If your check engine light comes on, you should take your car to a mechanic as soon as possible to get it diagnosed. If it is a steady light usually means needs to be addressed soon. But, if the light is flashing, pull over safely and get assistance immediately as it could indicate a serious issue requiring immediate attention.
Today’s vehicles are smart, and the computer can tell a technician exactly what the issue is—simplifying the repair process. A mechanic can use a special diagnostic tool to read the trouble code which will help pinpoint the source of the problem.
While both an auto parts store and a certified mechanic can read check engine light codes, a certified mechanic with expert knowledge offers a more comprehensive and accurate diagnosis, often with more specialized tools and experience. Whereas auto parts store service is limited to code reading and basic suggestions with limited expertise.
