There’s no need to panic when the “check engine” light comes on in your car, SUV, or truck. The first step is to get your vehicle to Dirk’s Auto Repair in Lincoln, NE, for a complete auto diagnostic. The area’s premier auto repair shop and service provider has the latest equipment to pinpoint the problem and determine how to fix it.

One important way you can help with the assessment is by reviewing information about the vehicle. Here are a few documents the customer should bring to their auto diagnostic appointment:

• Repair/Service Records: If you’ve kept a file of your receipts for repairs, recommended repairs, oil changes and service visits, it will help the technician track what work has or has not been done.

• Auto Insurance: Bring your insurance card and policy to determine if your carrier will provide discounts or other incentives for certain repairs or services.

• Vehicle Manual: While the auto diagnostic is a strong tool to examine wiring and other internal problems, the vehicle’s manual serves as a reliable backup guide on areas involving the transmission, brakes, and electrical services.

• Recall Information: Some manufacturers issue recalls for parts to be repaired at no cost to the vehicle’s owner. If you’ve received these updates, bring them in. You also can check the manufacturer’s website for a list of recalls.
