Frequently Asked Questions
Will reading codes tell you what's wrong?
It's a starting point , codes point to a system, not necessarily a faulty part. Real diagnosis means testing the circuit to confirm the actual cause.
Why is my check engine light flashing?
A flashing light usually indicates a misfire severe enough to damage the catalytic converter. Reduce speed and call us , do not continue driving long distances.
Can a loose gas cap cause a check engine light?
Yes, an evaporative-emission code can be triggered by a loose or failed fuel cap. We confirm with scan-tool testing rather than guessing.
Do you charge for diagnostics?
Initial diagnostic time is a paid service. We will explain the diagnostic charge before testing begins and provide a repair estimate after the cause has been identified.
Can you help with a failed smog test?
Yes. We diagnose emissions-related codes and recommend the repairs required to pass a re-test.
