Modern vehicles rely on computer systems to monitor everything from engine performance and transmission operation to safety features and climate controls. When something goes wrong, you might see a warning light, experience shifting problems or notice an issue that comes and goes without explanation. At BMP Auto Service, we help Sacramento drivers get to the bottom of these concerns with professional car computer diagnostics. By scanning your vehicle’s electronic systems and investigating the results, we work to identify the source of the problem, explain what needs attention and help you determine the right next step.
Your vehicle contains multiple electronic control modules that communicate with sensors and components throughout the car. When a fault occurs, the relevant system may store diagnostic trouble codes or display a warning on your dashboard.

The systems that can be scanned depend on your vehicle’s make, model and equipment. Contact BMP Auto Service to discuss the warning lights you are seeing.
BMP Auto Service works on European vehicles as well as domestic and Asian makes. European vehicles may use manufacturer-specific diagnostic codes and electronic systems, so the appropriate scan and testing methods depend on the vehicle. Let us know your car’s year, make and model when scheduling an appointment.
The time varies depending on the vehicle, the number of warning lights and the complexity of the fault. A straightforward issue may be identified relatively quickly, while intermittent problems or faults affecting several systems can require additional testing. We can provide a more accurate estimate after learning about your vehicle’s symptoms.
