Check Engine Light

Don’t Panic. But Don’t Ignore a Check Engine Light Either.

If your check engine light comes on, it could be something as simple as a loose gas cap or something more serious as a poorly running engine. Whatever the reason, you should get it checked out as soon as possible.

Driving long distances with the check engine light on could result in larger problems and more expense down the road.

Check Engine Light Code Retrieval

Our check engine light code retrieval service will identify why your check engine light is on quickly and accurately.

When your check engine light turns on, a fault code (OBD II) is registered in your vehicle’s computer detailing the nature of the problem. This fault code is stored and can only be retrieved with specialized equipment that can communicate with your vehicle’s onboard computer.

Our experienced technicians use this specialized equipment to pull the code from your vehicle’s computer to determine a course of action to get you back on the road as soon as possible.
