Vehicle Diagnostics in Rochester, MN

Not sure what’s wrong with your car? We’ll find out.

When your vehicle isn’t running right—or when the check engine light or another warning light comes on—guessing isn’t an option. At Joe's Auto and Tire, we offer professional diagnostic services in Rochester, MN using advanced equipment, ASE-certified knowledge, and a proven process to accurately pinpoint vehicle issues.

Free Code Scan – Know Where to Start

If your check engine light is on, we’ll begin with a free code scan, which includes:

  • Retrieving the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)
  • Giving you the name or title of the code
  • Providing a brief explanation of what system is affected

This scan is not a full diagnosis, but it gives you a quick and helpful overview.

Full Diagnostics – Paid, Thorough, and Worth It

To get to the root of the problem, our ASE-certified technicians may need to:

  • Perform pinpoint testing using manufacturer diagnostic procedures
  • Inspect sensors, wiring, and electrical connectors
  • Monitor live data streams from your vehicle’s computer
  • Conduct functional system tests to verify issues
  • Follow OEM-specific diagnostic flowcharts for accuracy

This detailed process ensures we don’t just guess at repairs—we fix the cause, not the symptom.
