Car Diagnostic Inspection for Mitsubishi
A diagnostic inspection costs RM 80 for a small Mitsubishi and RM 120 for a large one, takes about an hour, and identifies the likely cause before you approve any repairs. You describe the symptom, the workshop scans and inspects, then quotes the next step.
How does a diagnostic inspection work?
You book and describe what you have noticed — a warning light, noise, poor starting, or performance drop. The workshop reviews your symptom, scans the engine control unit where applicable, and does a visible multi-point inspection to find the likely cause.
What happens after the inspection is complete?
The workshop prepares a written finding that names the likely problem and quotes the repair cost. You then decide whether to proceed same-day, book a return visit, or get a second opinion elsewhere. No repair work is done without your approval.
What does Pungbrong specifically check on Mitsubishi models?
Xpander, Triton, Outlander, and ASX models commonly present battery and charging faults, brake and suspension wear, and air-conditioning or fluid leaks. The diagnostic inspection screens all three areas so you see the full picture before deciding which job to tackle first.
What would require a second visit?
If parts are needed but unavailable the same day, or if the scan reveals a problem that needs specialist equipment or a longer investigation, the workshop will explain that upfront. Most simple faults are diagnosed and quoted within the hour.
Diagnostic inspection stages and duration

Mitsubishi specifics
Mitsubishi Xpander, Triton, Outlander, and ASX owners commonly bring battery and charging faults, routine brake and suspension wear, and air-conditioning leaks to the workshop. A diagnostic inspection screens all three areas so you know which repair is most urgent.
Frequently asked questions
Will the diagnostic inspection find every problem on my Mitsubishi?
The inspection identifies the likely cause of the symptom you reported and screens visible components for other wear. It will not reveal internal faults that need the engine opened, or faults in parts you do not drive on. If you have multiple symptoms, mention all of them when booking so the inspection covers everything.
What if the workshop cannot find the cause?
If the scan shows no fault code and visible checks find nothing obvious, the workshop will explain what else could be tested and quote that work. Sometimes a fault is intermittent and does not trigger a code. You can then decide whether to leave the car overnight, attempt a test drive, or return when the symptom appears again.
Can I book a diagnostic inspection without knowing what is wrong?
Yes. Describe what you notice — a smell, noise, warning light, or performance change — and the workshop will investigate. Send the model and symptom on WhatsApp before you set off so the workshop books enough time and has any specialist scanner ready.
How is the diagnostic inspection quote different from the repair quote?
The inspection fee (RM 80–120) covers finding the problem. Once the problem is identified, the workshop quotes the repair separately — brake pads, a battery, an air-conditioning service, or whatever the inspection finds. You approve the repair quote before any work starts.
