Light on? Here’s what it means.

Amber means get it looked at soon. Red means stop. Here’s what the common ones are telling you — and how long you have.

  • Book this week

    Check engine

    The engine computer logged a fault. Steady usually means a sensor or emissions issue. If it flashes, the engine is misfiring — slow down and call us.

  • Pull over now

    Oil pressure

    The engine isn't getting oil. Shut it off as soon as it's safe — a few more miles can end the engine. Check the level, then have it towed.

  • Don't drive it

    Brake system

    Low brake fluid or a hydraulic fault, if the parking brake is off. Your stopping distance may already be longer than you think.

  • Come in today

    Battery / charging

    The alternator isn't charging. The car runs on battery alone until it dies — usually within the hour. Skip the A/C and come straight here.

  • Pull over now

    Engine temperature

    The engine is overheating. Pull over, shut it off, and let it cool. Never open a hot radiator cap.

  • Check it today

    Tire pressure

    One or more tires is 25% or more under pressure. Fill them to the number on the door jamb; if it comes back, you likely have a slow leak we can patch.

Not sure which one it is? Text us a photo of your dash and we’ll tell you whether it can wait.

Nothing gets fixed until you say yes.

Here’s how every job goes, from the minute you hand over the keys.

    Book a time or leave the keys in the drop box. Tell us what it's doing — noises, smells, when it started.

  2. 2

    We call with findings

    A technician inspects it and we send photos of what we found, in plain English, the same day.

  3. 3

    You approve the price

    Every line priced before a wrench turns. Say yes to all of it, some of it, or none of it.

  4. 4

    Pick it up

    We text when it's ready. Old parts in the trunk if you want them, and the warranty on the invoice.
