I just wanted to see what was wrong with my car, the check engine light was on-the auto zone’s diagnostic machine wasn’t working. Normally I have had good luck with GoodYear… Unfortunately $190 just to check out my car was insane, and to keep it overnight. Guy just tossed my key back and snickered. Ended up just going to another store and found out it was just the gas tank cover. Cost me nothing. Please don’t get ripped off here.
Hi Olivia, we’re sorry to hear you left feeling this way. We do want to clarify that there’s a difference between pulling a diagnostic trouble code and actually diagnosing the issue. A code reader can tell you what system triggered the check engine light, but it doesn’t necessarily identify the root cause. Our diagnostic process goes further by testing and inspecting the vehicle to determine what is actually causing the issue, rather than replacing parts or making repairs based on a code alone. That level of diagnosis takes time and is what the diagnostic charge covers. We’re also disappointed to hear about your interaction when you dropped off your vehicle. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have, and we’ll be addressing it with our team. We appreciate you sharing your feedback.
