Vehicle Diagnostics, The Art of Distinguishing.

...because BossLady gets asked a lot, "What is Diagnostics?" 

The word ‘diagnostic’ originates from a Greek word that refers to the capacity or art of distinguishing. In the common sense of understanding, it refers to identifying the nature or cause of something, usually an illness, disorder, or problem. When we talk about vehicle diagnostics, the use of the term is still applicable.

In the past, working on a vehicle was not as computerized as it is nowadays. Mechanics and vehicle owners, who had the knowledge, could diagnose problems and work on these problems with only some basic tools to their disposal. This changed drastically. Due to an immense amount of electronic components, and a sophisticated computer that regulates most of the functions in the vehicle, diagnosing problems and fixing it require a decent amount of knowledge about electronics. 
Because of this high-tech state, we are not always able to detect the exact cause and location of a problem. This is where the diagnostic tool steps in to save the day!

Today’s diagnostics tools are able to check every aspect of a vehicle, such as the engine control unit (ECU), performance, emissions, oil levels, temperature systems, etc. These diagnostic tools makes the task of diagnosis so much easier. When we refer to tools, in its plural form, we imply that there are more than one. So for more information, kindly contact 076 615 4285
