Steps Taken to Fix Your Check Engine Light:

1. We replace the oxygen sensor that monitors unburned oxygen from the exhaust. Ignoring its repair or replacement may lead to a busted catalytic convertor which can be a costly repair, depending on the type of car.

2. Auto Tech Center checks to see if the gas cap is loose, cracked or faulty, which if so, can turn the entire fuel system rancid.

3. Regular maintenance of the catalytic convertors prevents any future failure. If the catalytic convertor does fail, your car will stop converting carbon monoxide into less harmful emissions. In such a situation, bring you car to Auto Tech Center to have it fixed soon to avoid any long term damage.

4. Our check engine light repair also includes replacing the mass airflow sensor. The air filter of sensor should be replaced at least once a year to avoid any airflow sensor failure. Our ASE mechanics will detect and repair the faulty sensor.

5. Spark plugs and wire repair services are also included. When your spark plugs are failing, the plugs misfire. You’ll feel a slight jolt in your car’s acceleration when this happens. Auto Tech Center recommends getting them repaired as soon as you notice they are failing.
