Modern vehicles don’t “just act up” for no reason. A check engine light, weird warning message, or electrical glitch can have multiple causes, and guessing usually leads to wasted money.
At Sager & Sons Auto in Boise, we start with real testing, not parts swapping. Our goal is simple: find the root cause, explain it clearly, and help you make the right call for your vehicle.
One symptom can have multiple causes. Replacing parts without testing often leads to repeat repairs, unnecessary expense, and frustration.
Diagnostics aren’t an “extra.” They’re the foundation of doing the job right.
You’ll never be pressured into repairs. Our job is to give you accurate information so you can decide what’s best for your vehicle.
How much does diagnostic testing cost?
It depends on the concern and how much testing is needed. We’ll explain the diagnostic fee up front and what it covers before we move forward.
Can you tell what’s wrong just from a code scan?
A code scan points us in a direction, but it doesn’t confirm the cause. Proper diagnostics includes testing so we don’t replace parts that aren’t actually bad.
How long does diagnostics usually take?
Some issues can be diagnosed quickly, while intermittent problems can take longer. We’ll keep you updated and never just “guess” to move things along.
Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. If the light is flashing or the vehicle is running rough, it’s best to stop driving and call us.
Do you do digital inspections during diagnostics?
Yes. We document what we find with photos and notes so you can make a confident decision.
