Check Engine Light & Diagnostics in Tallmadge, OH
Check engine light just came on? Don’t panic—but don’t ignore it either.
That little orange light could mean anything from a loose gas cap to a major engine issue. The key is not guessing. At Greer’s Auto Repair, we combine advanced diagnostic tools with hands-on know-how to figure out exactly what’s going on—and fix it the right way.
What Triggers the Check Engine Light?
Common culprits include:
- Faulty oxygen or mass airflow sensors
- Loose or missing gas cap
- Ignition coil or spark plug issues
- Catalytic converter problems
- Transmission or fuel system faults
- Emissions system failures
You won’t know which it is until it’s scanned—and even then, those codes don’t tell the whole story. That’s where real-world experience comes in.
