Car & Engine Diagnostic Testing in Stafford, Virginia

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 #1288 in Stafford, VA.

Addressing Your Check Engine Light

The Check Engine light will only come on when there is a serious issue with the engine—something that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. But the Check Engine light won’t spell out for you what’s wrong; it will simply offer a diagnostic code, which requires a trained eye to decipher. That’s why it’s urgent that you bring your vehicle in to Meineke #1288 in Stafford, VA. Our trained technicians know how to tell what’s causing your Check Engine display, and we can let you know what steps need to be taken to address the underlying problem.

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. The only way to know for sure what’s going on with your car is to have that Check Engine light interpreted by a trained diagnostician. That’s a service we can offer here at Meineke #1288 in Stafford, VA.
