Our Process
A full functioning scan tool is used to perform an onboard computer system analysis in order to retrieve the following:
- Computer codes
- Freeze frame data
- Computer software version numbers
- Critical sensor data and status information
Renovations on the hay barn continued with electricity and new metal siding installed. A Fall Market was held again in September with great success. The number of vendors doubled, and attendance tripled from the year before. A wedding reception was held at the farm in October.
2. Verification Testing
All manufacturers require that circuit or component pinpoint testing is done in order to make an absolute diagnostic determination. These actions involve:
- Working through wiring diagrams
- Performing electrical and/or mechanical tests
- Performing bi-directional control tests
- Visual inspections of suspect areas
Technical Service Bulletins and hotline information will indicate if the problem has been determined to be a pattern failure, meaning that it is a known issue that occurs with a particular type of vehicle. This does not eliminate the need for testing, as other systems must meet specifications before a service bulletin procedure should be performed.
4. Research Technical Service Bulletins
This may involve multiple actions such as:
- Parts replacement
- Cleaning of passages, connections and/or components
- Performing manufacturer technical service bulletin updates
- Updating of vehicle’s computer software
- Wiring repair or replacement
Once all necessary actions have been taken, the vehicle must be retested to verify that the repair is complete and has achieved the proper results.

Parts stores capabilities are limited to only reading the stored trouble codes, but they do not then perform the diagnostic procedures to determine what is exactly required to fix your vehicle. Dave’s Auto Center has certified technicians, whose job it is to fix cars!
Typical driveability issues that require a diagnosis on your vehicle are:
- Any warning lights on the dash that are illuminated (Check Engine Light, ABS, etc.)
- Emissions failures
- Engine or transmission performance
- Steering and ride control
