Frequently asked questions

Absolutely. We have advanced diagnostic equipment to read trouble codes and pinpoint issues. A check engine light can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to a serious engine problem. We'll give you an honest assessment and explain your options.

A steady check engine light usually means a non-emergency issue. You can typically keep driving, but don't ignore it for long. A flashing check engine light signals a more serious problem that can cause expensive damage if you keep driving: slow down, avoid hard acceleration, and get it checked right away.

We connect professional scan equipment to read your vehicle's trouble codes, then go further, reviewing live sensor data and testing components to verify the actual cause. A code only tells you where to start looking; our technicians pinpoint the root cause and explain your repair options before any work begins.

A loose or worn gas cap is one of the most common causes. It lets fuel vapors escape and triggers an evaporative-emissions code. Tighten the cap until it clicks; the light often resets itself after a few drives. If it stays on, stop in and we'll read the code for you.
