Questions
Frequently asked
Is the online estimate a final price?
No. It's a preliminary range based on your description and Ignite's posted labor rate. A technician confirms the exact parts, labor time and final price after inspecting the vehicle in person.
Do I need an appointment for a check-engine light?
Booking ahead gets you a bay faster, but you're welcome to look up your code above first — it'll tell you whether the issue is urgent enough to come in right away.
What if my code isn't in your lookup tool?
Our reference set covers the most common OBD-II codes. If yours isn't listed, our technicians still diagnose it in-shop with full scan-tool equipment and manufacturer data.
Do you work on my make of vehicle?
Yes — domestic, import and EV. Select your vehicle in the estimate tool above and we'll tailor the range to it.
Is there a fee just to get a diagnosis?
The online tools above are free. In-shop diagnostic time is included in the preliminary range you're shown before any work is approved.
