Comprehensive car diagnostics in Chisinau

We establish the cause of a fault instead of just reading codes. Computer diagnostics with PIWIS, ODIS and VCDS/Ross-Tech are complemented by measurements and checks of mechanical systems; checks are chosen by symptoms.

What diagnostics include

  • Full scan of engine, transmission, ABS, airbag, climate and other control units
  • Reading current and stored fault codes
  • Live sensor and actuator data analysis
  • Active tests, adaptations and coding where required
  • A clear explanation and repair recommendations

Computer and instrument checks

Computer
Fault codes, live data, active tests, adaptations. It shows what the control units see; on its own it does not name the faulty part.
Borescope
A camera look into the cylinders without dismantling the engine. It shows surface condition but does not replace measurements.
Smoke test
Finding leaks in the intake and vacuum lines. Suited to air leaks; it does not show mechanical wear.
Compression
Comparing pressure between cylinders: rings, valves, head gasket. The result is read together with other data.
Oil pressure
Checking pressure in the lubrication system helps separate pump or wear problems from a faulty sensor.
Cooling and timing
A chemical coolant test for combustion gases when a head-gasket leak is suspected, plus inspection of the timing and cooling system: water pump, thermostat, hoses and timing drive.

How the work goes

1 · Complaint
You describe the symptoms and when they appear. The model, year and engine help us prepare.
2 · First checks
We read fault codes and control-unit data and inspect the car.
3 · Agreement
If additional checks are needed, we tell you their scope and cost before starting.
4 · Results
We explain what was found and which check confirmed it.
5 · Proposal
We propose repair work and recommendations; the decision is yours.

  • An explanation of the faults found and how they were confirmed
  • Recommendations for the next steps
  • No single test guarantees that every fault will be found
  • Additional checks are not included automatically in every visit; scope and cost are agreed in advance

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own parts and pay only for labour?

No. When both the parts and labour are supplied by us, we take full responsibility for the result and provide a warranty. With customer-supplied parts, responsibility cannot be separated: it may be unclear whether the part or the installation caused a problem. We therefore work only with parts supplied by us and remain responsible for the complete result.

Can I come without an appointment?

Almost always, no. We work by appointment so that we can plan technician time and respect our customers’ time. At busy periods the next appointment may be a week or more away. Please call in advance: +373 79 93-11-88.

What parts do you install: cheap, expensive or genuine?

We mainly use parts from manufacturers that also supply original equipment: suspension — Lemförder, Febi; brakes — TRW, ATE, Textar; bulbs — OSRAM, Philips. In some cases we deliberately avoid a problematic genuine part: EA288 glow plugs are BERU only, and the EA111 high-pressure fuel pump is Hitachi. We choose the solution that should not fail; avoiding a warranty return matters to us.
