Engine & Diagnostics
A check engine light or unusual engine behaviour can mean anything from a loose gas cap to a serious mechanical issue. Our diagnostic equipment reads fault codes accurately so we can identify the real problem and fix it right the first time.

What Does a Check Engine Light Actually Mean?
The check engine light is triggered by your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II) when a sensor detects something outside normal parameters. It could indicate something minor like a faulty oxygen sensor or something more serious like a misfiring cylinder.
A flashing check engine light (as opposed to a steady one) indicates a more urgent issue and you should reduce speed and have it inspected as soon as possible. We plug into your vehicle’s OBD-II port, read the fault codes, and give you a clear diagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drive with the check engine light on?
A steady light means get it checked soon. A flashing light means reduce your speed and bring it in immediately.
How long does a diagnostic take?
A basic diagnostic scan takes around 30-45 minutes. More complex diagnosis may take longer depending on the issue.
Do you work on all engine types?
Yes — we service gasoline, diesel, and hybrid vehicles across all makes and models.
What is included in a tune-up?
A standard tune-up typically includes spark plug replacement, air filter, fuel filter check, and a general inspection of belts and hoses.
