Your Check Engine Light: What You Need to Know

If your check engine light comes on, the vehicle's system has detected an issue, which could be something minor or major. Common causes are things like a loose gas cap, a bad oxygen sensor, or bigger problems such as the engine misfiring.

Important: If that check engine light is flashing, pull over! Driving with a flashing light could cause engine damage or additional issues. You'll want to get it towed. We suggest Vel Towing, who we have trusted for years.

So, you bring your car in with the light on. First, we take a look. Then, we run a full test with state-of-the-art technology. We hook up a scanner to your car's computer, which reads the codes the system is throwing. These codes act as clues that tell us roughly where the issue is. Our guys then use this information to zero in on exactly what's wrong.

Just reading the code isn't enough to provide you with a comprehensive diagnostic. The light tells you something's wrong, and the codes tell us where to look. But to know what's really happening, we need to dig deeper. Testing gives us real insight so we can fix things right.

Our technicians may need to test drive your car to check the sensor data while the car is running. This helps us find issues that may not be detectable when car is parked. Depending on the results of our diagnostic testing, we may recommend further testing or repairs to ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently.

After the initial inspection and diagnostic testing, we'll contact you with the findings and let you know if our technicians recommend any additional maintenance services or future repairs to keep your car running smoothly and safely.

Worried about how much all this costs and how long it takes? We get it. Car repairs you weren't expecting are never fun. But getting things checked out now, can save you money later. Ignoring the light could mean bigger, more expensive problems down the road. It could also be a simple fix! Either way, our technicians are adept at check engine light diagnostics and can provide you with a peace of mind with their findings.

In conclusion, if your check engine light turns on, give us a call as soon as you can. Catching problems early can stop them from turning into big issues. Our techs will give you the straight story and clear pricing so you know what's going on at every step of the process. Taking care of your ride today will ensure your vehicle's safety and efficiency tomorrow.
