Questions about diagnostics
How much is a car diagnostic at AM AutoHaus?
R450. If you go ahead with the repair, the R450 is credited to your repair.
Is a code reader scan enough?
A fault code points to a system, not always to the broken part. We confirm the cause with testing before we quote, so you only pay for the parts you actually need.
Will I see what is wrong?
Yes. Every fault is filmed and sent to your WhatsApp with a written quote.
