Why You Shouldn’t Ignore That Check Engine Light

That little orange light might not seem urgent, but ignoring it can cost you. The check engine light is your car’s way of telling you something’s wrong — and it could range from a loose gas cap to a serious engine issue.

Modern vehicles have complex computer systems that detect problems before you even notice them. At Scott’s Tire & Auto, we use advanced diagnostic tools to read the error codes and pinpoint the issue. Sometimes it’s minor. Sometimes it’s a sign that immediate repairs are needed. Either way, it’s always better to catch it early and avoid a breakdown. If your check engine light is on, swing by the shop and we’ll take a look.
