a diagnostic does NOT guarantee that repairs will fully resolve the issues 
___________________________________________________________________

Customer Responsibility:  

The customer is responsible for deciding whether to approve or decline repairs 

Declined repairs may affect vehicle safety or performance and will be documented 

Customer-supplied parts are installed at customers risk and are not warrantied

Payment Terms: 

The $75 diagnostic fee is due regardless of whether repairs are approved 

Failure to pay may result in refusal of further services 

The diagnostic fee is due before diagnostic begins or at time of diagnosis 

Paying with a card issues a 3% processing fee on top of state taxes 

Paying with cash does not include the 3% processing fee 

___________________________________________________________________

Right To Refuse Service: 

We reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service due to: 

Non-payment
