Check Engine Light & Diagnostics
We are sure that one day you were driving along minding your own business when all of a sudden that dreaded check engine light on your dashboard start to flash. While this is no time to panic, you must get it checked out right away. It can be caused by many things, and if left to its own devices, it could cause even more damage. To ensure we can pinpoint the problem ASAP, we have the very best diagnostics solutions available to ensure your car is back up and running sooner rather than later.
Flickers On Occasion
When your check engine light does this, it usually means that the problem is associated with certain driving conditions. Maybe everything is fine on the freeway, but when you hit the city streets, your dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree. We also need you to pay attention to any changes you may notice when the light is on and it comes to driving the car. This will give us a clue as to what is going on, and allow us to better plan what the best course of action is going to be. We will then pop around and take care of the rest.
It Stays On
If your light comes on and stays on, we think it is safe to assume that there is a problem with your vehicle's ECS, or emissions control system. Depending on the make and model you drive, the computer that controls this system could activate a range of safety control systems to protect the engine. This could range from assuming the worst driving conditions and only giving you access to certain gears, to shutting down the engine completely. Should this happen you do not need to panic? We promise our experts will pop round and have you sorted in no time.
It Stays On And You Can Feel It
When we start entering this realm it is safe to say that your engines control management systems have a serious problem. It usually boils down to one or two vital components having serious problems. In many cases, the vehicle will not be safe to drive at all, and we would suggest you leave it or get it to a safe location and give us a call immediately. Do not try to run or drive the vehicle as we can guarantee you will cause more damage. Rather allow our experts to handle the situation and see what they can do to help.
It Could Be Something Simple
We are sure we have painted the worst scenarios for you already and you may now have some concerns. If we are being totally honest though, most engine warning lights are triggered by something minor, or a simple fault in the software that manages these systems. They can be triggered by something as small as an open gas cap, faulty catalytic converters, bad airflow sensors, or general gremlins that seem to creep into your system overnight. These are all simple fixes, and once you have called us to take care of the problem, you will be back on the road in no time.
