Services · 6 shops across the CSRA
Check engine light on in Augusta, Martinez, Thomson, Aiken or Warrenville? Bring your car to C&C Automotive. Families across the CSRA have trusted us with the best in auto repair since 1977, and all six of our shops (Downtown Augusta, West Augusta, Martinez, Thomson, Warrenville and Aiken) run full car diagnostic tests. We tell you what we found and give you a fair price before we fix anything.
A code from a parts store scanner only points at a system. It does not say which part failed, and swapping parts on a guess gets expensive fast. Our ASE-certified technicians test until they find the real cause, then explain it in plain words. Most repairs are backed by a 2-year / 24,000-mile warranty from the shop that does the work, and our courtesy shuttle can take you home or to work while your car is in.

Amazing service. Tonya recommended doing an A/C diagnostic before doing any work that Goodyear had told me needed to be done for the loss of freon. Goodyear was wrong and rather than having an expense of $1,600 my bill came to $845 for all the repairs.

The local angle
Heat and humidity
Long, humid summers are hard on sensors, rubber vacuum hoses and wiring connectors under the hood. Heat cracks hoses and moisture corrodes connections, and either one can turn the light on or make it come and go.
Red clay dust and pollen
Dust from red clay and the heavy spring pollen get pulled into the engine's air intake. A dirty air filter or a coated airflow sensor can make the engine run rough and set a code, which is why we test the part before anyone replaces it.
Commutes, city traffic and highway miles
Stop-and-go driving on Washington Road, Whiskey Road, Wrightsboro Road and Bobby Jones Expressway, plus long runs on I-20, I-520 and rural roads, adds miles quickly. Worn spark plugs, ignition coils and oxygen sensors are common reasons for a light, and they show up sooner on a car that gets driven a lot.
If your light is on right now, or it keeps coming back, have it tested at a C&C shop before it strands you on the way to work. See this month's specials.

They picked my truck up this morning and they supposed to be running a diagnostic on there today. They are very cool and good so I'm ready to hear from them today and find out what's going on with my truck. Hopefully, I will hear something in the next three hours or before they close. Thank you

I walked in on a random weekday with front end suspension issues. Got the issue diagnosed within one day from me dropping my vehicle off. Had the issue repaired and my vehicle ready the following business day morning. Fantastic experience and customer service.Thanks Mr. Derek! At the Warrenville location.

Everything went well, the team work with me on some things I had going as far as picking up vehicle up. The issues I had would not be detected without a technician looking at it on a routine oil change, with that said, I had to trust the team on their diagnose, so far all is good.

What we do
A lot of what we diagnose every day is domestic: F-150s, Explorers, Silverados, Tahoes, Sierras, Ram 1500s, Wranglers, Grand Cherokees and Durangos. When a warning light comes on in your truck or SUV, bring it to the closest C&C shop for a real diagnosis and a fair price on the repair. Imports get the same careful testing.
As advanced as modern-day diagnostic scanning tools are, they still can't tell you exactly what the problem is. You need a trusted mechanic for that. At C&C Automotive, we take the results of your diagnostic scan (a specific diagnostic code) and use them as a road map to clue us in on where the issue is. From there we thoroughly inspect the affected system or systems and diagnose the problem, so our skilled technicians can offer reliable solutions.
This process saves you time and money, our mechanics find and repair the real problem sooner, instead of throwing parts at a fault code.
A car diagnostic test doesn't just identify existing issues, it can also reveal concerns before they cause visible symptoms. This proactive approach protects fuel efficiency, reduces repair costs, and ensures your vehicle remains safe and reliable. If ignored, small performance issues can escalate into significant repairs.
Our skilled technicians go beyond simply reading codes. We combine computer readings with hands-on inspections to understand the full picture, allowing us to diagnose problems accurately and recommend effective repairs.
If your vehicle struggles with reduced power, poor acceleration, or stalling, a car diagnostic can reveal the cause. Problems with the ignition system, fuel delivery, sensors, or exhaust can all affect engine performance. Our diagnostic services help locate the exact source, so repairs target the issue directly instead of relying on guesswork.
The result: restored performance, improved fuel efficiency, and confidence that your vehicle is operating as it should.
When you bring your vehicle in for diagnostics, we follow a clear and thorough process:
If your check engine light is on, or if your modern vehicle is behaving a little odd, schedule an appointment or come on by. Our technicians are here to help give you peace of mind with an accurate diagnosis of your vehicle's condition, top-quality repairs, and unbeatable service. We serve Augusta, Martinez, Thomson, GA and Warrenville, Aiken, SC from six locations.
Straight pricing
That depends on how hard the problem is to track down. Bring it to your nearest C&C shop and we will tell you what the testing involves and give you a fair price before we start, and you can check our specials too. These are the things that affect the cost:
How deep it goes
A clear, single fault is quick. An intermittent gremlin or a wiring problem takes real time to chase.
How many systems
One code is one thing. Several lights tied together usually means more testing.
Special tools or data
Some makes need factory-level scan tools or service info to dig in properly.
Intermittent faults
A problem that comes and goes is the hardest to catch, since we have to get it to act up.
