Engine Repairs

Your vehicle comes equipped with electronic warning systems that can notify you, and even prevent engine damage.

Most important of these is your check engine light. When this warning light comes up, it usually means there is an issue with an engine component. Getting that information can be tricky without specialized tools and equipment.

However, having a qualified technician inspect, test, and verify, that the recommended repair will solve the issue which could save you hundreds of dollars instead of just guessing, and having someone simply replace parts when there may be an underlying problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically, you will see two types of warnings:

  • A solid, or half, Check Engine light usually signifies an accessory component or something non vital is failing on/in your engine.
  • A flashing Check Engine light usually indicates a vital component failure. When you see this, you should not drive your vehicle and should get to your nearest service center for diagnostics. This could save your engine!

On average, it costs between $90-$160 to have your Check Engine light diagnosed depending on your vehicle.

These types of vehicles can cost more to diagnose. For a no-obligation quote, contact our friendly and knowledgeable technicians today.
