Frequently Asked Questions About Check Engine Lights
Can I still drive with the check engine light on?
It depends. A steady light usually means a minor issue, but a flashing check engine light means a serious problem—stop driving and get service immediately.
How much does it cost to fix a check engine light?
Costs vary depending on the repair. Minor issues like a gas cap are inexpensive, while major engine repairs cost more. We always provide upfront estimates.
Will the light turn off by itself?
If the issue is intermittent, the light may go off temporarily. However, the problem likely still exists, and diagnostics are recommended.
Can a check engine light be a false alarm?
Rarely. Even if your car seems to run fine, the light indicates the system has detected an issue worth investigating.
