For many car owners, you dread the time when your check engine light goes on. If you know your way around under the hood, or feel confident trouble shooting the issue yourself, it might be an easy fix. Others, however, may find the service center at Dean Arbour Ford Lincoln to be a better choice for diagnosing and fixing the issue.
Here are three compelling reasons to see a mechanic for your check engine light.
1. Your car may have a loose or a cracked cap which would make the check engine light illuminate. Therefore you should have your mechanic tightens the cap or check if it’s faulty to avoid further alerts to the problem.
2. Most commonly, the check engine light has to do with low oil levels. Driving without a filled reserve can wreak havoc on your engine, and reduce long-term reliability.
3. A check engine light may be a sign of a mechanical failure of either the catalytic converter, oxygen sensor, or spark plugs. This isn’t the end of the world! From a servicing stand point, fixing these issues are relatively quick. Just schedule an appointment with us.
Although sometimes a check engine light is a false alarm, it’s not worth taking any chances. To get it seen to, contact our Alpena, MI dealership and schedule a service visit.
