How to know if your Check Engine light means something big or small.

    Everybody, at one time or another, has more than likely seen the “Check Engine” sign light up on their car’s dashboard.  But what does this mean?  Should I be worried?  Well Joe Thompson, who owns an auto body shop, has written a short but informative article about what to do when your Check Engine light is illiminated 

    You shouldn’t panic because the problem could be something very simple.  Many people know that tightening the gas cap could make the light turn right off.  However, if that is not the problem take Joe’s advice.

    If none of this helps you should take your vehicle to a professional.  It might be beyond your ability, but the problem could still be minor and very fixable.  If you wait or ignore the sign altogether, you run the risk of your car becoming seriously damaged.  Not only that but if you wait and the problem becomes more serious it may not be covered by your car’s warranty were a lesser problem would be.
