How long does a check engine light service take?

• Warranty or covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and long-term savings.

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

• Use an OBD-II scan to read stored codes—this is the fastest, most reliable first step and part of our complimentary inspection with many services.
• A quick visual inspection of hoses, connections and visible sensors can prevent unnecessary repairs and identify items you can fix immediately.
