Check Engine Light in Brookfield, WI

Brookfield’s Engine Light Experts -- Silver Lakes Auto & Tire Center

Comprehensive Engine Light Diagnostics & Repairs

The check engine light is one of the most stress-inducing warning signals that your vehicle comes equipped with. It’s not because it informs you that there is a problem or of its severity. No, what leaves drivers frustrated and stressed is due to the lack of clarity it provides. Unless you own a specific tool to read your vehicle’s computer system, you won’t be able to understand what’s wrong with your vehicle. Fortunately for you, that’s where the Silver Lakes Auto & Tire Center can help. Our ASE Certified technicians not only have the diagnostic equipment and service tools available, but they also have the technical expertise to ensure that this pesky warning signal fully disappears. Whether it’s a dead battery or a bad O2 sensor, know we’ll handle any problem that will have caused this warning signal to go off.

What Triggered It?

Although the check engine light is helpful in that it informs you something is wrong, its inability to provide you with the specific problem can be maddening. With that said, there are a few things you can do to get rid of the light or at least determine the problem. Although we recommend that all repairs should be handled by our automotive team, understanding the cause of the light can help with the quality of your auto care experience. Here’s what we recommend!

Loose Gas Cap

Believe it or not, this is a legitimate cause for the dreaded check engine light to go off. When you see the warning signal, make sure you either tighten or replace your gas cap as this could be the cause. Also, give your vehicle some time to recognize the adjustment. You may need to drive a few miles before the computer system recognizes what you’ve done!

OBD II

For any other problem that comes up, the OBD II scanner tool will be the second-best option for determining the problem, outside of visiting our shop! This tool, which can be found at most auto parts stores for a modest sum, will translate the codes sent to the computer system from the sensors found throughout your vehicle. Please keep in mind that although some tools will give you the ability to erase the codes, it does not mean the problem is fixed! You will still need a repair even though your check engine light is no longer illuminated.

Book Your Visit With Us!

Take the guessing game out of the check engine light and visit Silver Lakes Auto & Tire Center in Brookfield, WI. Our ASE Certified technicians have state-of-the-art repair tools and diagnostic equipment at their disposal to provide the auto care your vehicle needs. When you visit our shop, feel confident knowing that we’ll get the job done right. Have questions about our services or want to schedule a visit?

“

I have been going to Silver lake auto for years. They have been the absolute best. When the dealer told me there was nothing wrong with my car I brought it in to silver lake and they actually took the time to look at it and they found that I had shocks and struts that were completely destroyed and in desperate need of new ones. They also sent me photos of everything that in the future may need attention. Seth and Austin we so wonderful to work with.

Brianna Adam

Our service Advisor Adam Swanson went above and beyond to service us in a timely manner and stayed past closing hours on a Friday evening to ensure we were able to pick up our vehicle before the weekend closing! We were also appreciative of the full inspection review and analysis including picture and recommendations. Silver Lake found several service issues we needed to address that was missed by our previous auto repair provider. Glad we made a switch to a much more professional and thoroug... Read More

John Grothe

Always a great experience at Silver Lake! We had some major repairs done last year after our minivan hit the 100K mile mark. Brake squeak came back and they were very honest and straightforward and covered the repairs under warranty. Staff is friendly and repairs are timely and efficient!

Phil Stepanski

The team at Silver Lake Auto is amazing. They evaluated my car and got the repair done efficiently and communicated well throughout the process. I will be using them for all of my auto service moving forward.

Channing Tassone

Wow wow wow! I recently bought a new car and needed an oil change and tire rotation. I looked up shops in New Berlin because I needed a new place to go. I called for a price estimate and they got me in so fast. I dropped my car off that night and by 10 am the next day they called me to tell me it was finished. I talked to Austin and he was so helpful and patient with my questions. I picked up my car and it was even washed! I will be back. Great customer service and they made me feel safe and ... Read More

Gabby Ehlke

Absolute best experience I’ve had for vehicle service. Will gladly take my vehicle here in the future. Staff was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Genuinely felt taken care of. Couldn’t recommend more!

Anthony Reeves

The service was quick, professional, and efficient and my car was repaired and ready for pick up several days earlier than promised. In fact, they repaired my LS 600h Lexus 2008 that even the dealerships it was beyond repair! A chance meeting on a flight back to Milwaukee when the kind technician Thad started a conversation that ended up in the restoration of my classic vehicle. They have my heartfelt thanks and most sincere appreciation for their service. They are to be highly recommended.... Read More

Jerry Jones III MD

I came in for an inspection, to replace a rim, tire, and a transmission flush. Fortunately they found out my serpentine belt was cracked and a serious coolant leak so I didn’t have bigger troubles in the future and I was able to take care of them right away. Professional, reasonably priced, and backed by a warranty; can’t ask for much better service!

Peter Hirschmann

Our Lexus needed some TLC all over. The concierge pick up and return was fantastic! Everything that was needed was thoroughly gone over with me with pictures ( even my tires) Michael Schultz ( Service Director) assisted me from beginning to end~ patiently explaining along the way! My car runs great… and they even returned it with freshly baked cookies!! Highly recommend Silver Lake!!! M O’Brien 🍀

Meegan OBrien

I wish I was able to give Silver Lake Auto 10 stars because the customer care I received was outstanding!!! Over the last few months I have been hearing from mutual friends and business owners how pleased they were with the services and care they had received from Silver Lake Auto, so I decided to try them out. I was beyond impressed with the welcoming service team, detailed communication, the cleanliness and comfort of the waiting area, the added touch of giving my vehicle back to me washed ... Read More
