FAQ
Here are the most common questions customers ask before scheduling mobile diagnostics, pre-purchase inspections, or repair with Lubomiroff Performance.
Lubomiroff Performance provides professional mobile auto diagnostics and repair. We help with vehicles that are not running properly, have warning lights, no-start issues, overheating, leaks, brake problems, suspension noise, electrical issues, and other mechanical concerns.
Many repairs can be completed at your home or workplace. Larger jobs may be completed at our shop when mobile repair is not practical or safe.
Yes. We come to homes, workplaces, driveways, and safe parking locations where the vehicle can be inspected and repaired properly.
We are not a roadside assistance service. We do not normally perform repairs in unsafe public areas, busy supermarket parking lots, or locations where the work cannot be done safely.
Lubomiroff Performance is based in Vancouver, Washington. Service is available in Vancouver, Camas, Ridgefield, Portland, Beaverton, Hillsboro, Cedar Mill, Bethany, Tigard, Lake Oswego, West Linn, Happy Valley, Milwaukie, Clackamas, Oregon City, and Troutdale.
We work on many makes and models, including American, European, and Japanese vehicles. If you are not sure whether we can work on your vehicle, send the year, make, model, engine if known, and a short description of the issue.
Yes. We work on many American vehicles, including Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, Cadillac, Lincoln, and others.
Yes. We work on many European vehicles, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Mini, Porsche, and others.

Yes. A standard pre-purchase inspection is $250 for most passenger cars, SUVs, and light-duty trucks. It includes an on-site inspection, diagnostic scan of available modules, road test when permitted, photos, and a written report.
Select luxury, exotic, high-performance, heavily modified, commercial, or unusually complex vehicles are quoted individually before scheduling.

Yes. Diagnostics are a major part of what we do. We test the vehicle before recommending repairs, instead of guessing or replacing parts without confirmation.
Diagnostics may include scan tool data, visual inspection, electrical testing, pressure testing, smoke testing, fuel-trim analysis, battery and charging system testing, and other checks depending on the issue.
Diagnostic visits are $100 or $250, depending on the vehicle and the expected testing scope.
The $100 diagnostic visit is intended for one clearly defined concern that can usually be evaluated through a focused inspection and standard testing. If an approved repair is completed during the same visit, the $100 diagnostic charge is applied toward the repair labor.
The $250 diagnostic visit includes up to two hours of testing and is used for complex, intermittent, electrical, multiple-system, or previously misdiagnosed concerns. Minor repair may be completed within that time when feasible. Parts, materials, and any additional labor are charged separately.
A no-start, warning-light, or drivability concern may fall into either price level depending on the vehicle, symptom history, access, and testing required. The applicable diagnostic price is confirmed before scheduling.
Yes. We diagnose first and recommend repairs based on test results, symptoms, and visible condition. This helps avoid unnecessary parts replacement and saves time and money.
Yes. We diagnose no-start and no-crank problems, including battery, starter, alternator, fuel delivery, ignition, security system, wiring, and electrical faults.
If the repair can be safely completed on-site and parts are available, we may be able to fix it at your location.
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe and shut the engine off. Continuing to drive an overheating vehicle can cause major engine damage.
Do not open the cooling-system cap while the engine is hot. Send us the vehicle information, location, warning messages, temperature behavior, and any visible coolant leak so we can determine the next step.
Many repairs can be completed the same day if the issue is confirmed, the vehicle is accessible, and the correct parts are available.
Some repairs require parts ordering, extra diagnostic time, or shop equipment.
Some repairs require a lift, shop equipment, controlled working conditions, or extended disassembly. In those cases, the repair may be completed at our shop.
We will explain the reason, scope, pricing, transportation arrangements, and next steps before the vehicle is moved or additional work begins.
Yes, by prior approval. The Repair Order will state whether the job includes Standard coverage, Installation Workmanship Only, or is designated “No Warranty.”
Incorrect, defective, incomplete, or incompatible customer-supplied parts may result in additional diagnostic or labor charges.
Repair pricing depends on the vehicle, confirmed cause, parts selected, component access, labor required, and whether shop equipment is needed.
After the issue is confirmed, we provide a clear estimate for approval before repair work begins. No work outside the approved scope is performed without customer authorization.
Yes. After we review the vehicle information and the issue, we explain the next step and provide an estimate before approved repair work begins.
For diagnostic jobs, the exact repair cost may depend on what is found during testing.
We will explain what was found and provide an updated estimate before performing work outside the approved scope.
Additional repairs are not performed without customer authorization.
Yes. Diagnostic, inspection, service-call, or travel charges cover the time, travel, testing, equipment use, and findings provided during the appointment.
Whether a diagnostic charge can be applied toward a subsequent repair will be stated before the appointment or on the applicable estimate.
Yes. Warranty coverage is based on the status shown on your Repair Order.
When Standard coverage is selected, the listed workmanship is covered for 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Supplied parts follow applicable manufacturer or supplier terms. Other warranty statuses have different limitations.

Not always. The appointment may be completed without you remaining at the vehicle if access, keys, authorization, communication, and payment arrangements are confirmed in advance.
You must remain reachable if additional authorization is needed.
