Diagnostics & Inspections Perth
About Our Diagnostics & Inspections
Today’s vehicles are smarter than ever, with sensors, computers, and electronic systems running the show. When something goes wrong, a guess or a quick check won’t cut it. You need real diagnostics backed by hands-on expertise.
At Oceans, we combine scan tool data with real-world mechanical testing to find the root of the problem. And if you’re buying a second-hand car, we provide pre-purchase inspections that go beyond surface checks, so you can invest with confidence (or walk away informed).
Whether it’s a persistent warning light or a quick once-over before buying, we’ll help you make the right call.
The Process
Diagnostics and inspections are all about clarity — identifying what’s really going on with your vehicle and giving you the answers you need. Here’s how we approach every diagnostic job at Oceans Automotive:
Initial Conversation & Symptom Check
We’ll ask what you’ve noticed — warning lights, dodgy starts, odd noises or just a gut feeling — and use that info to guide our testing.
Visual Inspection & Wear Check
From hoses and belts to mounts and leaks, we visually inspect key areas for signs of stress, damage or hidden wear.
Full Vehicle Scan
We plug in and scan your vehicle’s ECU using pro-grade tools — checking for error codes, system faults and sensor data most drivers can’t see.
Hands-On Mechanical Testing
Because not every fault shows up digitally, we test brakes, suspension, cooling, charging systems and more the old-fashioned way — hands-on and thorough.
Diagnosis Summary & Advice
Once testing is complete, we explain everything clearly: what’s working, what’s not, what’s urgent, and what you can keep an eye on.
Clear Report & Next Steps
You’ll receive a straightforward report with any fault codes, recommendations for repairs, and advice on what to do next — especially handy if you’re inspecting before a purchase.
4x4 Towing Transfers Available
Car won’t start? Warning light flashing and no power? We offer Perth-wide towing transfers, so you can still access professional diagnostics and inspection services even if your vehicle isn’t mobile.
