Common questions
Can you just read the code for free?
Ask us about our current diagnostic options when you call. A code alone usually doesn't identify the failed part, which is why we test before recommending repairs.
My light is flashing — what should I do?
A flashing light can indicate a serious misfire. Reduce driving, avoid heavy acceleration and call us. If the vehicle runs badly, consider towing rather than driving it in.
