Check Engine Light On?

You're driving along the interstate and suddenly your check engine light comes on. What is it for? What does it mean? Do I need to stop? Can I keep going?

In most cases it simply means your cars computer system has detected some sort of problem issue or warning. Today with all the sensors that a car has on it would lead a technician in hundreds of different directions. Some cars can have as many as 50 different sensors. How do you know what to do and where to go?

Answer: One of our Honest-1 Certified Technicians Honest-1 Auto Care, because Honest-1 has invested in the finest equipment and training money can buy to figure these problems out. It can be as simple as a loose gas cap that can trigger your check engine light or it could be a transmission shift sensor telling you that you need to change the fluid in your transmission. Or it could be telling us it's too late and the transmission is bad. Or if your air filter housing box is loose.

Honest-1 Auto Care stores have invested in a computer that can scan and pull the trouble codes from the sensors on your computer from your vehicle called the Genysis. This can tell us the answers to these and many more questions about your car or engine.

If your light does come on while you are driving understand remember this. The general rule is if the car running ok you can drive it in to have it checked as soon as possible.
