Our ASE-certified technicians rely on advanced scan tools and real-world testing to evaluate circuits, sensors, control modules, charging systems, and communication networks. By combining technology with training, we remove uncertainty and make sure the correct repair is completed the first time.
From minor issues like failing sensors to complex wiring faults or intermittent electrical problems, our experts provide clear answers and dependable solutions. Electrical diagnostics are not just about clearing a warning light, they’re about restoring confidence every time you start the car.
When electrical issues appear, you need more than a simple code scan, you need specialists who can trace the real cause of the problem. At Uptown Automotive, our certified team combines experience, technology, and careful communication to deliver diagnostics you can count on.

At Uptown Automotive, our electrical diagnostic process is designed to locate the true cause of warning lights, electrical faults, or intermittent system failures. Each step reduces uncertainty and helps ensure your vehicle gets the correct repair without unnecessary part replacements.
Initial Consultation and Code Scan
We begin by reviewing your concerns and performing a full code scan. This gives us a starting point and helps identify which systems need closer attention during the diagnostic process.
Thorough Electrical System Testing
Our technicians then test circuits, sensors, and modules to understand how each component is communicating. This helps us uncover issues that basic code readers often overlook, including wiring faults or voltage irregularities.
Detailed Fault Tracing
Once we narrow the problem area, we follow the path to the exact source. Whether the issue involves a weak ground, damaged wiring, or a malfunctioning sensor, we confirm the root cause before recommending repairs.
Clear Repair Recommendations
After identifying the issue, we explain our findings and outline the repair options. You’ll know what needs to be fixed, why it matters, and what the repair includes before any work begins.
Professional Repairs and System Verification
Repairs are completed with OEM or high-quality components, then the system is retested to confirm everything is operating properly and your vehicle is ready for the road.

Professional, high quality bodywork, ease of scheduling, vehicle repaired when promised, competitive pricing, and amazing staff in the office, mechanics, or the body shop. I highly recommend Uptown Automotive.
Aarij Rahman
Would rate more than 5 stars if I could. Professional, friendly, communicative. Got me out in time even given a time crunch on my end and a delay on a special order custom bumper. Would definitely recommend.
sergio m
Excellent work from the whole staff. Laura was great to work with and always willing to help. Will definitely use them again if needed.
Liz Majeski
I just had my oil changed here and couldn’t have had a better experience. My boyfriend was working nights so I was able to drop off my car before opening hours which was super convenient and the staff accommodated a late pickup as well on a Saturday! So glad I found this place and would happily use them again. We will be bringing my boyfriend’s car here now as well.

What does an electrical diagnostic check include?
An electrical diagnostic includes scanning for error codes, testing wiring, sensors, modules, and charging systems, and evaluating communication networks to identify issues accurately.
Why did my dashboard warning light come on?
Warning lights can signal anything from a failing sensor to wiring problems or charging system issues. A diagnostic test is the only way to confirm the true cause.
How long does an electrical diagnostic take?
Most electrical diagnostics can be completed within an hour, but complex or intermittent issues may require additional testing time to pinpoint the problem.
Can a basic code reader replace professional diagnostics?
