Our mechanics will diagnose the problem and determine what your engine needs. It could be anything from a minor repair or a quick parts replacement, to something that needs immediate attention so your car doesn’t break down at the most inconvenient time. Metric Motors will check the error code using our reader for a speedy diagnosis.
A check engine light is your vehicle’s way of letting you know that there is an issue with one of its components. Continuing to drive your vehicle while this light remains illuminated is a recipe for failure. That’s because when any potential problem is left unchecked, it will grow into a bigger problem and eventually fail. When one system within your car is not working properly, it can have an adverse effect on other vehicle components. As with most mechanical systems, when one component has an issue, it throws off the entire system.
Diagnosing the problem when your check engine light comes on is usually a step-by-step process. Just bring your car into our auto repair shop in Loveland and one of our technicians will plug in our check engine light code reader. With this code, we can look up the issue that your vehicle is signaling. From there, we can inform you of the next step, and help resolve the issue quickly and painlessly!
Ignoring your check engine light can mean costly repairs, rather than a quick fix. Many times a check engine light is a minor repair or quick parts replacement. Beyond system failures, a check engine light may have the following negative effects on your vehicle.
When a system is not working properly, the motor may begin running rough. This adds fatigue to your motor and increases your chance for a mechanical or electronic failure.
When your engine isn’t running at its best, your fuel mileage decreases. Fixing the issue can save you money by improving your mileage and avoiding future repair bills.
Imagine trying to start a race with your shoe still off. You will inevitably be slowed down. The same is true with your vehicle. When one component isn’t working properly, your vehicle will have a more difficult time starting. This can greatly shorten the life of your starter and other essential components.
