Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Lincoln Fuel Saving Tip for Lincoln: Check Engine Light

November 18, 2015



Here's a question for Lincoln, Nebraska drivers: How long have you been enjoying the romantic glow of your check engine light?

Hey, it's not there to create ambiance; it's a warning that something's wrong. (And, by the way, Homer Simpson's fix of covering it with tape is not a good idea.)

If your date's eyes are smoldering in the soft glow of the check engine light, try to think of all the gas money you'll save by getting it fixed. Give Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Lincoln a call when you are ready: 402-421-1900
