Loose or damaged gas cap

Ignition coil or spark plug failure
-
EVAP system leak
-
Air-fuel ratio imbalance
-
Catalytic converter issues

Diagnostic Service FAQ
1. Is it safe to drive with the Check Engine Light on?
Sometimes, yes — but not always. If the light is flashing, your engine is misfiring and driving can cause severe damage. We recommend booking a diagnostic right away.
2. How much does a Check Engine Light diagnostic cost?
Dale’s Auto Service provides a full professional diagnostic with advanced scan tools. Pricing varies by vehicle, but we always provide transparent estimates before any repair.
3. What if the Check Engine Light comes back after the repair?
Our technicians verify all repairs and road-test the vehicle. If the light returns, we re-check the vehicle and ensure the issue is fully resolved.
4. Can you diagnose all makes and models?
Yes — we specialize in all makes and models, including domestic, import, European, hybrid, and EV.
5. How long does the diagnostic take?
Most diagnostics are completed same day. Complex issues or intermittent faults may require extended testing, but we keep you updated throughout.
Dealer Warranty
All modern vehicles are equipped with an onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II) that constantly monitors key systems—especially the powertrain, which includes the engine and transmission.
This system ensures your vehicle runs efficiently while minimizing emissions. As fuel economy and emissions technology have become more advanced, your vehicle’s electronics now continuously adjust performance based on driving conditions.
If any readings fall outside of the normal range, the check engine light will turn on. That’s your signal to visit Dale’s Auto Service, where we’ll scan the fault codes, provide a clear estimate, and carry out the necessary repairs to get you safely back on the road.
