Dealing with that check engine light

When a check engine light turns on or you notice something wrong with your vehicle, our experts will use computer diagnostics to accurately determine the cause of the issue. Your vehicle has an intelligent computer system that is connected to sensors and electrical signals that are connected to different parts and components. When there is an issue with a component in your vehicle, the computer system is signaled and your check engine light will illuminate. This check engine light is a warning that something is wrong with your vehicle. We connect our computer diagnostic equipment to your vehicle’s computer system and retrieve the error code that triggered the warning. That error code will tell us exactly what is wrong in your vehicle. Once we determine the problem, we will share our recommendations with you and determine which services should be performed to return your vehicle back to working condition.
