Complete Analysis and Computer Diagnostics Willoughby Hills

Back in 1970, can you believe the average car only had about $25 worth of electronics onboard? By 1996, that number had reached $3,500, and today that number tops $6,000. And you can bet as cars become more technologically advanced, that number will continue to rise.

The computers in your car control nearly every electronic system these days, and replacing a faulty one can cost anywhere between $50 to $2,500.

Not every shop out there will use proper computer diagnostics to pinpoint the problems with your onboard computers.
