Check Engine Light

Car repairs are getting more and more expensive. That is why regular preventative maintenance is more vital than ever in the quest to keep your dollars in your wallet and out of the mechanics pocket. A helpful tool in a vehicle owner’s bag is the check engine light. Equally annoying and helpful, the check engine light serves as a warning that something in your vehicle needs help. Even though tracking down the root cause of a check engine light can easily turn into a grand adventure, ignoring the check engine light can be costly.

 

CarMD recently listed the most common “check engine light” repairs for 2013. According to the list, here’s one repair that New England Jiffy Lube can help you with:

Inspect Battery and Charging System and Repair/Replace as Necessary

Problems with the battery and charging system accounted for 2.54% of all check engine light repairs. As a general rule of thumb, your vehicle’s battery should be replaced every 3 years. Extreme hot and cold weather can decrease that 3 year lifespan.

New England Jiffy Lube is here to help. Our certified technicians will inspect your battery as part of the Jiffy Lube Signature Service Oil Change and offer Battery Maintenance Services to inspect, diagnose and fix/replace your battery and charging system as needed.
