Auto Diagnostic FAQs
How do vehicle diagnostic systems work?
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a sophisticated computer that collects vital information from a network of sensors, monitoring engine performance, emissions, and other key functions. It not only regulates various car systems but also acts as a diagnostic tool, alerting you to potential problems before they become major issues.
How long does a car diagnostic last?
While a basic diagnostic test typically wraps up in 1-1.5 hours, complex issues demanding further examination and component access/testing can extend the process to 2-3 hours. The length ultimately depends on the severity of the problem and the potential presence of multiple underlying culprits.
What is included in a car diagnostic test?
Diagnostic tests are like X-rays for your vehicle, utilizing specialized equipment to scan its complex systems and components like the engine, transmission, and throttle. From minor oil tank issues to intricate electrical glitches, these tests diagnose a wide range of potential problems. However, interpreting the data they generate requires trained professionals, making dealer shops and skilled mechanics your best bet for accurate diagnoses.

What our clients are saying about us
We have established longterm and stable partnerships with various clients thanks to our excellence in solving their automotive needs!
I’ve been taking my car here for the last couple of years, and I can’t sing the praises of David and the team at Alameda Auto Care highly enough. As a somewhat new driver, I had previously fallen into the bs hamster wheel at the dealership’s mechanic. Told a handful of things that would need to be fixed with my car that didn’t apply (eg changing power steering fluid on an electric steering system), and I’m so glad to have found honest and reasonable mechanics at Alameda Auto. David has given me clear info about several things I didn’t know about my car, and has always been gracious (having a good laugh together when I accidentally ordered 4 sets of 4 hubcaps when my car doesn’t use hubcaps. Ha!) They’re good people, and they work fast. Loyal customer for life over here!
Best customer service and auto care! They have done all my yearly maintenance and the work was impeccable. They even checked my car before a cross country road trip and didn't charge me!! HIGHLY recommend!
