Uh-oh. You're cruising down the road, when suddenly – blink – there it is: the dreaded check engine light. Before you panic, know that the team at Barsh Auto Service has your back! At our Conroe and New Waverly auto repair shops, we can pinpoint the problem and get you back on the road in no time.

What's the Deal with the Check Engine Light?

The check engine light is your car's way of saying, "Hey, something's not quite right here." It’s simply a red flag, alerting you to potential issues with your vehicle's engine or emission system.

The check engine light can illuminate for a variety of reasons, ranging from minor issues like a loose gas cap to more serious problems like a faulty oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. While the light itself doesn't provide specific details about the problem, it serves as a signal to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified technician.

What Should I Do If My Check Engine Light Comes On?

If your check engine light illuminates, don't panic! While it's essential to address the issue promptly, it's not necessarily cause for immediate concern. Here's what you should know:

  1. Check Your Gas Cap - Sometimes tightening/re-screwing the lid will make the light go away.

  2. Schedule an Inspection - Call our shop for help.

  3. Don't Ignore It - While it may be tempting to let the light slide, the check engine light can lead to more severe problems down the road.
