Flashing dashboard lights are never a good sign, but as long as you get your car checked out promptly, they don't have to be a sign of bad things to come, either. That's where Dirk's Auto Repair comes in. For years, their team has been helping Lincoln drivers identify potential automotive problems, and avoid the hazards of not addressing these problems in an effective and timely manner. Their auto repair shop handles auto diagnostics, auto electrical services, brake repairs, and much more, and Dirk’s is known for treating their customers with fairness and honesty, no matter how big or small the job may be. 

What are some common “dashboard light” causes? A check engine light is an indication that your vehicle has picked up a potential emissions fault. Such lights can be caused by anything from fouled spark plugs and flawed catalytic converters to failed engine sensors, but an auto repair professional can easily determine exactly what the problem is. 

An oil pressure warning light is far more serious, and if you see one, you should pull over and check your car’s oil levels immediately. Temperature warning lights are also potentially problematic: if one starts flashing, you should turn your engine off ASAP, and let your car cool down for at least 30 minutes. You should also watch out for charging system warning lights, which indicate a waning car battery, and ABS warning lights, which mean that your anti-lock brake system is in trouble. Don’t ignore brake warning lights, which can be an indication of hydraulic problems, either; and if a low tire warning light comes on, attend to the problem promptly, as such signals mean that your tires are more than 25% under-inflated.

By bringing your vehicle into Dirk’s, however, you can make sure that all of the above problems are identified and taken care of, right there on the spot. And that means a clear and open road with no roadblocks ahead. To find out more, call Dirk’s Auto Repair at (402) 466-6010.
