(Minimum 1 Hour – thorough investigation, not just clearing codes)

• Vehicle History & Initial Interview
– Ask vehicle owner for symptoms, when it happens, what conditions (cold/hot, speed/load)
– Review any prior repairs or related history

• Pre-Scan Preparation
– Visual inspection of obvious issues (loose connections, leaks, damage)
– Check fluid levels, battery state, grounding points, and basic systems health

• Code Retrieval & Scanning
– Connect scan tool and read all stored, pending, and freeze-frame codes
– Print or save code results
– Not just clearing fault codes — we use them to guide testing

• Live-Data Monitoring & Analysis
– Monitor live sensor data while engine is running
– Compare values to known good parameters
– Look for intermittent faults, delayed responses, out-of-range values

• Targeted System Testing
– Perform component tests: actuators, relays, switches, circuits
– Use multimeter, oscilloscope, pressure gauges, smoke tester, etc.
– Test suspect parts/systems under load where appropriate

• Functional Verification
– Confirm cause of the fault — verify it reproduces
– Correlate scan data with physical test results
– Distinguish between root cause versus symptom

• Research & Technical Reference Work
– Look up service-specific diagrams, TSBs, fault tables, manufacturer procedure
– Consult known-good values and repair practices
– Time spent researching uncommon or intermittent faults

• Confirming Fix Strategy
– Identify which part(s) or repair actions are required
– Check OE vs aftermarket options
– Determine additional labour and parts that may be needed

• Sourcing Parts & Pricing Availability
– Research part numbers and alternatives
– Check stock availability with suppliers
– Include freight times if not in local stock
– Price out components to give accurate quote

• Detailed Quoting & Customer Communication
– Provide an itemised quote with clear descriptions
– Explain recommended repairs, options, risks, and warranty
– Confirm customer approval before any further work

• Verification & System Reset (if applicable)
– Confirm repair success after part replacement
– Clear codes only after confirmed fix
– Test drive to ensure issue is resolved


 Not always. We test the battery, alternator output, and can perform a parasitic drain test to find what’s causing the issue.
