What Roadside Diagnostics Includes
OBD-II Fault Code Scan
We connect professional diagnostic equipment to your vehicle's OBD-II port to retrieve all stored, pending, and active fault codes — giving us an immediate picture of what systems are reporting problems.
Live Data Analysis
We analyze live sensor data to understand what's happening in real time — not just what codes are stored. This is critical for intermittent problems that may not trigger a stored code.
Visual Inspection
We perform a targeted visual inspection based on the symptoms and diagnostic findings — checking for leaks, damaged components, loose connections, and other visible issues.
Safety Assessment
We give you a clear, honest assessment of whether the vehicle is safe to drive, what the problem is, and what your options are — including whether an on-site repair is possible or a tow is needed.
Digital Report
All findings are documented and delivered through The Hop Shop App so you have a permanent record of what was found, even if you need to take the vehicle elsewhere for a major repair.
Roadside Diagnostics vs. Guessing
Many drivers ignore warning lights or try to drive through symptoms hoping the problem resolves itself. This approach frequently turns a minor repair into a major one. A roadside diagnostic from The Hop Shop gives you accurate information in minutes so you can make an informed decision — not a costly guess.
