Engine Diagnostics & Repair
Check-engine light, misfires, rough idle, overheating — we diagnose the root cause and fix it with scanning and hands-on testing from ASE Master Technicians.
Rated 5.0 from 1,090 verified reviews
Symptoms worth a diagnostic
- A check-engine or warning light
- A code is stored. We read what system it points to before quoting a thing.
- Rough idle or stumbling
- A misfire from ignition, fuel, or air/fuel metering — live data narrows it quickly.
- Hesitation or lost power
- A sensor, fuel-delivery, or timing fault. Testing beats swapping parts on a hunch.
- Hard starting or stalling
- Could be spark, fuel, or a security/sensor fault — a scan isolates which one.
- Fuel economy dropping
- Often an oxygen sensor or air/fuel fault quietly running the engine rich.
- Overheating or new noises
- Usually mechanical. We pair the scan with hands-on tests, not parts-swapping.

When your engine misbehaves, we use modern diagnostic scanners and mechanical expertise to pinpoint the problem. From misfires and rough idle to overheating and loss of power, we read diagnostic codes, test sensors and fuel systems, and perform hands-on inspection. We fix the root cause—not just the symptom—saving you time and money.
A modern engine is managed by dozens of sensors and control modules, and when one reports a fault the symptom rarely names the cause. That’s what a diagnostic is for: instead of trial-and-error repairs, we connect a professional scan tool, read the stored codes, watch live sensor data, and test the actual components — so we fix the real problem the first time.
A code from a parts-store reader names a system, not a cause. A “low catalyst efficiency” or “lean condition” code rarely means you need the expensive part it seems to point at — more often something upstream is running the engine rich or lean — burning the wrong mix of fuel and air — and tripping it. Kevin Christensen’s GM and Toyota factory training shapes the method here: structured testing that rules things out in order, not guessing and swapping parts on your dime.
On the Space Coast, salt air and humidity are hard on connectors, grounds, and sensors, so corrosion is behind more “mystery” faults than people expect — and it’s exactly the kind of thing a careful diagnostic catches. Whatever yours turns out to be, we’ll tell you what’s wrong, what it costs, and what can safely wait before any work begins. That’s the standard from our ASE-certified, family-owned shop, held since 1998.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a diagnostic scan cost?
A quick scan to pull the trouble code is free. A full diagnostic — tracing that code to its actual cause with live data and component testing — runs $75–$150, and we credit it toward the repair if you go ahead. Either way you know exactly what's wrong before we recommend any work, with no guesswork.
My engine light came on. Is it serious?
Not necessarily. An engine light means a fault code was triggered—it can be minor (a loose gas cap) or serious (a failing oxygen sensor). We'll read the code for free and tell you what system it points to. Many issues are fixable and affordable if caught early.
Why is my engine overheating?
Common culprits: low coolant, a failing thermostat, a broken water pump, or a bad radiator fan. We pressure-test the cooling system, check thermostat operation, and inspect the radiator. Overheating is urgent—driving an overheated engine causes severe damage.
Can you handle fuel system and transmission issues?
Yes. We diagnose fuel pump failures, injector clogs, transmission codes, and shifting problems. We use specialized equipment and are trained on domestic and import systems. Complex transmission work may require specialist referral, but we guide you through options.
What's an oxygen sensor and why does it fail?
Oxygen sensors monitor exhaust gases and tell the engine computer how to adjust fuel mixture. They fail after 60,000–100,000 miles due to carbon buildup and heat. A bad O2 sensor hurts fuel economy and can damage the catalytic converter. We replace them promptly.
