Questions
Good to know before you book
Still unsure? Call the shop and a service advisor will talk you through it.
Can’t I just get the code read for free?
A code tells you where to look, not what’s broken. Diagnostics confirm the cause so you don’t pay for parts you didn’t need.
Is it safe to drive with the light on?
If it’s steady, usually yes for a short time. If it’s flashing, pull over when safe and call us. That can mean a misfire that damages the catalytic converter.

Sample review
My check-engine light had been on for months. They found a cracked vacuum hose, showed me the crack on video and fixed it the same day.
