FAQ
Check Engine Light & Engine Diagnostics FAQ
My check engine light came on — can I keep driving?
A steady check engine light means the car's computer found a problem worth checking soon. A flashing light usually means a misfire that can damage the engine and catalytic converter — don't keep driving; get it checked right away. Either way, a scan and proper diagnosis tells you what's really going on. Call (806) 626-9870 and we'll get it diagnosed.
What does it mean if my car hesitates or feels weak when accelerating?
Hesitation can come from fuel delivery, ignition, air intake, sensors, or transmission problems. It can get worse quickly, especially on the highway, so a proper diagnosis is the best next step. Call (806) 626-9870 and we'll get it diagnosed.
How do I know if a repair is urgent or can wait?
Anything affecting brakes, steering, overheating, a flashing check engine light, smoke, or strong burning smells should be checked right away. Other issues may be able to wait — we'll explain your options clearly before any work starts. Call (806) 626-9870 and we'll get it diagnosed.
