The vehicle owner noticed that the check engine light came on last Thursday, although the car was not driving any differently.
The technician discovered that the Active Grille Shutter B Lower was causing the check engine light to illuminate and the fans to run on high. The team at our Haines City shop removed and replaced the necessary components to access and install the new Active Grille Shutter B Lower. They ensured all required fluids were topped off and performed a retest to verify the repair. A final road test confirmed the issue was resolved.
The check engine light was successfully turned off, and the vehicle's cooling system returned to normal operation.
If your check engine light comes on without noticeable driving issues, it may be related to components like the active grille shutter. Addressing it promptly can prevent further complications and maintain optimal engine performance.

The customer reported that the check engine light came on shortly after purchasing the vehicle and noticed hesitation during acceleration.
The technician found that the crankcase breather hoses and air intake silencer chamber connectors were leaking, and the hose was taped together, which affected the vehicle's performance. The team removed and replaced the faulty crankcase breather hoses and air intake silencer chamber. They ensured all components were properly installed and performed a retest to verify the repair. A final road test confirmed the issue was resolved.
The vehicle's acceleration hesitation was eliminated, and the check engine light was no longer illuminated.
If your vehicle hesitates during acceleration, it might be due to a leaking hose or connector. Addressing these issues early can prevent more costly repairs down the line.

The vehicle owner experienced jerking and pulling after refueling, with erratic RPMs and a check engine light coming on. The car eventually became undriveable and required towing.
The technician found that the purge valve/solenoid in the engine bay was malfunctioning, affecting the fuel evaporation system. The team replaced the faulty purge valve/solenoid and performed a tune-up, including replacing the engine air filter. They also completed a basic inspection of related components and systems to ensure everything was functioning properly.
After the repairs, the vehicle ran smoothly without any jerking or pulling, and the check engine light was no longer illuminated.
A malfunctioning purge valve can cause your car to jerk and trigger the check engine light. If you experience these symptoms, addressing the issue promptly can prevent further damage and improve vehicle performance.
Ms. Cece, Mr. Art, Mr. Jeffrey and the entire Johnny's Automotive family are wonderful people, experienced and exhibit the utmost pride in their work and professionalism. I took my wife's 2017 Lincoln MKC to the one place that I knew would take care of my wife's car. It's her main drive and she's going back and forth from Winter Haven to Tampa almost daily. Johnny's Automotive and team probably saved me thousands of dollar in an unnecessary (for now) turbo repair for what turned out to be a vacuum leak affecting my wife's cars power and check engine status. Full break service has left her car braking smooth. She's now happy and most importantly, reassured, that she'll be safe in her car. You can't put a $$$ on that kind of peace of mind, for both my wife and myself. Thanks Cece, Art, Jeff and team! We'll be back next lil change to do tune-up and leave my wife's car like it was when it rolled off the lot new!

They got me in the next day after my check engine light came on and just from the description knew what was going on (confirmed with the diagnostic). They got the parts within minutes and had me fixed up within an hour and a half. I’m so happy with the service I received, their kindness and the cleanliness of the facility.

Johnny's Automotive was great to work with. My check engine light came on, they got me in, diagnosed the problem and got my car fixed quickly. They were friendly, professional and reasonably priced.

If the light is steady and the car drives normally, yes, get it scheduled rather than parking it. If it's flashing, if the car is running rough, or if a temperature or oil light is on with it, that's the moment to stop driving it. When you're unsure, call the shop and describe what it's doing.
A scan reads the stored number, which is a useful first clue and takes a minute. A diagnosis figures out which of the possible causes behind that number is the real one, using live data, testing, and sometimes a road test. That gap is exactly why people replace parts that weren't broken.
Usually yes, after the car completes its own self checks over a few drive cycles. We clear the codes when the repair is done so it starts fresh, then verify the fault doesn't return. If it comes back, that tells us something too.
It will turn the light off and it also erases the freeze frame data we use to find the cause, so it makes diagnosis harder. The light also comes back once the fault repeats.
We can tell you what system that code covers and what it usually turns out to be, and we're happy to do that. We won't quote a repair on it, because the same code lands on different parts in different cars. The quote comes after we've tested and know which one you have.
