Car diagnostics – 3 most important types of diagnostics

Car diagnostics is a broad term that includes various tests to determine the technical condition of a car. High-quality diagnostics help to detect and eliminate problems in a timely manner, extending the life of your car and improving safety. Let's look at the three most popular types of car diagnostics and their importance.

1. General or preventive car diagnostics

This is a comprehensive car inspection that we recommend performing regularly – at least once a year or every 10,000–15,000 km. Even if the car is running without any visible problems, some problems can develop imperceptibly and cause serious damage over time. General diagnostics check the main car systems – engine, chassis, brakes, electronics, fluids and other important components. Such an inspection helps to identify worn parts or potential defects in time, which could cause unpleasant surprises on the road.

2. Targeted or problem diagnostics

This type of diagnostics is performed if the driver notices specific changes in the car’s operation – unusual sounds, vibrations, warning lights on or other malfunctions. In this case, the diagnostics are focused on the specific problem: for example, only checking the engine, chassis, electronics or brake system. The client describes the observed symptoms, and the specialist, using both visual and computer diagnostics, accurately determines the location and cause of the damage.

3. Advanced or complex diagnostics with a test drive

This type of diagnostics combines technical inspections with a practical car test. If after the initial inspection the problem is not completely clear or there may be several possible causes, the service specialist goes on a test drive with the driver. During the drive, the car’s characteristics are assessed in real conditions – by carefully listening, feeling and analyzing the car’s behavior. Then, an in-depth technical investigation is carried out to identify both the damaged part and the true source of the problem. This approach ensures that the damage is eliminated completely, not just temporarily.

Regardless of whether you perform preventive, targeted or in-depth diagnostics, regular car inspections are a guarantee of your safety and the longevity of your car. Entrust your vehicle to professionals – experienced craftsmen will help you notice and eliminate any problems in time.
