TEST. TRACE. UNDERSTAND.A different place to start

- Already been to multiple mechanics?
- Replaced parts without solving the problem?
- Dealing with a fault that comes and goes?
Get an independent assessment so you can make an informed decision about the next repair.

Before you reach out
A few useful answers.
Is this only for carburetor problems?
No. The Carb Doctor focuses on independent vehicle diagnostics, including electrical and wiring issues, warning lights, no-start concerns and intermittent problems.
What if another shop already worked on it?
Include what was replaced, any diagnostic codes and whether the symptoms changed. Previous invoices and test results can help explain the history.
Can every problem be diagnosed in an hour?
Most issues are figured out within the first hour, but that is not a guarantee. Complex or intermittent concerns may require more time. Additional diagnostic work is $75 per hour and requires your approval.
What should I send with my request?
The year, make and model; what the vehicle is doing; when it happens; any warning lights or codes; and repairs already attempted. Mention if the vehicle will not start or cannot be driven.
Where is service available?
Send your location with your request so service availability, appointment arrangements and travel details can be confirmed.
