OBD2 Scanning At MotorCar Doctors Auto Repair

June 16, 2023 MotorCar Doctors Auto Repair

If your car’s check engine light comes on, it can be a frustrating experience. You may not know what’s wrong with your car, and you may not know where to take it. That’s where MotorCar Doctors Auto Repair in Beaverton, Oregon can help. We offer OBD2 scanning, which can help us diagnose the problem with your car and get it back on the road quickly.

What Is OBD2 Scanning?

OBD2 stands for On-Board Diagnostic System. It is a standard diagnostic system that is used in most cars made after 1996. OBD2 code readers can be used to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTC’s) from your car’s computer. DTC’s are codes that are generated when there is a problem with your car’s emissions system or other components.

How Does OBD2 Scanning Work?

An OBD2 scanner is a handheld device that plugs into your car’s diagnostic port. The scanner then reads the DTC’s that are stored in your car’s computer. The scanner can also display live data from your car’s sensors, such as engine temperature, fuel pressure, and air flow.

What Can OBD2 Scanning Tell You?

OBD2 scanning can tell you a lot about the problems with your car. It can tell you the specific code that is causing the problem, as well as the location of the problem. This information can help us diagnose the problem and get your car back on the road quickly.

Why Should You Have Your Car Scanned?

Our Customer Reviews

Awesome service and quick turnaround. Had the timing belt done on my GX470. They were able to do it for $600 less than another local shop. Work was finished in one day. Highly recommend MotorCar Doctors

Honest, knowledgeable, friendly
Gerhard Widtmann Feb 2, 2026

This was my first visit to this shop, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Eli took the time to explain the potential issue and walked me through the practical steps they would use to diagnose and repair it. I was kept informed of estimated costs throughout the process, which I really appreciated. Overall, the service was transparent, professional, and greatly appreciated.
Whitney Secrist Feb 2, 2026

I always come here for my turo inspections. Good and easy to work with.
Lael Sr. Feb 2, 2026

Eli and Chris were extremely helpful the entire time and called me multiple times to ensure I was up to date with all the information I needed to make an informed decision on next steps. They fixed the suspensions issues with my G35x and I’m extremely happy with the results of everything. They have time and time again been honest with their work and always make my car issues a little less stressful.

I actually spent no money the first time they serviced my car. My check engine light was on. For no charge, they topped off my oil and did a visual inspection of the engine along with a quick test for repair codes. Ultimately, the full diagnostic was not needed since the codes were concerning the engine had been low on oil. When my check engine light came on several months later.. they ran a full diagnostic at my second visit and discovered my oil leaking onto my spark plugs. It was an all day job and they drove me to and from my home while my car was worked on. I had brought my dog to the shop and they loved him. They were courteous, explained everything well, and willing to work on a SmartCar, which is a difficult service to find for this vehicle. I believe their prices are honest.. I would totally recommend. And I continue using this garage for my SmartCar with excellent service from them. Latest service was an oil change this month.

My kids car wouldn’t start so we had it towed there. They charged up the battery, found what was draining the battery, and put oil in his car and let us know of other issues found and only charged us for the oil. They have always been honest and give great service! Thank you

My brother took me here because of my check engine light was on for an evap code. they got me an appointment for the next day and turns out all I needed was a OEM gas cap. They didn’t even charge me for assessing the situation which I found amazing definitely gonna go back there for car help if I need to again!

Peggy Ford May 5, 2025

Got a transmission fluid service done on my 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. The work was done fast and honest, Eli and Chris are now my go to. They informed me of other issues and the level of severity, and we're very kind and transparent about their inspections and processes. These guys are great, I highly recommend this location.
Logan Mitchell Nov 11, 2025

I have had a lot of car trouble this year, and MotorCar Doctors have not only helped me work through those, but even identified bigger issues that were worked out before they had a chance to turn into even bigger ones! I trust MotorCar Doctors with the safety of my vehicle, and I am grateful for their service (Chris and Eli!)
Jason Woodcock Nov 11, 2025

After having a terrible experience at another shop I brought my car here. They figured out my clutch master and master slave cylinder needed replacements. It didn’t take them long at all to figure it out either. And after the other shop mis diagnosed my car and that shop having my car for days….it was a good feeling to have it figured out so quickly. They did a full inspection of my car, and 3 services for a way better price, and honestly got my car back in better condition then I gave it to them. Chris and Eli were both very communicative. They gave me a loaner car while my car was being worked on. I am very much appreciative of their help and now feel like I’ve found a place to trust working on my car. I have re fallen in love with driving my car all over again. Thank you!🙏
Siobhan Lewis Nov 11, 2025

Very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend.
Doni Forster Nov 11, 2025

Needed some work done on my Suby. Rolled in late right before closing. The front desk person ran out to the parking lot to check quickly with the technician as they were leaving for the day to get a quick idea about what my issue was. The next day they diagnosed and described the issue with evidence to support. Great report via text. Chris was friendly and helpful on the phone. Thank you!
Kirk Koehler Oct 10, 2025

I liked the service from MotorCar Doctor. Chris was friendly and nice. They took care of my car very well.
Ali Agha Samadi Sep 9, 2025

My girlfriends and I were on a road trip through Oregon and started having car trouble. We got in late Tuesday night and I started searching for mechanics in the area and came across MotorCar Doctors. We went in without an appointment and they were unable to take us that day but the guy behind the counter was able to do a very quick diagnostic and give us a sense of what was going on and he was able to refer us to the Meineke next door. Really appreciated how helpful he was.
Candice Blaha Sep 9, 2025

I felt the service techs were honest, professional and knowledgeable! The best thing I could say is I will definitely use this repair shop again.
Michael Perez Aug 8, 2025

Great service from this place! The people there are very accommodating and helped me find a ride back to work while they worked on my car. I needed my brakes changed before a trip and they got it done the same day.
Anna Dewitt Jul 7, 2025

Excellent honest service. Fast turnaround, drove my car to Texas the next week and it drove beautifully. Highly recommend and very fair price!!
Jane Hammack Jul 7, 2025

They got me in quickly, replaced my clutch, brakes, and my serpentine belt. I got it in to the shop at 8 and I had my car back by 5. Everyone was friendly and explained everything well. I will definitely be going back for my future car needs

Trustworthy, dependable, timely service. Always professional.
Geoffrey Clark Feb 2, 2021

Great service very knowledgeable they did a phenomenal job with the inspection very thorough recommend what needed to be done immediately and what to keep an eye on for the future service was completed quickly and very affordable highly recommended them for your car maintenance needs
Kenneth Brackett Feb 2, 2025

The rear window on the driver side decided to not go up last week. Come to find out the motor was toast. So I went over to my guys and they took care of me in a timely manner as usual. As an afterthought I asked them to check my battery and they did put the little machine on it. I guess that then I spit out a ticket telling me that it was 100%. So at least something's going right with the car LOL. The technicians are always very efficient. But I have to say Eli and Chris. They're my buddies. Pat
Pat Lally Jun 6, 2025

I was very impressed with the timing and the explanation from Chris. I really appreciate the help that they gave me on fixing my Ford Explorer. I would highly recommend them to anybody.. IG: jrodrick1970
Joe Rodrick Jun 6, 2025

Fast, friendly and a fair deal. What more could you ask for from a mechanic? Plus they gave me a loaner car to get to work. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.
Alena Nahabedian Jun 6, 2025

Great people. Honest and fast service. Been going to them for years!
Michael Graham Jun 6, 2025

I had pre-purchase inspection done here and it was excellent. They were thorough, reasonably priced, and provided a nicely color coded, electronic report immediately. They found leaky rear shocks which helped me negotiate a decent discount on the price.
Christopher Galvin Jun 6, 2025

Motorcar doctors (previously known as Clutch Doctors) are great, they have taken great care of Mimi (my beloved purple speed-demon vampire car) for the past 10-ish years, and they have (on several occasions) even done things for her that they didn't charge me for, and they always park Mimi inside when she stays overnight because she has a soft top (so I am paranoid about break ins if she is left in the parking lot over night). Today I took her in because she was squeaking underneath in a new way, and I was braced for needing transmission or suspension work, thinking omg what now (25 year old Miata, admittedly she is "at that age" where things can go wrong), I'm thinking omg his is going to be expensive. Turned out it was just a loose bolt and they didn't charge me. Thank you so much, I feel like you know Mimi (and me) so well. Here is to another 10 years 🙂

These guys finished a huge job on my BMW faster than any other shop could have. And their work is solid. I have trusted them to do several large jobs on my car and I’ve never been disappointed with the quality or work of the friendly service.
Cisco Whitson-Brown May 5, 2025

Timing belt replaced, done on time and as quoted. They also inspected other vehicle details and offered additional services. Price was competitive. Would use them again.
theanamule G May 5, 2025

Nice people, prices are fair, Loaners available. They seem like a trustworthy shop. I will go back to them for service in the future. Take the auto generated, suggested maintenance report that they give you with a grain of salt, Helpful, but some of the suggested repairs on my car had already been completed and did not show up on their report.
Seth Cowell Apr 4, 2025

Always trust the team at Motorcar Doctors. Eli is great. Will keep bringing all my cars here.
Kylan Gerard Aug 8, 2015

Great service! Impressive videos and pictures of the work that needs to be done on my vehicle.
Holly Ekstrom Mar 3, 2025

The team was professional and respectful when answering questions and explaining the issue with my car. They were also accommodating about tow drop-off time and my car pick up time. I'll be using them again!
Deanna JOHNSON Jan 1, 2022

Motor Doctors took good care of my car! I am very happy with their service.
Stacy Westly Jan 1, 2025

We've taken our cars to them for years (multiple makes and models). I appreciate their suggestions of which repairs are safety issues and which can be deferred. We are not numbers or taken for granted. They are like our big brothers taking great care of us like we were family. You can't go wrong here.
K Jaramillo Mar 3, 2020

Chris was great, explained everything that was wrong with my Toyota and what could happen if not taken care of. Gave me options and didn't pressure me into anything. Really appreciate the help and will be a repeat customer.
Daniel Lim Jan 1, 2025

Motor Car Drs is absolutely the best around! Had my Red Service done on my car, and my daughter’s car. Very reasonably priced! Outstanding customer service with Eli & Chris! Wouldn’t go anywhere else! Thank you!
Renee LaGrow Apr 4, 2019

My truck recently had a starter that needed replaced. They were quick about it. My brother that lives half a country away and is a technician said I got a fair price for what his company would quote. I'm happy to have it back quickly because I can't afford car rentals, Uber, or my insurance to go up for using their loaner car service
