Nothing can be more concerning than driving down the road to find a warning light displayed on the dashboard. More times than not, this type of problem always seems to occur at the wrong time. But then again, is there ever a right time for a car problem? No! When such a problem occurs, aside from the frustration, there is always the concern about being able to drive the car, truck, or SUV safely. It is important to know that when these types of errors are ignored, serious issues with a vehicle's performance may occur, an emission problem may result, or even a complete engine failure. When left unaddressed, even a simple diagnostic warning sign can lead to serious problems that may cost a lot of money to fix. When contacted by someone with such a warning sign, A&R Auto Repair stresses not to drive the vehicle until the exact warning sign is identified correctly, so as to not cause damage or drive a vehicle that is not safe to do so.

The vehicles driving on the roads of the Smithtown area today rely on advanced computerized systems that are designed to continually monitor the statuses of the numerous systems that keep a vehicle operating as it should. When a system begins to malfunction or is not operating as it was intended to, the driver will receive an alert to indicate that service or maintenance is needed. Often times this will happen without providing a clear reason as to why. One perfect example would be the failure of the oxygen sensor, indicating a possible leak in the intake or exhaust system on the vehicle. In such a scenario, the check engine light may appear on the dashboard. For the very reason that so many problems could occur with the engine in a car, truck, or SUV, wide-ranging alerts are employed by computerized systems to maintain simplicity. To pinpoint the exact problem causing the alert, the skilled team of mechanics at our Smithtown auto diagnostic shop will complete a physical inspection and advanced diagnostic tests. Once the problem is identified, our service adviser will provide a detailed description of what is required to get the vehicle back safely on the roads of the Smithtown area.
