Modern vehicles have complex computer systems designed to monitor and control nearly every aspect of your car’s performance. From your engine and transmission to your brakes and exhaust, onboard diagnostics are crucial in monitoring systems. When something goes wrong, your car’s computer system often triggers a dashboard warning light, such as the dreaded "Check Engine" light.
At Baird’s Auto and Tire, we specialize in computer diagnostics for all makes and models, helping drivers in Normal, IL, and surrounding communities like Bloomington, Towanda, and Carlock identify and fix issues quickly and accurately. With over 50 years in business and certified technicians who use the latest diagnostic tools, we are your go-to solution for finding the root cause of your car troubles.
When a problem is detected, your vehicle’s computer stores a code that helps identify the issue. At Baird’s Auto and Tire, our technicians use cutting-edge diagnostic scanners and software to read and interpret these error codes.
