Engine Diagnostic Testing
The Check Engine light on your vehicle’s dash is designed to do more than aggrivate and frustrate you. That is your first indicator telling you something is awry with your motor, your transmission, or both.
That dashboard indicator dutifully lights up when the complex electronics and monitoring network within your vehicle senses an issue. It is telling you to get it to a qualified auto service facility soon, before that issue evolves into an even larger problem.
Sure, there are devices available today which people can purchase online, plug into their vehicle, and receive some sort of data or feedback to the reason the light came on your dash. In fact, most common mechanics today will be able to tell you the reason behind that pesky trouble code on their diagnostic interface.
What sets apart the common mechanic with the Service Technicians at Joy Automotive Service & Repair is beyond the ability to plug a device into your ailing vehicle. Our Technicians each invest in the latest electronic devices and tools allowing for constant and continual updates from the factories. They go beyond that, even, because our equipment has the ability to directly connect and communicate with vehicle manufacturer headquarters where teams of staff are constantly reviewing and troubleshooting vehicle issues around the globe in real time.
In fact, as an example, Volkswagen and Audi owners will be relieved to know that we invest and train directly with their factories so we can accurately and positively diagnose those vehicles. They are only two of many other vehicle builders that we can communicate with directly.
We take this information steps further at Joy Automotive, because we take that information, research the parts and time required to properly service the issues, and discuss findings with your Service Writer. This teamwork provides you with a prognosis and remedy for your vehicle, and most times our Writers will investigate whether viable options may be available to you.
The team at Joy Automotive take great pride in their knowledge and skills available to you. Our ability in providing our clients with the highest levels of service goes beyond keywords and marketing claims… we invest in ourselves, our tools, and the manufacturers we confidently represent as we have for over 30 years serving Santa Monica and the Westside of Los Angeles.
Stop by our facility and see for yourself the quality difference that Joy makes!
