CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
Check Engine Light On?
The check engine light is a signal from the vehicle’s engine computer that something is wrong. When your check engine light comes on, it’s usually pointing to a serious problem affecting your car or truck’s fuel, ignition, emission systems, or worse.
Many people think that this dashboard light is one of the most intimidating and frustrating warning signs. That’s because the light indicates that one part or multiple systems in your car or truck is not functioning correctly. Keep in mind that there are different factors that can trigger a check engine light. It can be a faulty gas cap, or probably a misfiring engine.
What Does A Flashing Check Engine Light Indicate?
A flashing check engine light means that your vehicle has a serious issue that could cause severe engine damage. Don’t ignore this light, because it could lead to larger costlier problems later, or probably dangerous situations. Head to E1 Auto Care immediately, so we can run a diagnostic to find the cause of the check engine light.
What If The Check Engine Light Is Steady Rather Than Flashing?
If your check engine light is solid or steady, this means there is an issue in your vehicle, but it’s not yet serious. Even so, your car or truck is still releasing an irregular amount of emissions because of a problem. You should still get the engine checked by a mechanic to avoid expensive engine repair costs. Your car or truck can’t talk, but it knows how to communicate to tell you something is wrong. It’s important to examine the vehicle and perform a car diagnostic test to determine the possible causes of a steady or flashing check engine light. Some of the most common problems that can trigger a check engine light include:
- Faulty, missing, or loose gas cap
- Failing oxygen sensor
- Catalytic converter failure
- Spark plug/ignition coil or spark plug wires issues
- Excessive release of air pollutants or consuming too much fuel
- Refrigerant Cross-Contamination
Let E1 Auto Care Inspect Your Check Engine Light
The check engine light provides an idea of what’s wrong with a vehicle. Regardless of whether the light is flashing or glowing, our skilled mechanic will run an engine diagnostic test to find the cause of the check engine light.

Anytime I need any kind of work done on my car or my wife’s car, I always go here. Adam and his team do an absolutely phenomenal job. I don’t even live near by but I always feel like I’m in good hands bringing my car here. They always give the best customer service. Keep me posted about everything. When I need to leave my car there a few days, I get a call everyday just so they can keep me updated on the progress. Even after everything is done and I picked up my car, I get a call later on in the day to make sure I’m satisfied. Like I said, the best customer service and best work. My car always runs like a champ after I pick it up from this shop.
E1 Auto is the most honest, hardworking mechanic shop that I’ve ever been to. Thank you guys for always providing excellent service!

Excellent Service!!! From the first phone call to the completion of work on my car. Chris was very helpful and so were all the guys working. They educated me on things I was unaware of about my vehicle and completed all work neatly, efficiently and for a reasonable price. I have finally found a great mechanic that I trust. Go check them out.

I cannot say enough good things about this shop. I do all my own work and don't trust other shops to touch my car. I had an electrical issue with my Pontiac that caused a no start condition and left me stranded. I brought it here and they spent a lot of time tracking it down and ultimately got it fixed(bad ignition harness). Andres, Ernest, and Chris were very patient with me and spent a lot of the time on the phone running through diagnostics. I can honeslty say I trust these guys and I will be taking my cars back here from now on if I ever have an issue I can't solve.
