Anyone who has stepped into an automotive shop for a service has known the trickery that can be diagnostic fees. Diagnostic testing is a necessary and vital step in the automotive repair process, but that doesn't mean you should have to pay extra for it. Running diagnostics can take anywhere from a half an hour to two hours. During this time, the mechanic is to 'diagnose' the problem and how it can be repaired. Most shops (in California mostly) will charge for the initial diagnostic PLUS the labor that the repair actually requires. Yuck.
We choose to operate differently. We offer a free diagnostic if the recommended repair is performed the same day. So you could save $42-$168 off your bill and complete the repair in just a couple hours.
