When your check engine light goes on, it can be an indication of anything from a loose gas cap to a problem with your engine. While in many cases the check engine light can be a real simple, low-cost repair, there are times when the problem can be more serious and may cause costly damage if ignored. Similarly, strange sounds, odd smells, driveability issues, poor braking, and rough rides are all symptoms that should be inspected as soon as possible by a qualified professional to keep your car running properly and for as long as possible.
