Modern vehicles rely on complex electronic systems.
At Brumby Motors, we use advanced diagnostic equipment to identify stored fault codes, analyse live vehicle data and locate the actual cause of the problem before recommending repairs.
DIAGNOSIS BEFORE REPAIR
WHAT is a vehicle diagnostic scan?
When your vehicle detects an electrical, mechanical or emissions-related problem, its control modules store fault codes. A diagnostic scan allows our technicians to access these codes and investigate what is causing the warning.
Unlike basic code readers, our equipment communicates with manufacturer-specific systems across the vehicle — including the engine, transmission, ABS, airbags and other control modules.

MORE THAN A BASIC CODE READER
FIND THE CAUSE, NOT JUST THE CODE.
A basic OBD2 scanner may tell you that a fault exists, but it often cannot show the full picture.
Our diagnostic equipment accesses manufacturer-specific systems throughout the vehicle, helping us identify the actual source of the problem instead of replacing parts based on assumptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Car Diagnostics Artarmon
Clear answers about warning lights, fault codes and diagnostic testing.
My check engine light is on — is it serious?
It depends on the fault stored in the vehicle. Some faults require immediate attention while others may be less urgent. A diagnostic scan allows us to identify the code, explain the cause and advise how quickly it should be addressed.
Can I clear the check engine light myself?
The code can sometimes be cleared, but the warning will usually return if the underlying problem remains. Clearing the code can also remove useful diagnostic information, so it is better to have the vehicle scanned first.
How much does a diagnostic scan cost?
Diagnostic pricing depends on how much testing is required. Contact Brumby Motors for current pricing and we can advise based on your vehicle and symptoms.
Do you have diagnostic tools for European cars?
Yes. We use advanced diagnostic equipment compatible with BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Volvo, MINI and other European vehicles.
