DIAGNOSTIC GUARANTEE TERMS

Clear coverage before diagnosis begins.

Our guarantee is designed to create clear expectations, transparent pricing, and accountability for qualifying diagnostic work. Not every vehicle or problem qualifies, and the exact guarantee is defined before covered work begins.

1. Guarantee applies only when specifically offered

A diagnostic guarantee applies only when Precision Auto Diagnosis expressly offers it for the specific vehicle, complaint, and agreed diagnostic scope before work begins. Submission of a request, scheduling an appointment, or payment by itself does not automatically create a guarantee.

2. Coverage is defined before diagnosis

Before covered work begins, we will explain the diagnostic scope, expected charge, what result or deliverable is covered, and any known limitations. Coverage may differ depending on the vehicle, system, symptom, accessibility, available tools, and whether the fault can be reproduced.

Guarantee limit: Any monetary liability under the diagnostic guarantee is limited to the amount actually paid for the specific diagnostic service covered by that guarantee. The guarantee does not create liability for the value of the vehicle, unrelated repairs, consequential losses, lost income, towing, rental vehicles, or a larger repair that was not part of the compensated diagnostic scope.

3. Not every vehicle or problem qualifies

We may decline guarantee coverage where a problem is intermittent or cannot be reproduced, where testing requires substantial disassembly, dealer-only programming, manufacturer security access, specialized shop equipment, road conditions that cannot be safely reproduced, inaccessible components, internal mechanical teardown, or other limitations outside the agreed mobile diagnostic scope.

4. Diagnostic scope may evolve

Automotive diagnosis can reveal new information as testing progresses. If additional testing, disassembly, programming, parts, travel, or other paid work becomes necessary, we will explain the updated scope and cost before proceeding. No additional paid work is performed without customer approval.

5. Payment before additional diagnostic work

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment for the currently approved diagnostic scope is due before additional diagnostic work begins. This is especially applicable to first-time customers and helps maintain clear expectations, a professional working relationship, and a fair process for both the customer and Precision Auto Diagnosis.

If testing reveals that additional diagnostics, disassembly, programming, travel, specialized equipment, or an expanded scope is required, we will explain the additional work and price before proceeding. The customer must approve the revised scope, and any required payment must be received before that additional diagnostic work is performed.

No surprise charges: Additional paid diagnostic work will not be performed without first explaining the updated scope and obtaining the customer's approval. Where payment is required before continuing, that requirement will be communicated before further work begins.

6. Changes to guarantee terms require agreement

If new findings materially change what can reasonably be guaranteed, the updated guarantee or limitation will be explained before additional covered work proceeds. Any revised paid scope must be agreed to by the customer before further charges are incurred.

7. What we do guarantee when coverage applies

  • We will perform the agreed diagnostic testing within the defined scope.
  • We will communicate findings, limitations, and recommended next steps clearly.
  • We will not add diagnostic charges beyond the approved scope without prior approval.
  • Where a specific guaranteed result is offered, that result and its remedy will be described before diagnosis begins.

8. Repair work is separate unless specifically included

A diagnostic guarantee does not automatically guarantee a repair, replacement part, programming service, or future vehicle reliability unless those items are expressly included in the written or agreed scope.

9. Transparency and expectations

Our goal is to eliminate surprise spending and unclear expectations. We will be direct about what we can test, what we cannot confirm, what additional work may be required, what payment is required before continuing, and what the customer is approving at each stage.

These terms summarize Precision Auto Diagnosis's intended diagnostic-guarantee policy. Specific job terms agreed before diagnosis control for that job.
