We are a full service auto repair shop that can offer comprehensive care for your car, including check engine light diagnostics and repairs. Check engine light can indicate a wide range of problems – from mundane to very serious, up to and including engine damage or catalytic converter damage.

If the car is driving normally, and the check engine light is illuminated but not flashing, you should call an auto repair garage and schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience. Driving for prolonged time with the check engine light “on” can cause expensive damage to your vehicle.
