Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check basic items immediately: gas cap tightness and visible fluid leaks or loose wiring under the hood.
• If the light is steady and the vehicle drives normally, book a diagnostic at the dealership to log codes and avoid escalating damage.
• If repairs are covered under warranty, those repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage.
• Using Land Rover Sudbury often costs less than independent shops when accounting for accurate diagnostics, genuine parts, and long-term savings from correct repairs.

• Booking with Land Rover Sudbury ensures factory-trained techs and correct parts, producing faster, longer-lasting results and better long-term value than many independents.
