It’s one of the most common occurrences on the road, but how do you
handle it? If the “check engine” light comes on while you’re out and
about, do you know what to do? Here’s a hint: don’t panic! Here are a
few things to keep in mind:
The first thing you should do is pay attention to the sound and feel of your car.
Is there smoke coming out of the tailpipe? Any odd mechanical rattling?
You should stop and call for help if you notice anything abnormal about
the way your vehicle is running.
If that’s not the case, think about where you were before the light came on. Did you just buy gas? If
so, the “check engine” light might be on to alert you that the gas cap
is loose. Pull over, tighten the cap, and continue driving. If that was
the source of the problem, the light will turn off by itself.
If you’re not fresh from fueling up and everything is still running
normally (no smokey/electrical smells, mechanical noises, etc.) call our Service Department
and make an appointment or schedule a visit with us online. We want to
make sure you’re safe on the road—let us diagnose and repair the problem
for you.
