Our first step is to perform a full inspection of the vehicle. Next we check the level and texture of the engine oil for any signs of coolant and engine oil mixing then we check the level and condition of the coolant in the reservoir finally we scan the vehicle for any and all current/historic DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes). Before proceeding to testing we then cross reference brand specific technical service bulletins, review your vehicle's service history and pull live data when applicable. All of our repairs plans are based on data not speculation and so our next step is to perform testing, listed below are tests we commonly perform for engine concerns.
