When some of us see that check engine light come on, we immediately panic. At Uptown Auto Specialist in New Orleans & Jefferson Parish, our auto mechanics would like you to relax and leave the auto repairs to us instead. We have the tools and know-how to figure out what’s causing the check engine light to be on.
Back in the day, the check engine light was a lot simpler. Now that cars have become fully computerized, a check engine light could mean a variety of things. So before you stop the car, dig out the manual in the trunk, or hit the internet, think about it. Sure, that check engine light could mean a loose gas cap, but at Uptown Auto Specialist, our auto repair mechanics are educated in the computer systems that run your vehicle and can pinpoint the exact cause of trouble with much more precision. Sometimes when people in the New Orleans & Jefferson Parish area try to force that check engine light to turn off, they make the problem worse.
If your check engine light is on, please come in to see us. At Uptown Auto Specialist, we have all the diagnostic tools, plus the education, to focus in on the exact cause of your check engine light. Just like when you’re at the doctor’s office and they run a test, the check engine light indicates that we have to run more tests on your car, and that can cost a little extra. We want you to be prepared because that does take time and equipment to diagnose. Our auto repair mechanics receive a lot of training so that you can have the benefit of our education. And we love being students!
