Car Diagnostics We Offer

No matter what mysterious issue your vehicle is experiencing, DMC Automotive Repair can track it down and solve the problem. We work on all of the following issues.


Check Engine Light Check: The check engine light could mean anything from a loose gas cap to something serious. We use pro-grade scanners to pull error codes then dig into what’s causing them. Then we discuss your repair options.


AC Diagnostic: Our AC diagnostic service finds cooling problems fast. Whether it’s a refrigerant issue or a major component of your AC, we’ll find the problem. Once we know what’s wrong, we’ll let you know what you really need to get your AC blowing cold again.


Electrical Diagnostic: Modern cars are full of electrical systems, and they can be tricky. Our techs know how to hunt down even weird electrical problems. We use digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and factory tools to trace electrical faults.


Engine Diagnostic: We use specialized tools to watch your engine’s performance in real time. This helps us catch problems that come and go. We look past the obvious symptoms to find the real cause. Weird noises, bad gas mileage, rough idle, or a loss of power—we can figure out why.


Computer & Updates:
We offer the latest software and programming services to keep your car’s tech up to date. If your car’s computers aren’t talking to each other, we can diagnose and fix those communication issues too.


Exhaust & Emissions: We want to get your car to pass emissions without making you pay for unnecessary repairs. We’ll only recommend what’s really needed. We work on catalytic converters, sensors, and the entire exhaust system.


OBD-II (On-Board Diagnostics)


Every car built since 1996 has OBD-II, monitoring performance and emissions. We use advanced scanners to pull this data. We can access manufacturer-specific data that basic scanners can’t. That gives us a better look at your car’s systems.


Vehicle Performance: Is your car just not running like it used to? Our performance diagnostics can figure out why you’ve lost power, efficiency, or smoothness. We also look for carbon buildup, timing chain stretch, and other mechanical issues that sneak up over time and sap your car’s performance.

How Long Does a Car Diagnostic Take?


A basic car diagnostic at DMC Automotive Repair takes about 30-60 minutes. The time depends on your car’s make, model, and how complicated the issue is.


When Do I Need a Car Diagnostic?


  • Warning lights glowing on your dashboard
  • Weird engine noises
  • Worse fuel efficiency than usual
  • Trouble getting the car started
  • Strange smells
  • Stalling or rough idling


Even if nothing obvious is happening, it's smart to get regular diagnostic checks as part of your routine car care. Little problems can hide out and turn into wallet-busting repairs if you ignore them.



Most newer cars have pretty advanced computer systems watching everything from engine health to tire pressure. Our shop uses diagnostic equipment that taps into these systems and finds issues fast.

What People Say About Us

Reviews Stars Rating | DMC Automotive Repair

"David Landeros & Team @ DMC Auto Ventura, likely saved my life by their efficient diagnostics & repairs of my 24 year old F-150. The assessment of the truck was transparent, with specific explanations & photos sent to me via my phone & email, before I approved repairs. The money was well spent. David was honest & very considerate of my cost concerns. Thank you for making this a joy instead of a freak out!"
