Fresno Auto Body’s Thorough Diagnostic Scanning
You might need a diagnostic scanning when…It starts with a clunk, a thud, or an unsettling grinding noise. What could it mean for your vehicle? You don’t have to be fluent in the language of cars to know that something is wrong. When you put yourself behind the wheel of a car, you expect to be safe, but if the car has recently been in a collision, there could be working parts that are compromised without you even knowing.
Taking your car to someone trustworthy and qualified enough can be as nerve-wracking as the ominous sounds your car is making. You won’t feel that way when you turn to Superior Auto Body for our diagnostic scanning and collision repair. Around Fresno, we’re known for our attentive customer service, transparency in our methods, and our professional workmanship. Thousands of Fresno customers have trusted us at Superior Auto Body to care for the vehicles, to repair them after a nasty collision, to remove dents, and resolve a windshield crack crisis, and for most of these problems, it all begins with diagnostic scanning.
There’s a reason why our clients return to us with their vehicle repairs and diagnostic needs—it’s because we’re Superior Auto Body, and all of our Fresno body shop services strive to match our name: superior quality, superior customer service, and of course, superior diagnosis.

Fresno Diagnostic Scanning for Safer Cars & Safer Driving
There’s something wrong with your car. It may growl, sputter, or spit, or it may be quiet in its complaint, and for many car owners, the silent problems are the sneakiest. Even a minor collision can cause internal damage in your car, and if it goes unchecked and unnoticed, could be a concern for impeded safety measures and the car’s functional health.
At Superior Auto Body, we see collisions such as these occur all of the time across Fresno—a parent picking their kids up at Roosevelt High School when their car’s front end gets slammed, rear-end collisions that happen when backing out of a crowded parking lot, or the numerous car accidents that occur in busy downtown Fresno. These cars wear their damage in different scars like a scratch on the back bumper, an uprooted fender, a smashed side mirror, or a crushed door panel. Crashed vehicles almost always need to be painted.
To some car owners, if the vehicle is able to make the drive home, then it’s good enough to drive along the streets of Fresno without issue. A small accident with a minor impact, sometimes with no visible signs of damage, could knock something extremely essential loose in your car that’s integral to its overall functions. Not taking your vehicle in for a diagnostic scan at our professional auto body shop can mean you end up paying more as the need for repairs becomes increasingly imperative.
You have a newer car and were involved in a minor accident. The car’s system isn’t reporting any malfunctions, errors, or damage, so everything must be running and operating as it should be, right? Unfortunately, not even the smartest of car computers can truly be relied upon if something is amiss. There could be features that were affected by the impact that your car’s system is unaware of. These features could be safety measures that are crucial to road reliability like blind spot detection, or even your back up alarm. Without certain parts of your car’s system in order, driving can quickly become a hazard—and it can easily be another accident waiting to happen. This is where the capable, qualified hands of Fresno Auto Body step in with a proper diagnostic scan.
Your Car’s Clean Bill of Health with Diagnostic Scanning
There’s a key difference between the diagnostic tools sold at chain auto parts stores and the ones used by technicians in a professional auto body shop setting. The tools we utilize for your car’s diagnostic scanning are of professional grade and this industry-level equipment can decipher and diagnose symptoms of the majority of vehicles and models manufactured with a responsive internal computer system.
What separates our scanning techniques from a standard do-it-yourselfer is our team of trained technicians. Knowing what to look for when employing the use of professional diagnostic scanning equipment is akin to the ability to read a map, navigating and analyzing the obstacles and obstructions. Without this knowledge, there could remain detrimental issues within the internal workings of a vehicle, leaving you right back at square one.
Imagine if the blind spot detection was inhibited from even a small-scale accident and that vehicle was changing lanes, failing to recognize the motorcycle riding in the lane beside it. What could be easily solved with an affordable, thorough diagnostic scanning at Fresno Auto Body could quickly become an unnecessary tragedy.
When a vehicle goes undiagnosed after an accident, anything that follows becomes your responsibility, but when we use our meticulous diagnostic scanning equipment at Superior Auto Body, it is now our job to ensure your vehicle is fully functional and operating perfectly without a bent frame. This is not something our team of talented technicians takes lightly. Once your car has been delivered to you after diagnostics and appropriate repairs, it is a reflection of our Superior name.
Nearly every vehicle manufactured since the mid-1990s can benefit from diagnostic scanning, and because our auto techs at Superior Auto Body have a lifetime of auto body experience under their belts, there isn’t a make or model we can’t analyze or repair. Scans have become as necessary as these updated computer systems integrated into modern cars. Big-name car manufacturers have even stated that these scans are necessary to perform following an accident because it ensures passenger safety.
