Car & Engine Diagnostic Testing in Newark, New Jersey

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. Some maintenance tasks ae fairly straightforward, such as routine tire rotations and oil changes. In other cases, though, there may be maintenance needs that you’re not even aware of. Thankfully, your car will generally let you know what it needs—and one way it does that is through the Check Engine light. If you see this light illuminated in your vehicle, it’s important to take it to Meineke #239 in Newark, NJ right away, where the proper diagnostics can be run.

What Makes Engine Diagnostics So Important?

The Check Engine light is your car’s way of telling you when it needs a little extra TLC—when there’s something the matter with it, something that goes beyond that routine maintenance. While the problem may be fairly minor, it could also be major—and in any case, it’s good to get the issue fixed sooner rather than later. At Meineke #239 in Newark, NJ, we can run the tests required to diagnose the problem and point you toward the necessary repairs.

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 #239 in Newark, NJ whenever that light comes on.

Testing Your Engine

But when you bring your vehicle in for a diagnostic test, our technicians can run a few tests to get you clear, straightforward answers. Usually, the Check Engine light will give a diagnostic code.

Then, we can provide you with the next steps that need to be taken in order to fix the problem and keep your engine running the way it’s supposed to. It all starts when you visit our team at Meineke #239 in Newark, NJ.
