Great group. Always honest and fair. Excellent work. If something is not right, they will make it right. Customer service is always top notch. These guys are the friendliest bunch I have ever encountered. The go above and beyond the call of duty and you always feel they are taking care of you and your car. I highly recommend them. Always on time, at or under estimate and always, always fun yet professional; the work is OUTSTANDING as well! Had to get my car repaired a couple of months ago. Heard about Steve's from a friend. Great customer service and the mechanics explained everything! I had a lot of work done to the car, but felt very comfortable with them. Would certainly recommend them!! Best service folks in Woodbridge. Top it off with the best mechanics (we love Eron)and you get a great Team. We have been getting our two Nissans there since 2008. I had a flat tire and they fixed it quick and at no cost. Been going there ever since. Yes we have a Nissan dealer just down the street, but Steve beats them hands down. Period. They are quite simply the best. We want to take them to Michigan when we move back there. Great place to take your vehicles. They do a great job with the repair but they treat you like no other place I've ever been. They took me to work when I dropped off the car, picked me up when it was done and I got a nice little bag of treats when I paid for it. One other thing I liked about them is they were realistic about the repairs - even telling me which repairs I could put off since I didn't have the money to do everything they recommended. Highly recommend you use them.
Please wait...

Check Engine Light

Ugh Why is my Check Engine Light coming on? It's a beautiful day, the sun is out you pull out of your driveway and realize that the check engine is on and is not turning off.

Your vehicle's check engine light is controlled by an onboard computer and alerts you when something is wrong. The check engine light does not tell you what is wrong but is created as a signal that the vehicle must be checked.

Reading the computer code generated and conducting additional diagnostics allows a technician to assess what is wrong and how the problem can be fixed. It is not necessary to panic when the light comes on- however make sure that you have your car checked as soon as you are able.

Even a loose gas cap can activate the check engine light. The following are some common reasons that may cause the check engine light to come on:

  • A wet engine
  • Cylinder misfire
  • Faulty Oxygen Sensor
  • Bad catalytic converter
  • Goodyear Tires - Woodbridge, VA

However, there are literally 100s of codes that can cause the check engine light to come on.

In the state of Virginia you will not pass the emissions test with the check engine light on. Aside from that, if you don't notice any visible signs of a problem your car can still be wasting fuel or causing engine damage. Bottom line, when you see that light, take your car in as soon as you are able to. Your car and your wallet will thank you later.
