The diagnostic is used to investigate the problem and determine the likely cause and recommended solution. If you have MidwestStack complete the repair, the $25 diagnostic fee is credited toward the work.

Do I need an appointment?

Appointments are recommended because availability can vary. Call, text, or message first and we can find a time that works.
