Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Initial scan and code read: 20–40 minutes using OEM-grade scanners for a precise diagnosis.
• Typical repair windows vary: simple fixes (gas cap, sensor) often completed the same day; complex repairs (catalytic converter, internal engine work) may require one to several days.
• Our factory-trained technicians prioritize accuracy to reduce repeat visits, often saving you time versus independent shops.
• We provide a clear time estimate before work begins and offer quick follow-up service; warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check the gas cap: a loose or damaged cap is a common cause and can be corrected immediately.
• Note symptoms: reduced power, rough idle, or fuel smell helps prioritize severity for the technician.
• Scan for codes: an OBD-II scan identifies stored trouble codes — we perform this quickly and document results.
• If the light is flashing or drivability is affected, avoid extended driving and schedule immediate service with our dealership to prevent further damage.
