What Does Your Check Engine Light Do?

If your check engine light is on in Brookfield, Oconomowoc, North Lake, New Berlin, Lisbon, Pewaukee, Waukesha, Elmbrook, Sussex, Delafield, or any of Waukesha Counties, Wisconsin come to Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers for a diagnostic test.

This ultimately saves our customers precious time and money. Call or stop by any of our locations and see you’re your new auto repair shop should be Silver Lake.

Common Check Engine Light Causes

Ignoring your check engine light will only lead to bigger and more expensive problems. So, if your warning light turns on out of the blue don’t wait to have it checked out. Early detection of problems is crucial to avoid permanent damage to your engine. Catching the warning signal is just the first step. Diagnosis and reading codes properly is the next step and should be left to professionals. Below I have listed some of the main culprits of an illuminated check engine light.

  1. Oxygen Sensor: The O2 sensor regulates the amount of oxygen the exhaust releases and gauges and controls the fuel mixture. Over time and normal wear and tear the sensor will accumulate ash and other particles that will not only reduce fuel efficiency but cause an increase in emissions as well.
  2. Catalytic Converter: The Catalytic converter reduces exhaust by transforming dangerous gases and carbon monoxide into more safe compounds. It is rare for it to fail but if it does, you will notice a decrease in fuel efficiency and acceleration.
  3. Mass Airflow Sensor: The mass airflow sensor regulates the amount of fuel that enters the engine compared to the amount of air coming into the engine.
  4. Spark Plugs: Sparkplugs are like the pulse of your vehicle they provide the juice or electricity need to start and run your vehicle. Over time they can and will fail and or wear out due to normal wear and tear. Depending on your make and model this can be an easy or a time-consuming fix.

The next time a dashboard warning light comes on bring your car to Silver Lake. Our specialists are available and happy to answer any questions you may have about your trouble codes or repairs needed. Our customers are never left in the dark about their vehicle and we take the time to explain all processes so you understand what is going on with your car and what you can do to avoid future problems.

History of Silver Lake Auto Center

Hear from our Customers

“

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

Rachel Kitzan

Had my front wheel bearings replaced and a few other things. This was my first visit ever to Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers. The service and communications were the best. Free loaner car while mine was being repaired. I am so happy with the work done. The car I started to dislike is now fixed and wonderful! I know that I have found an auto repair center that I will be returning to.

JoAnn Walldren

Excellent experience. The waiting area is clean. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. My car was completed in a timely manor. And, the communication was great. I will definitely use them again.

Gogin Family

Silver Lake Auto is close to my work and I knew my boss had used them often. I had air continuously leaking from a tire and suspected I had a nail or puncture. They were able to get me in the same day and make the repair. I got a free car wash and vacuum out or the small and affordable fix. All the men were nice, it was taken care of very quickly, and I was impressed with the overall thoroughness they provided, including photos and updates on other parts of the car so I have the records. I ex... Read More

Rebecca Margraf

Reliable and honest. These guys are your old school auto shop, right to the point and honest about everything, with great estimates. Shout out to Seth Kline for helping graciously with setting an appointment around a busy holiday, and with getting work done around a busy schedule. 10/10

Ross Gearhart

In-N-Out no problems only thing was kind of weird. Was a bird flying in the store other than that good service. Hello to me when I came in and have a great day when I left out.

Me Moe

As always, everyone there did a great job taking care of my vehicle. Got a new set of Blizzak's for the car my wife drives in the winter. Great program for storing our summer tires too!

Pat S

Both mine and my husband’s car were in need of repair and we had a great experience with Silver Lake! Seth was our advisor and was very honest about the whole process and kept us informed. He even went out of his way to pick us up in order for us not to make multiple trips to pick up our cars. We were very happy with how quick they got us in and our cars fixed. Thank you so much!

Deanna Piontek

Ben, the sales rep, was super friendly every time we spoke. The car was ready when they said it would be and they remained open during a snow storm to take care of their customers (including me). Would definitely return when I need tire service!

Yael Margretz

I had a great experience at Silver Lake. The employees were very responsive and quick to help. I will be returning for any further car needs! They were able to complete the repair quickly which was greatly appreciated!
