Pre & Post-Repair Scans · Springfield, VA
Pre & Post Repair Scans
Modern vehicles carry 15–30 onboard computers (some luxury models 60+), each storing diagnostic trouble codes. A pre-scan reads them before teardown so the repair plan is complete; a post-scan confirms every code is resolved and the repair introduced no new faults — both fully documented.
Why it matters to your shop
Confidence in every collision repair.
A pre-scan is the vital first step in blueprinting — it surfaces damage that isn't visible at teardown, so there are no late surprises or supplements. Most manufacturers require it. We bring OBD-II scanners, OEM security-gateway access, and full ADAS capability to shops in and around Springfield.
A post-scan, performed after reassembly and any calibrations, proves the vehicle left your shop with no active codes and the repair done right — the documentation insurers and OEMs require.
