Automotive Diagnostics & Repair

We are the Dependable Auto Repair Shop - Located on the west side of Sioux Falls, near the intersection of 15th St. and Marion Rd.

Whether your vehicle's 'check engine' light comes on or not, it's always a good idea to check the health of the engine and all of the vehicle's components.
Think of it as a check-up with your doctor.
It's never the wrong time to make sure everything is functioning properly.
A little maintenance will take you a long way down the road.
Using specialized diagnostic tools along with a lifetime of experience, a good auto technician will combine the use of both software along with years of know-how to keep your car running at its optimum. A good technician knows not only that a particular problem exists, but also how to pinpoint it, and then fix it.

Don't wait for a problem to appear. Make sure you get ahead of any issues, and you won't find yourself dealing with a poor running or malfunctioning car when you least expect it.
It's easy to hookup diagnostics software to tell you what's wrong, but it takes an experienced auto technician to know what may soon go wrong.
This is where fancy software is lacking, and where experience comes to the fore.

It's a good idea to bring your vehicle in for a diagnostics test every year.
Waiting for the 'check engine' light to come on, or waiting for something to break is only going to make things worse.
At TDS Auto Repair we use only quality automotive parts, so you know that your vehicle will be repaired correctly, and continue running smoothly for a long time to come.
