The ROI of Accuracy: Why Advanced Diagnostics Pays Off.

The ROI of Accuracy: Why Advanced Diagnostics Pays Off


With a minimum hourly labour rate of R600, the initial hour spent diagnosing a check engine light often focuses solely on retrieving the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC).


This is where Speed Density Tuned distinguishes itself.


Our expertise goes beyond simply reading the DTC. We delve deeper, eliminating the risk of misdiagnosis based on potentially misleading codes. Leveraging Freeze Frame Data, we can pinpoint the precise moment an error was recorded. This crucial information allows us to thoroughly analyze the underlying issue that triggered the DTC.


Often, the presented DTC is merely a secondary symptom detected by the CAN Bus system. Our ability to access and interpret this accurate information provides an unparalleled level of diagnostic insight, previously exclusive to OEM diagnostic technology.


Elevate your business's professionalism by eliminating the costly risk of unnecessary repairs. Present your customers with irrefutable evidence directly from the Engine Control Unit (ECU). Our advanced diagnostic capabilities and deep understanding of ECU operation represent a critical skill often lacking in South Africa.


By capturing and analysing live engine data, we can precisely identify sensor failures, deviations in fuel and ignition mapping, detonation events, and a comprehensive range of other potential issues. Regardless of the quality of mechanical repairs, if the ECU maps are incorrectly configured, the vehicle will likely return with issues like detonation within days.


While some engine problems are visually apparent, many crucial details are hidden within the ECU's calibration. Our ability to thoroughly analyze these maps and understand their impact on repairs directly translates to higher quality results and reduced customer dissatisfaction. In fact, your customers might unknowingly be driving vehicles with non-standard ECU configurations, underscoring the value of our expert diagnostic approach.
