  • Diagnosis labour: $20 – $120 based on the diagnostic difficulty level. We classify the difficulty level of diagnosis into 5 categories, 1 being the easiest and 5 being the most difficult requiring in-depth knowledge and lab-scope analysis or multiple steps of testing along with various types of measuring tools for troubleshooting. Level 1 will charge $25, $50 for level 2, $75 for 3-4, $120 for level 5. Computer scanning(code reading/deleting) without parameter data analysis is considered as level 1, and if required the parameter data analysis, then considered as level 2 or higher. We believe it’s fair to charge like this instead of asking the uniform price like 1 hour or $100 for diagnosis including computer scanning. Because 95% of our diagnosis cases turn out to be level 4 or lower and 60% of level 2 or lower. In addition, we don’t charge diagnosis for level 1 when you authorize its repair, however if you decline the job then we charge you $25, then we set it aside for Charity Repair program.
