Know What’s Going On Under the Hood
When your check engine light comes on, it’s easy to ignore — or worry. At ADA’s Auto Repair, we take the mystery out of what’s happening with your vehicle. With over 18 years of experience and advanced diagnostic tools, we provide accurate, honest engine diagnostics in Evansville, IN, so you can make informed decisions about your car’s care.
Our goal is simple: find the issue fast, explain it clearly, and fix only what’s necessary. No pressure. No upselling. Just real answers from a team you can trust.
Why Engine Diagnostics Matter
Modern vehicles are controlled by complex computer systems with dozens of sensors monitoring everything from engine temperature to emissions. When something goes wrong, your car’s onboard computer triggers a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) — but that code only points to the symptom, not the root cause.
That’s where professional engine diagnostics come in.
At ADA’s Auto Repair, we go beyond the code reader. We use OEM-grade scan tools, real-time data analysis, and years of hands-on knowledge to understand what’s really causing the issue. Whether it’s a faulty sensor, misfiring cylinder, or an emissions control problem, we track it down quickly and accurately.
Common Warning Signs You Need Diagnostics
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to bring your vehicle in for a diagnostic evaluation:
Check Engine Light is on or flashing
Rough idling or stalling
Engine knocking or pinging sounds
Decreased fuel economy
Difficulty starting or inconsistent performance
Failed emissions test
Warning lights for transmission, oil pressure, or temperature
Delaying a diagnostic could turn a small problem into a major (and costly) repair. Our diagnostics help you stay ahead of breakdowns and make smart, budget-conscious choices.
