Questions
Check Engine & Repair FAQ
Can I keep driving with the check engine light on?
A steady light usually means book a check soon. A flashing light often means a misfire that can damage the catalytic converter; most owner’s manuals say to reduce speed and have it checked right away.
How much is a diagnosis?
$180, and it’s applied toward the repair if you have us fix it.
Can't I just read the code at a parts store?
A code points to the system that set it, not always to the part that failed. A diagnosis tests that system, so you don’t pay for parts you didn’t need.
