ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS FOR YOUR CAR AT DELL’S SERVICE CENTER
Whether you’re heading to the Farmers Market on Broadway or cruising past the Fox River Trail, your car’s performance should be as smooth as your Sunday drive. But when your vehicle starts acting up—or worse, gives you no warning at all—it’s time to dig a little deeper. That’s where diagnostics come in. Modern vehicles are filled with sensors and computer systems that track everything from your engine’s health to your emissions. When something’s off, it’s your car’s way of saying, “Hey, I need a checkup.”
At Dell’s Service Center, we don’t just guess what’s wrong—we use advanced diagnostics tools to get straight to the root of the issue. Whether it’s a sensor fault, electrical glitch, or something mechanical, our experienced technicians are here to find it, explain it, and fix it right.

Diagnostics Services
If your car’s acting strange—maybe it’s stalling, idling rough, or flashing mysterious dashboard lights—it’s time for a diagnostic test. At Dell’s Service Center, we use state-of-the-art scan tools and hands-on experience to figure out exactly what’s going on. From engine and transmission faults to electrical gremlins and sensor issues, we’ll get to the bottom of it and lay out a clear plan to get things running right.
Signs You Might Need Diagnostics
Your car won’t always spell it out, but these signs are clear signals that a diagnostic test is in order:
Check Engine Light Is On
That light that everyone says is annoying when it comes on your dashboard? It’s more than just a suggestion. Whether it’s flashing or steady, it means your vehicle’s computer found something it doesn’t like—and it wants you to know about it.
Strange Sounds or Vibrations
If your car is making new noises—clicks, knocks, rattles—or you’re feeling unusual vibrations, something’s off. A diagnostic check can reveal if it’s something simple or more serious.
Poor Performance or Power Loss
If you seem to not be climbing hills as fast your taking off with as much power, you might have engine trouble, fuel system issues, or even sensor malfunctions.
Decreased Fuel Efficiency
If you’re filling up more often without driving more, it might be a sensor issue or a fuel system problem. A diagnostic test will help identify what’s draining your tank.
Starting Trouble
Is your car slow to start, or not starting at all? Don’t play the guessing game—our diagnostics will pinpoint if it’s the battery, starter, ignition system, or something else.
Electrical Issues
From malfunctioning windows to flickering headlights, electrical problems can be tricky to trace. Diagnostics help us zero in on the exact source so we can fix it fast.
Common FAQs On Diagnostics
What is a vehicle diagnostic test?
A diagnostic test uses a computer scanner to read fault codes from your vehicle’s onboard system. It helps us identify what system or component is acting up and why.
How long does a diagnostic take?
Most basic diagnostics take under an hour. If the issue is more complex, we’ll let you know what we find and how long deeper testing or repair might take.
Can I drive with a check engine light on?
If it’s steady, you can usually drive for a short time—but get it checked ASAP. If it’s flashing, pull over and call us. Flashing means the issue could damage your engine.
How much does a diagnostic test cost?
We offer affordable diagnostic services, and if you move forward with repairs, we’ll often apply the cost of the diagnostic toward the total repair bill.
What’s included in your diagnostic service?
We connect your car to our diagnostic equipment, review the error codes, and inspect related systems. You’ll get a full explanation of what we find and what your options are.
Is a diagnostic test worth it?
Absolutely. It takes the guesswork out of car problems, saves time, and can prevent you from paying for repairs you don’t need. It’s like a health checkup for your vehicle.
Can diagnostics detect transmission problems?
Yes. Many transmission issues will trigger fault codes that show up during a diagnostic scan. Even if you’re not seeing a warning light, performance issues like slipping or hard shifts can often be traced through diagnostic testing.
Will a diagnostic test reset my warning lights?
Not automatically. We’ll only clear codes once the underlying issue has been addressed. Resetting the light without fixing the problem can mask serious issues—so we make sure it’s fixed right before anything gets cleared.
