Check Engine Light Service in
Columbia, SC

Your vehicle’s check engine light is part of its On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system, designed to detect irregularities in performance, emissions, and engine function. While some causes of an illuminated check engine light—such as a loose fuel cap—are minor, others, like catalytic converter failure or ignition system malfunctions, require immediate attention.
