Check Engine Light and Car Maintenance
Is your “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon” light on? If so, you may need to “service your engine soon,” but how can you know for sure what is wrong without taking it to a dealership and getting charged for a diagnostic test. The car still runs fine, so what’s the big deal.

In our area of georgia, I have found that most of the Autozones carry the OBD1 and OBD2 diagnostic computers which can scan for trouble codes. They offer this as a free service to their customers, which can save the $35 to $80 I have seen charged for the same thing.
