Smarter & Safer Rides: The Importance of Computer Diagnostics

Today’s vehicles are built with dozens of sensors and onboard systems that talk to each other constantly. When something malfunctions, whether it’s your fuel system, transmission, ABS, or emissions, the computer stores error codes that tell us exactly where to look.

Computer diagnostics allow our technicians to:

• Identify issues early, before they become big (and expensive) problems
• Save you time and money on unnecessary repairs
• Reset system alerts after service
• Keep your vehicle running safer, longer, and more efficiently

At Nelson’s, we pair high-end scanning equipment with decades of real-world auto care experience. That means we can interpret the codes accurately, confirm the issue, and give you straight-up answers about what your vehicle needs!

Why Get a Computer Diagnostic Test at Nelson’s Automotive?

We don’t just “pull codes” — we solve problems. At many auto care shops, a quick scan is followed by a laundry list of vague or unnecessary repairs. Not here. At Nelson’s, we take the time to combine digital results with hands-on inspection.

We test, verify, and explain the issue to you in plain English, so you’re never stuck playing mechanic roulette. We’re honest, transparent, and laser-focused on what’s best for your car. No scare tactics. No upsells. Just quality service from people who care about your vehicle as much as you do!

Computer Diagnostic Checks Tailored to Your Vehicle

Every make and model is different, and so is every diagnostic approach we take. Whether you drive a domestic truck, a European sedan, or an Asian import, we tailor our testing to your car’s specific systems.

Using industry-grade tools and brand-specific software, we can:

• Retrieve trouble codes from the engine, transmission, ABS, and airbag systems
• Check live sensor data to confirm operation
• Identify intermittent faults
• Perform system resets and reprogramming when needed

If you’re dealing with a mystery issue, trust the team at Nelson’s to get you answers the right way, the first time!
