When it comes to car maintenance, there are two types of services that people usually opt for: a general car service and a diagnostic service. While they may seem similar, these services are vastly different and are used for specific purposes.

A general car service is essentially a routine maintenance check-up for your car. Our mechanics will give a 65 point vehicle inspection of your vehicle, looking for signs of wear and tear, which includes checking the brakes, suspension and steering. when we do a general service, we will change the oil and oil filter, check the brakes, and top up fluids such as the coolant, brake fluid and transmission oil. If we find any additional requirements needed, such as the replacement of spark plugs, we will let you know prior.

On the other hand, a diagnostic service is designed to detect any issues or faults in your vehicle. This type of service is usually required when your car displays warning signs such as check engine lights or strange noises. The mechanics at Auto Plus SA, located in Munno Para, are experts in diagnosing problems in cars.

A diagnostic service involves using specialised equipment and tools that are not used in a general car service. Our expert mechanics use a scanning tool that can identify issues with various parts of the car. We also perform computerised tests that assess the performance of the car's components. By analysing the data collected, we can diagnose any faults or issues and provide solutions.

We have a great motto here at Auto Plus SA, “Deleting the warning light does not fix them problem.” A general car service will not remove any warning signals and only a proper diagnostic and repair of a vehicle will rid of the dreaded warning light.

At Auto Plus SA, our diagnostic service covers everything from electrical faults, transmission issues, brake problems and more. Our specialised diagnostic service is particularly beneficial to car owners who have older vehicles or complex issues with their cars.

While a general car service is useful for routine and preventative maintenance, a diagnostic service is crucial for detecting faults in your vehicle. Our expert team at our Munno Para workshop offer expert diagnostic services, utilising the latest tools and technology. Trust in our skilled technicians for a thorough diagnosis and top-quality repairs.
