Some Las Vegas and Henderson vehicle owners wonder why Asian Imports Auto and other Las Vegas and Henderson auto repair shops charge a fee for vehicle diagnostics. Receiving a diagnostic charge at Asian Imports Auto for a tricky automotive problem shouldn't be a surprise. In the Las Vegas and Henderson area, automotive diagnostics can cover quite a range.

You've probably had your Check Engine Light go on.  Then it goes off and you figure, hey, whatever the problem was, it's gone now and I don't have to worry about it.  Well, the problem may have gone away and it may not have. Your vehicle likely has one of these warning lights on the instrument panel: an amber light that looks like an engine or reads "Check Engine" or "Service Vehicle Soon."  If that light comes on and stays on, it usually means there's something amiss but not urgently in need of service.  (Now if it's blinking, that's another story that we'll deal with in a minute.) Sometimes when it comes on and stays steadily lit, the problem will go away and the light will go out.  Sometimes it will stay on until you get the problem fixed.  Either way, the engine's computer will store a code that can provide clues to what's not working—or wasn't working—the way it's supposed to. If you are just dying to know what that code is, you can buy a ... read more
