A check engine light or unusual engine behaviour can mean anything from a loose gas cap to a serious mechanical issue. Our diagnostic equipment reads fault codes accurately so we can identify the real problem and fix it right the first time.

From routine tune-ups to major engine repairs, Brock Auto Centre handles it all. We explain what we find in plain language before any work begins so you can make an informed decision.

What Does a Check Engine Light Actually Mean?

The check engine light is triggered by your vehicle’s onboard diagnostic system (OBD-II) when a sensor detects something outside normal parameters. It could indicate something minor like a faulty oxygen sensor or something more serious like a misfiring cylinder.

A flashing check engine light (as opposed to a steady one) indicates a more urgent issue and you should reduce speed and have it inspected as soon as possible. We plug into your vehicle’s OBD-II port, read the fault codes, and give you a clear diagnosis.
