Picture this: You’re in the middle of your daily morning routine, trying to rush the kids out of the door in time for school. You get everyone ready and in the car, only for the check engine light to blink at you the moment you turn the key. It’s tempting to just ignore it and hurry on with your day, but you stop to wonder — what does the check engine light mean? Is it really safe to drive, or does it mean an immediate trip to the auto repair shop? Our blog will answer these questions and help you identify when it’s merely a warning or when it’s a red flag.
