Also called: OBD scan, scanning, computer check, fault codes. The scan reads what the vehicle's computers already know about themselves — the skill is in reading it right, and in saying it in words a person can act on.

When you need this

A scan earns its fee when: the engine check light is on and you want the actual reason, not a guess; warnings appear and vanish; a fault comes only sometimes and leaves no other trace; or you are about to buy a used vehicle and want its computers questioned before your money moves.

There are two kinds of scan in this district. The bazaar kind reads the generic engine port, prints a code, and leaves you exactly as informed as before. Ours is full-system: engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, immobiliser, body electronics — every module that will talk, on every make we see, through LAUNCH X431 and Autel equipment that speaks each manufacturer's own dialect.

What you pay for is not the cable — it is the reading. A stored code is a clue, not a verdict: the same code can mean a dying sensor, a chafed wire, or a genuine mechanical fault. We read the codes against live data, against the vehicle's history, and against what this belt does to vehicles, then tell you in plain language what is wrong, what it costs to fix, and what can safely wait.

The scan is a paid diagnostic, and honestly priced as one — because a diagnosis that earns nothing has a way of becoming a sales pitch. What the scan finds is yours: explained, written on the bill, and quoted before any repair is agreed. Fix it here, fix it elsewhere, or sleep on it — the information is what you bought.

What it costs

Full-system diagnostic scan and fault reading ₹300 – ₹800

One fee, all systems, findings explained and quoted in plain words. If the fix is done here, the scan has already paid for its keep by pointing at the right repair the first time.

Diagnostic scan — what you should know

The pre-purchase check that pays for itself

Before you buy a used car or pickup, its computers will tell us things the seller may not: stored crash and airbag events, persistent faults someone has been erasing, systems that stopped reporting. Twenty minutes of scanning against a vehicle-sized purchase is the cheapest insurance in this trade.

A cleared code is not a cured fault

Anyone with a cheap tool can make a warning lamp go dark for a week. The fault stays, the evidence resets, and the eventual diagnosis gets harder. If a seller or a workshop offers to "clear it for now", understand what is actually being cleared: your information.

Intermittent faults leave footprints

The maddening problem that never performs in front of a mechanic usually performs in the data — freeze-frames, counters, live values that twitch when the fault breathes. That is how a scan catches what a road test cannot.

The scan points; the benches fix

Scanning is the map, not the journey. Whatever it finds has a bench here waiting for it.

Computer-side findings go to ECU board-level repair →; wiring-side findings go to rewiring and harness repair →.

Scan now, or watch and wait?

Steady engine light, vehicle driving normally — scan soon, drive gently meanwhile.

Flashing engine light, new noises, or warnings arriving in groups — scan now, and stop working the engine hard on the way.

What the lamp itself means, symptom-first, lives at engine check light →.

An airbag lamp is its own subject with its own rules: airbag warning light →.

Diagnostic scan — vehicles we do this for

Diagnostic scan — common questions

What does the scan cost, and is it deducted from the repair?

₹300 – ₹800 for the full-system scan with the findings explained. When the repair is done here, the diagnosis fee is treated fairly against the job — ask at the counter, before work, and it goes on the bill in writing.

My check light went off by itself. Still worth scanning?

Yes — the code stays stored after the lamp gives up. Faults that come and go are exactly the ones worth reading while the evidence is fresh.

Can you scan lorries, buses and autos?

Everything with electronics that will talk — commercial vehicles included. Older and simpler vehicles have less to say, and we tell you honestly when a scan will not earn its fee on your vehicle.

Will you just erase the code if I ask?

After a repair, clearing codes is part of finishing the job. Erasing a live fault to hide a lamp — for a sale, for an inspection — is not work we do.

Do I get the findings in writing?

Yes — what was found, what it means, and the quote for putting it right, in plain words on the bill. The information is yours wherever you choose to repair.
