Check engine light diagnosis in Detroit.

A check engine light can mean anything from a loose gas cap to a failing sensor or a misfire. A mechanic reads the codes, at a shop near you or where the car is parked, and tells you what's actually wrong and what it costs to fix before any work starts.

Signs you need check engine light diagnosis

  • The light is on and steady

    Something needs attention soon. Get it checked before it gets worse.

  • The light is flashing

    Usually a misfire. Pull over when it is safe and stop driving if you can.

  • Worse gas mileage

    A bad oxygen sensor or misfire often shows up at the pump first.

  • Rough idle or hesitation

    Shaking at a stoplight or stumbling when you press the gas.

  • Failed emissions test

    The stored codes point to what is causing it.

What we can fix

  • Reading and explaining trouble codes

  • Oxygen sensors and mass airflow sensors

  • Spark plugs, ignition coils, and misfires

  • Catalytic converter and EVAP leaks

  • Gas cap and fuel system checks
