Car & Engine Diagnostic Testing in Waterbury, Connecticut

How Engine Diagnostics Optimize Vehicle Performance

Routine vehicle maintenance is critical. It helps ensure that your vehicle performs the way it’s supposed to; it keeps you safe, and it extends your vehicle’s lifespan. But how can you tell when your car or truck needs a little extra attention? How can you tell when it needs something above and beyond routine oil changes and tire rotations? Generally speaking, your car will tell you what it needs, usually through the Check Engine light. When this light comes on, it means there’s a problem you need to address ASAP. Bring your vehicle into Meineke #54 in Waterbury, CT, and we’ll help you get to the bottom of things.

Understanding Your Check Engine Light

But what are some of the possible reasons for your engine lights to come on? It could be any range of things. In some cases, the underlying issue is something that’s fairly simple and easy to repair. It may be something like a broken gas cap. In other cases, though, the problem may be something pretty serious—for instance, a malfunction with your transmission.
