OBD II LIVE DATA

Real diagnostics, not guesses.

Check engine light, rough idle, no start, weird noise. We pull live data, test sensors, trace wires, and tell you what is actually wrong before any wrench turns.

How does mobile diagnostic work at Dusty's?

Dusty arrives with a professional OBD II scanner, a multimeter, and a smoke machine. We pull live engine data, freeze frames, and pending codes. Then we verify the actual fault with sensor and wiring tests, not just throw the part the code points at. Diagnostic fee is $97 at the shop, $147 mobile, credits to the repair.

What tools does Dusty use to diagnose a check engine light?

Professional bi-directional OBD II scanner with live data and freeze-frame capability, multimeter for circuit and sensor testing, smoke machine for vacuum and EVAP leaks, fuel pressure gauge, and compression tester. Same tools the dealership uses, brought to your driveway.

Why does Dusty not just read the code and throw a part at it?

Because the code points at a system, not always the failed part. A P0420 catalytic efficiency code might be a bad cat, an upstream O2 sensor, a vacuum leak, or even a misfire eating the cat. Dusty tests the actual circuit and sensor with live data before quoting the repair. That is what \"no parts cannon\" means.

How much does a diagnostic cost?

\$97 at the shop, \$147 mobile. The fee covers the scan, the bench tests, the wire and sensor probing, and the written estimate. If you proceed with the repair, the diagnostic fee credits directly to the job. So a clean diagnosis is effectively free when you have us do the work.

Can Dusty just clear the code so my light turns off?

We can clear the code, but the light will come back if the fault is still there. We will not clear codes pre-inspection or pre-sale on a truck unless the underlying issue is fixed first. That is a customer-protection rule, not a money grab.

Need a diagnostics and codes?

Pick up the phone. We will either fix it today or tell you straight when we can.
