Get Your Engine Light Checked Out

In order to extend the lifespan of your vehicle, and to ensure an optimal performance, it’s vital to keep your vehicle well-maintained.

If you see this light illuminated in your vehicle, it’s important to take it to Meineke #30 in St. Louis, MO right away, where the proper diagnostics can be run.
