If your dashboard lights up with a warning symbol, it’s your car’s way of asking for help. A diagnostic scan is one of the easiest ways to find out what’s happening under the hood — before small issues become expensive repairs. At Advance Auto Service in Kamloops, our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools to identify problems quickly and accurately, saving you time and money.
How a Diagnostic Scan Works
Modern vehicles are equipped with complex computer systems that monitor everything from engine performance to emissions. A diagnostic scan connects to your car’s onboard computer system to check for error codes that indicate potential issues. These codes can reveal problems with the engine, transmission, fuel system, sensors, or electrical components.
Even if your car seems to be running fine, a scan can catch hidden issues early — helping you avoid breakdowns and costly repairs down the road.
Why Annual Scans Are Important
Many drivers wait until the check engine light comes on before getting a diagnostic test. However, an annual scan is part of an annual maintenance visit, and we think it’s a useful, proactive way to keep your car running. All our services are listed here. Regular checks help:
- Detect minor issues before they turn into major repairs
