A quick electronic scan of your vehicle's primary codes with professional equipment, at your home or office. I read what the vehicle is reporting, explain it in plain English, and tell you what it means for your next step. Compatibility varies by year, make and model — verified before I come out.
A basic OBD-II scan reads your vehicle's primary electronic codes with professional equipment and tells you what it means — not just the number.
It's the fastest way to find out whether your warning light is something routine or something that needs a deeper look. If the vehicle calls for more than a basic scan, I'll tell you before you pay for more.
What this addresses
- Check-engine light on and you want the code read properly
- A parts-store scan you want explained in plain English
- You want to know whether the fault is serious before you act
- You're selling or buying a car and want a first electronic look
Compatibility
Every vehicle with an OBD-II port can be scanned, but the codes and the data available vary by year, make and model. A scan identifies electronic faults — it doesn't guarantee that a mechanical repair will resolve them.
How mobile service works
- 1Tell me your year, make, model, engine — and what your car is doing (or what feature you want changed).
- 2I verify your vehicle and confirm the service is supported before you spend anything — compatibility varies by year, make and model.
- 3I confirm the price with you before I head out. Prices are starting prices; a travel fee applies beyond 10 miles.
- 4I come to you — your home, your office, your driveway. No waiting room, no dealership lane.
- 5I work with professional equipment, explain what I find in plain English, and deliver — a diagnostic report, a reset, a feature unlocked.
Common questions
Is this the same as the free scan at a parts store?
It's a professional scan read by someone who works with these systems — with the codes explained, the context behind them, and an honest read on whether you need a deeper diagnostic. That reading is what you're paying for.
Will you clear my codes?
Clearing a light without fixing the cause usually just brings it back. If a reset is genuinely appropriate — for example after a completed repair — that's part of the job.
What if you find more than a basic scan can cover?
Then I'll tell you and recommend the Full-System Diagnostic instead, which reads every accessible module and comes with a digital report.
