Bring your car into Meineke #814 in Ellicott City, MD and we’ll walk you through the next steps.

The trouble is, only a trained expert can determine what that problem is. At Meineke #814 in Ellicott City, MD, 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.

Why is the Check Engine Light On?

The Check Engine light could denote a wide range of issues. Sometimes, it’s something simple; it may be that your fuel cap is cracked, an easy problem to fix. In other cases, though, the Check Engine light denotes something far more serious—potentially a problem with your transmission, or with the electrical system. You don’t want to leave these problems unaddressed for too long, as they will typically worsen with time. That’s why it’s so important to make an appointment at Meineke #814 in Ellicott City, MD whenever that light comes on.
