A Diagnostic Code Doesn't Tell the Whole Story
A scan-tool code is a clue, not a diagnosis. A P0301 misfire can be a coil, an injector, a vacuum leak, low compression, or a software issue — and on a modern BMW or Audi, throwing parts at it can cost thousands.
At Import Specialty Auto in Colorado Springs, our technicians use professional diagnostic equipment and manufacturer-specific tools (Opus DrivePro, Autel, ISTA, VCDS, and more) to read live data, run actuator tests, and identify the actual root cause.
We Diagnose More Than Check Engine Lights
We diagnose drivability issues, misfires, emissions failures, transmission codes, ABS and SRS faults, charging-system faults, and CAN-bus communication problems.
You'll get a clear written explanation of what's wrong, why, and what it takes to fix it — with photos and screen captures when they help tell the story.
Clear Answers, Convenient Service
If your check engine light is flashing, stop driving and call us. It can indicate an active misfire that can quickly damage the catalytic converter.
We're able to accommodate most diagnostic appointments on the same day.
We serve Colorado Springs, Monument, Falcon, Black Forest, Briargate, Fountain, and Manitou Springs.
