When your dashboard flashes that dreaded Check Engine light, it’s not something to ignore. At Frontier Auto & RV Center, we specialize in full-system Diagnostics to pinpoint the problem fast and recommend the right repair. Our skilled Mechanics use advanced tools and hands-on expertise at our trusted Auto Repair Shop in Anchorage, AK to keep you confidently on the road.
The Check Engine light can signal anything from a loose gas cap to serious engine failure. Ignoring it can lead to poor performance, breakdowns, or expensive damage. At Frontier Auto & RV Center, our experienced Mechanics take the guesswork out of diagnostics and give you the confidence to make informed decisions.
That warning light is just the start — here are key indicators your vehicle needs professional Diagnostics right away:
Even if your car seems to run fine, the light means something isn’t right under the hood.
Engine problems can cause poor fuel economy and higher gas costs.
Your engine may misfire, stall, or shake at idle — all signs of internal trouble.
Slow or inconsistent starts could be linked to sensor or ignition issues.
Thick, colored, or excessive smoke is a sign of combustion or sensor failures.
If your car feels sluggish or struggles to accelerate, diagnostic testing is essential.
We offer complete Diagnostics to get to the root of the problem quickly and accurately:
We use state-of-the-art diagnostic scanners to read error codes and translate what they mean.
We test oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors, and other components for accuracy and response.
Checks for issues like low fuel pressure, dirty injectors, or pump problems that trigger the Check Engine light.
Includes coils, plugs, and wires — all critical to proper engine function and performance.
We identify problems in the EVAP system, catalytic converter, and other emission components.
We combine scanner data with hands-on inspection to build a clear, honest plan for repair.
Stay calm and schedule diagnostics right away. If the light is flashing, reduce driving and seek immediate service.
If the light is steady and the car drives normally, it may be safe short-term — but diagnosis should be a top priority to prevent damage.
Most diagnostics take 1 to 2 hours depending on the issue. We’ll provide updates throughout the process.
