Service Engine Soon / Check Engine Light

Fortunately, todays vehicles do not have many serious engine problems, especially if you follow the manufacturer’s recommended service intervals.  Due to the trouble-free operation most of us enjoy, how do you know if you may be having an engine problem?  Here are some things to be aware of:
  • Suddenly your vehicle seems to have trouble starting.
  • When you are at a stop sign your vehicle seems to be running rough, or shuts off without warning.
  • Your riding lawn mower has better acceleration than your car. 
  • Your stops at the neighborhood gas station have increased in frequency even though your miles driven have not changed.
  • You find yourself adding multiple quarts of oil between oil change intervals.  
  • That pesky service light on your dash is staying lit.
One thing for sure, if you suspect you may be having an engine problem, give us a call and let us diagnose the issue. Postponing necessary engine repairs can quickly lead to bigger and more expensive problems.  

Did You Know?

The first “Check Engine Light” was known as a MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) and first appeared in the early 1980s in General Motors vehicles.

Did You Know?

If your check engine light was on and went off by itself it doesn’t necessarily mean that there isn’t a problem. Error codes are stored in your automobile’s computer and we will retrieve them for you to help you avoid a long-term issue.

Having us check your check engine light at your earliest convenience can save you a lot of money. Fixing a small problem now can prevent a more expensive problem later.
