Car & Engine Diagnostic Testing in Des Plaines, Illinois

Is it Time for Engine Diagnostics?

How do you know when your car is in trouble? When your vehicle engine is in need of some TLC? Often, you don’t—so thankfully, your car will actually tell you. That’s what the Check Engine light is all about. When you see that light illuminated, it’s because your vehicle needs something—something above and beyond the typical oil change/tire rotation maintenance. And the only way to tell exactly what it needs is to have some diagnostic tests run. That’s something our experts can help you with, right here at Meineke #871 in Des Plaines, IL.

Don’t Ignore Your Check Engine Light!

Your Check Engine light is an important way in which your vehicle communicates with you. It only comes on when there’s a real issue—something that’s compromising your engine performance. The trouble is, only a trained expert can determine what that problem is. At Meineke #871 in Des Plaines, IL, we’ll run the diagnostic codes and confirm the underlying problem. We can then advise you on what steps need to be taken to get your engine running as normal. And, we can perform those repairs right here in our service center.
