Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton Fuel Saving Tip for Appleton: Check Engine Light

February 26, 2016

Here's a question for Appleton, Wisconsin : How long have you been enjoying the romantic glow of your Check Engine light? 

Hey, it's not there to create ambiance; it's a warning that something's wrong. (And, by the way, Homer Simpson's fix of covering it with tape is not a good idea.)

Many conditions that trigger the Check Engine light can hurt your vehicle. A lot.

If your date's eyes are smoldering in the soft glow of the Check Engine light, try to think of all the gas money you'll save by getting it fixed. Give Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Appleton a call when you are ready.
