From request to back-on-the-road
- 01
Describe what you're hearing or feeling
The more specific the better. When does the noise happen? Cold / warm? Going / stopping? We send the right Ally for the symptom.
- 02
Ally arrives, road tests, and inspects
Real driving recreates the symptom; OBD scan rules out the obvious; physical inspection finds the rest. Most diagnostic visits are 60–90 minutes.

Common diagnostic situations in Quebec City
Mystery noise that comes and goes
Hard to fix what a shop can't reproduce. Road testing with you removes that gap — the Ally hears it the same way you do.
Second opinion before a big repair quote
Got a $2000 quote and unsure? An independent diagnostic visit confirms whether it's needed, partially needed, or sales-driven.
Recurring check-engine after a 'repair'
Light came back on after a recent shop visit. We figure out whether the repair didn't fix the root cause, or a new issue popped up.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the emergency OBD scan?
Different. The emergency diagnostic is roadside — on-demand, fast, just a code read and drive-or-don't recommendation. The mechanical diagnostic is scheduled, slower, deeper — includes road test, live data, and a written repair plan.
Will you fix the problem on the spot?
Depends on the issue. Simple parts (sensors, light bulbs, common fluids) can sometimes be replaced in the same visit. Bigger work gets a separate booking with the right tools.
Do I need to be present?
Strongly recommended for noise / feel symptoms — driving with the customer is how the Ally hears what you hear. For check-engine codes you don't need to ride along.
How does pricing work if you find multiple issues?
The diagnostic fee is fixed for the visit, regardless of how many issues are found. Each recommended repair is quoted separately so you can decide what to tackle and when.
