Diagnostics

Ground Zero uses 100% ALL OEM tooling and software for pre and post-scanning and diagnostics

Overview

Pre-scan and post-scan services at a collision repair shop like Ground Zero Collision are used to diagnose and fix any issues with a vehicle’s electronic systems before and after repairs are made.

These services involve using specialized equipment, such as factory-grade diagnostic scanners, to scan a vehicle’s onboard computers for any error codes or diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

Why Are Diagnostics Important?

The pre-scan service is performed before any repairs are made to the vehicle to identify any existing issues that could be affected by the repairs. This helps to ensure that the repair work is done correctly and that all necessary parts are ordered in advance.

The post-scan service is performed after the repairs are completed to ensure that the vehicle’s electronic systems are functioning properly and that any DTCs have been cleared. This helps to ensure that the vehicle is safe to drive and that the repairs have been done correctly.

Many body shops choose to outsource these services or use aftermarket scanners and software as a cost-effective solution. It is also common practice among body shops, as the technology and equipment to perform the pre-scan and post-scan service is expensive and requires expertise to use.
