Check Engine Light Diagnostics in Jefferson, NC
Peek Under the Hood—Behind CEL Diagnostics
What Your CEL is Telling You
Your check engine light might tell you a very important thing about your vehicle. If it’s solid or flashing will determine how quickly you need to have a repair made. A solid illuminated check engine light on the dash means there’s no need to panic or pull over immediately. It does mean something is wrong, but it is unlikely to mean a catastrophic engine failure. However, a blinking check engine light on the dashboard means it is time to take your vehicle to a mechanic as soon as possible. The ASE-certified mechanics at Blue Ridge Tire & Brake in Jefferson, NC, are ready to help you.
What Does Your Check Engine Light Mean?
If the check engine light is solid or blinking, bring your vehicle to us at Blue Ridge Tire & Brake immediately. We can diagnose and inspect the vehicle to determine what is wrong with it. Your check engine light may be on for several reasons, including a loose or faulty gas cap, worn spark plugs, faulty catalytic converter, or dirty sensors. Blue Ridge Tire & Brake’s diagnostic equipment is available to help our technicians diagnose the problem. We will hook your car to the diagnostic tools to determine the reason behind your check engine light. Whatever the reason, the Blue Ridge Tire & Brake technicians can handle the issue. We’ll be able to fix your car regardless of make and model and cover the repair with a 36-month/36,000-mile warranty. If your CEL illuminates, your car may have trouble with the oxygen sensor, catalytic converter, or another part of your exhaust system. It is pointing toward a problem with the on-board and the computer codes. While you might take the vehicle to an auto supply store to have the code read, knowing the code doesn’t always tell you what’s wrong with the car. You’ll need a qualified mechanic to determine what’s causing the light on your dashboard. Our techs have the equipment to determine the problem with your car and the ability to perform the appropriate repairs.
