The Job
Straight Answers Before Any Work Begins
A warning light on the dash doesn't always mean a major problem, but ignoring it can turn a small issue into an expensive one. At SJB Mechanical, we offer vehicle diagnostics in Cairns using modern scanning equipment to identify exactly what's going on, whether it's an engine, transmission or electrical fault. Our diagnostic fee is $150 plus GST, with an additional $50 if a dedicated ECU scan tool is required for your make or model.
We'll give you a straight, honest diagnosis before any work is booked in, so you know what you're paying for. If the fault turns out to be more involved, our engine and transmission repairs can take care of it under the same roof.

Warning lights can be triggered by minor issues, like a loose fuel cap, as well as more serious mechanical or electrical faults. A diagnostic scan is the only reliable way to tell the difference without guessing.
Yes, a diagnostic check is a standalone service used to identify a fault, and any repair work is a separate decision made afterwards. This gives the vehicle owner a clear picture of the problem and the cost before committing to further work.
