Why Diagnostics Testing, I already know what’s wrong?

No matter the issue you're experiencing with your vehicle, at Quality Automotive Servicing in Truckee, CA, we always start by verifying the issue and the cause with our own diagnostic testing. Past experiences have proven that doing our own diagnostics is definitely a benefit to you. Recently we had a customer come in and said a parts store had scanned his car and he needed his alternator replaced. After deliberation he did agree to let us do our own diagnostic testing. Come to find out he only needed a fuse! Our test saved him hundreds of dollars compared to what he would have spent if we just replaced his alternator per his request. Whether it be a code scan from a parts store or a diagnostic report from another shop, we can only speak for our own technicians’ knowledge and experience. Having our own technicians inspect your vehicle will ensure we are moving forward with the correct repair and ensure you are not paying for something you don't need

That is why we created the ServicePlus Oil Service.  We know importance of a vehicle inspection at every service, no matter how new or old the vehicle is. Your safety, and the safety of your passengers, is as important to us as i ... read more
