Don't panic if you start your car, and you suddenly see a "check engine" light show up on your dash. Many people freak because they think it means that they've blown their motor. While it is possible that a serious situation exists, it is also possible that a minor issue is present.
An example of something small that can cause a "check engine" light to flare up is a dirty air filter. An air filter costs less than $10, and a car owner can have someone change it in less that five minutes.
The "check engine" light could refer to something serious like a blown head gasket or faulty intake manifold gasket. However, one should never assume the worst. The best way to handle a "check engine" light is to bring the car directly to someone who has experience in sorting coding issues. We equip our dealership's service center with advanced technology that can quickly pinpoint a problem. Call and schedule an appointment if you are having a problem with a light.
