Why driving it to the shop can cost you more
Some problems get worse every mile. An engine that's overheating, a flashing check engine light, low oil pressure or brakes that are grinding can turn a modest repair into a big one on the drive across town.
With DartsAuto, the diagnosis comes to the car. Chris finds the actual cause where it's parked and tells you what it needs, whether it's safe to drive and what the fix involves, before anything gets replaced.
What we diagnose
Signs it's time for a diagnosis
If any of these show up, it's worth finding out why before you put more miles on it.
Other Warning Lights
Battery, oil, temperature, ABS or brake lights explained, along with whether it's safe to drive.
No-Starts
Clicks, cranks without starting, or nothing at all. We'll find out if it's the battery, starter or something else.
Overheating
A rising temperature gauge is one of the worst things to keep driving on. We'll find the cause on site.

Questions
Diagnostics FAQ
Should I drive my car to a shop if a warning light comes on?
It depends on the light. A flashing check engine light, an overheating engine or a low oil pressure warning can mean driving it will cause more damage. Call first and we can come to you.
Can you really diagnose a car in my driveway?
Yes. DartsAuto is a mobile mechanic, so diagnostics are done where your vehicle is parked, whether that's your driveway, a parking lot or on campus.
Do you just read the code?
No. A code points to where to look, not always to the broken part. We find the actual problem before anything gets replaced.
What areas do you cover?
Evansville, Newburgh, Boonville and Princeton, Indiana, plus the University of Southern Indiana and the University of Evansville.
