What a diagnosis includes
A trouble code points to a system, not to a part. The shop reads stored and pending codes, then tests the part or circuit the code points to before recommending a repair, so you do not pay to replace parts that were fine.
European cars are diagnosed in the shop with European-capable equipment.
Problems we diagnose
- Check engine light, steady or flashing
- Misfires, rough idle and shaking
- Car won't start or starts and stalls
- Poor acceleration or hesitation
- Overheating and oil leaks
Steady or flashing check engine light
A steady light means the engine computer found a fault; get it checked soon, and note that it fails the New York State emissions inspection. A flashing light means an active misfire that can overheat and damage the catalytic converter, so stop driving and call.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a diagnosis cost at TK Modern Auto Repair?
A diagnosis is billed as one hour of labor. You get the findings and a written estimate before any repair.
A parts store read my code for free. Why pay for a diagnosis?
A code names a system or a symptom, not the failed part. A diagnosis tests the part or circuit behind the code so the repair fixes the cause.
Can I drive with the check engine light on?
If it is steady, usually yes for a short time, but get it checked soon; it also fails the New York State emissions inspection. If it is flashing, stop driving: that is an active misfire.
Will you just clear the code?
No. The shop does not erase a code without finding and fixing the cause.
Do you diagnose European cars?
Yes. The shop has European-capable diagnostic equipment in-house.
Do I need an appointment?
Requesting a time is easiest: pick an arrival window online at tkmodernauto.com/booking and the shop confirms it by phone. If something is wrong today, call (718) 266-1703 and the shop fits you in where it can.
