Vehicle Diagnostic Services
Yesterday, a warning light started blinking on your dashboard, and today it’s steadily remaining lit while driving. Maybe the vehicle has started driving strangely, whether the steering doesn’t seem to be working as well or if the engine isn’t generating the same output as it should be. When something indicates the car is having trouble underneath the hood, it’s important to promptly attend to it to minimize damage and downtime. Contact us today on +255784914614 OR diagnostics@gordhangarage.co.tz for our car diagnostic services to get you back on the road in no time! We do not perform emissions testing, however we do perform emissions repairs.

A warning light can appear for a number of reasons, such as tightening the gas cap too much, or the braking system working less efficiently than it should be. While the vehicle may appear to be fine despite of the dashboard lights, ignoring the problem could lead to serious damage or failure, which is a major safety hazard. Hence, it’s critically important to bring your vehicle to the certified professionals immediately for diagnosis.

What causes the check Engine light to appear?
Just about every vehicle has a complicated system underneath the hood. There are on-board computers that always check on the status of the car’s performance. When the warning light appears, the computer has detected something unusual when monitoring a component. It fires off a command to the light to turn on so you’ll know something is not right.

When Should You Seek Diagnostics For Your Car?
The most common car operating issues that will require further testing and a diagnosis of the vehicle include:
– Emissions failure
– Steering control
– Engine performance
– Illuminated dashboard warning lights.
– Fuel system
– Emissions system
– Ignition system
– Engine vacuum and backpressure
– Engine timing

If any of these basic systems fail, the Check Engine light appears, falsely blaming a component as the cause. We conduct a complete verification to avoid unnecessary parts replacement to save you money.
We offer the following vehicle repair and diagnostic services for most major makes of vehicle models:
• Air Conditioning Service and Repairs – Air conditioning systems are complex, and the system can fail in many ways. If your system is not working properly, we begin by diagnosing the problem and checking several systems. Once we’ve reviewed the problem with you, the repair process can begin.
• Battery Services – We offer a full line-up of automotive battery services including predictive auto battery testing, auto battery maintenance and cleaning, and battery replacement.
• Brake Service and Repair – Proper maintenance of your brakes is paramount to auto safety. We do a thorough job of inspecting and repairing your brakes.
• Check Engine Light Diagnosis – Importantly, if the check engine light is flashing you should stop as soon as it is safe to do so, and have your car towed in.
• Clutch Services – Testing is the first step in figuring out what’s going on if you are experiencing a problem with the clutch. We offer this testing service as part of the initial assessment of the problems you may be experiencing with you clutch.
• Electrical System Services – From electric windows to the instrument display panel to the battery, everything that needs or supplies electrical power is part of the electrical system. The more precise you are in describing the problem, the easier the problem is to diagnose.
• Emission & Exhaust System Services
• Engine Repairs and Replacement – Major engine repairs or replacements are very rare for vehicles that have a regular history of preventive maintenance; however, we do perform cylinder head repairs and engine replacements.
• Fuel Injection Services – It is rare that the fuel injection system needs to be serviced. Today’s fuels keep injectors clean. In case a problem does arise, we do have to diagnose the fuel injection system to find out what needs to be repaired. Injectors can fail due to leaking or to an electrical issue. Fuel pumps and regulators can also be a problem. Some predictive services can include a fuel pump pressure check and an amperage check.
• Radiator Services & Engine Cooling System Services – We service and repair all items related to the engine cooling system. This not only includes the radiator but also the water pump; electric fan sensors and wiring; hoses; heater core; intake manifold and gaskets; thermostat and housings; belts and idlers. Steering and Suspension – Some of the common steering and suspension repairs we perform include: 1) Front and rear struts – these are suspension units that include the shock absorbing unit and spring, 2) Shock absorbers, 3) Control arms and links, 4) Ball joints, 5) Tie rods, 6) Steering rack, lines and pump, 7) Steering box, and 8) Bearings and seals.
• Timing Belt – While some vehicles have timing chains that don’t need to be replaced as part of maintenance, a good percentage of vehicles have timing belts. They should be replaced as part of a regular preventive maintenance schedule. The time and the miles at which this is done vary from make to make and engine to engine. Some common repairs that go along with the timing belt replacement include the water pump, camshaft and crankshaft seals, idlers, tensioners, and variable timing systems.
• Tire Repairs – Proper tire care is an essential part of any vehicle preventive maintenance program and in fact, it’s one of the most overlooked vehicle services
• Transmission Service We service both automatic and manual transmissions.
• Wheel Balancing & 4-Wheel Alignment – The most common time we will balance your wheels is after a rotation, while signs of a wheel alignment problem are checked for each time you come in for a preventive maintenance service.
