Self Diagnosis
Like to do it yourself? You can check all the parts on your car in your garage. You can check to see if a part is damaged by selecting it from the menu. This can take time but it can avoid the cost of getting a diagnosis from the repair shop. Damaged parts can be replaced by installing undamaged parts from your spare parts bin or purchasing new parts from the part shop.
The drawback is that if any one part of a set is broken you will have to shop for a new entire set on your own. The part shop does not sell parts that come in sets as single items. This can only be done by the repair shop. In most cases it will be cheaper to let the repair shop diagnose the problem and have it fixed with them.
Repair Shop
Repair shops can diagnose your cars problems and provide you with an itemized list of things that need to be fixed and recommendations. Visiting a repair shop can be very useful because they can warn you of parts with significant wear that may be close to failing. This information could be very important if you are preparing for a big race or tournament event.
Different Repair shops will have different pricing for diagnosis and may or may not be able to service your car. Some repair shops in the lower level cities can not diagnose and service cars from higher level cities.
Once you get the diagnosis from the repair shop you can select which item you would like the shop to fix. The price of diagnosing the problem is always applied to the cost of fixing it.
