The engine is the power house in your vehicle. Your engine uses internal combustion to generate the power needed to move your vehicle. When your engine is not running at maximum efficiency, it can greatly reduce power and driveability. Your on-board computer is constantly monitoring input from dozens of sensors. When it detects something not operating within parameters, it will turn on your check engine light.

Common Questions About Engine Services

What does the check engine light mean?

The check engine light means your vehicle's computer has detected a problem with the engine, emissions, or related systems. It could be something minor like a loose gas cap or something more serious. A diagnostic scan identifies the specific issue.

Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?

If the light is steady, you can generally drive to our shop, but don't ignore it for long. If the check engine light is flashing, pull over safely and call us. A flashing light indicates a severe misfire that can damage the catalytic converter.

How long does a diagnostic take?

A basic computer scan takes about 30-60 minutes. More complex electrical or intermittent issues may require additional diagnostic time. We will keep you informed throughout the process.
