Is the check engine light on in your car? When it lights up, it is natural to get concerned about what might be wrong. In October, there will be a resource to help you diagnose the problem.
NCTCOG is partnering with local automotive repair facilities in North Texas to conduct a series of Car Care Clinics. An illuminated check engine light means your vehicle will not pass the annual Texas emissions inspection, which is required to get it registered. The free clinics will provide opportunities to speak with certified technicians about problems and how they may be addressed. The issues may cost less than you think to repair. Maybe your gas cap is bad and needs to be replaced.
The clinics are not just for motorists trying to diagnose engine issues.They will also offer free multipoint inspections to anyone who attends.
Regular maintenance helps ensure vehicles run more efficiently, which improves air quality and can save consumers money in the long term. North Texas continues to work toward compliance of the federal government’s ozone standards, and the clinics offer a way for residents to be a part of the effort
