Mobile car diagnostics in Stittsville
The codes read and, more to the point, explained: what the car is actually reporting, and what it does and does not prove. We come to you in Stittsville, weeknights from 5pm and all day Saturday and Sunday, so the car is fixed without a day off work.
Why people call
What people describe when they ring about this
You do not have to know what the part is called. These are the words people actually use, and any one of them is enough to book on.
- A check engine light, steady or flashing
- A car that cranks and will not start, or starts only sometimes
- Temperature climbing, or heat that has stopped working
- A noise you can hear and cannot place
- A code somebody read at a parts counter, and a part they wanted to sell you off it
Stittsville, specifically
What we see on this job in Stittsville
Stittsville no-starts cluster in January, and they are mostly batteries, and cheap ones at that. A car that does short commutes to Kanata and sits on a driveway the rest of the week never gets fully charged. The reason it is worth a proper scan and not just a jump start is that the same symptom comes from a failing alternator, and the difference between those two is measurable in about ten minutes.
On the truck
What turns up on your driveway
- A proper scan tool, not a code reader: live data, freeze frames and the manufacturer-specific codes a generic one never sees
- A multimeter and a test light, because half of these end up being a connector or a ground
- The VIN decoded first, so the engine and the trim are known before anything is guessed at
- You get the codes themselves, written down, whatever you decide to do next and whoever you decide to do it with.
How long it takes. Usually an hour, and often less when the code turns out to say what it means.
What we will not do on a driveway. A fault that only appears at highway speed, on a bad road, an hour into a drive, is not going to appear on your driveway. When that is what we are chasing we will tell you what it will take, and not charge for an afternoon of not reproducing it.
Where the car can be
Parking in Stittsville
Stittsville is mostly newer subdivisions with real driveways, which is close to ideal: the car is on level asphalt at the address it lives at, and there is room to work beside it. Main Street and the older village end can be tighter, and where it is we will work from the street and leave the car where it is.
Areas we are in most weeks: Fernbank Crossing, Jackson Trails, Amberwood, Bradley Commons, Stittsville Main.
What it costs
Priced after somebody has looked at it
There is no price on this page on purpose. A diagnostic job depends on the vehicle, the parts it takes and what is found once a wheel is off, and a number written here would either be wrong or be something you have to argue about in a driveway.
You get the cost of the work and the travel together, before anything is booked, and nothing is charged until you have said yes. The travel band for every postal code we serve is on the service-area page.
