If your check engine light is on, stop by Shingle Springs Subaru to get it looked at and taken care of by factory-trained Subaru technicians.

Why Do I Need to have the Check Engine Light in my Car Investigated?

It's never a good idea to drive for too long with a check engine warning illuminated. Chances are, there's a minor issue inside your engine that's being exacerbated the longer you go without fixing it. For example, if poor fuel pressure causes your vehicle to engage the check engine light, it could simply be the result of a fuel filter that needs to be replaced - a relatively simple and inexpensive repair! However, drive with a worn out fuel filter too long and particulate and impurities will be allowed into the fuel lines and deep into the engine. This can do severe damage to your engine's internals, which will be much more costly to repair! That's why it makes sense to bring your Subaru to our service center in a timely fashion if the check engine light turns on.
