Is a computer scan the same as a diagnosis?
No. A scan provides fault codes and system information. Diagnosis may also require visual checks, measurements and circuit or mechanical testing to identify the likely cause.

Vehicle Diagnostics
Structured testing for warning lights, starting problems, electrical faults and driveability concerns.
A warning light or symptom is only the starting point. We combine computer scanning with system testing and visual inspection to narrow down the likely cause before recommending repair work.
