Don't worry, they can't diagnose anything. They read OBDII powertrain codes for you, then generate a printout of possible causes that is generic to all cars (very unhelpful), then suggest selling you some of the parts listed on said printout, then twist in the wind for an explanation when you come back after their junk parts that were likely not appropriate for your particular repair didn't keep your MIL off. Substitute 'Autozone' for the name of any parts store that offers free code reading service. Please don't confuse diagnosis with code reading. At best what they offer is guided trial and error in an attempt to sell you parts, most of which are substandard to OEM.
