Common questions
Is it safe to drive with the check engine light on?
If the light is steady, you can usually drive a short distance to get it checked. If it flashes, or the car runs rough, stop driving and call us.
Is a code reader enough to diagnose the problem?
A code points to a system, not always to the failed part. We confirm the cause before recommending a repair.
Do you diagnose Teslas and EVs?
We service Teslas and other electric vehicles. Call us to discuss your specific issue.
