Frequently asked questions
What does a diagnostic include?
A diagnostic reads your car's computer for trouble codes (check engine light), then a mechanic interprets them and inspects the relevant systems. It usually takes 30–60 minutes.
Is a diagnostic fee worth it?
Yes — it prevents unnecessary repairs. A $75 diagnostic could save you $500 in guessing. Many FixLinkr shops credit the fee toward the repair if you book with them.
Can I just clear the check engine light myself?
You can, but the code will likely come back. Clearing codes without fixing the issue means the problem gets worse (and could fail your next NY State inspection).
How long does a check engine light diagnostic take?
30–60 minutes for a basic scan. If the issue requires deeper inspection (wiring, sensors), plan for a few hours.
