Service Center Kenosha

You cringe when you see that little, orange engine light illuminate. You shake your head in frustration when you see the tire symbol flash. All that comes to your mind is hundreds of dollars in repairs, and a few days being stuck with an out-of-comission car. But before you work yourself up into a tizzy, stop by the Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac service center in Kenosha. We’ll diagnose and correct the problems in the blink of an eye. Not every light and repair is going to break the bank. Here are some common reasons that your car is telling you to visit us at Palmen Buick GMC Cadillac of Kenosha for a check-up.

Loose Gas Cap:

Yep. This is a common reason for a lit Check Engine light. Simply re-tighten the cap to see if this was the issue. If the symbol persists, that may mean you need to replace the gas cap. It’s a cheap fix that can alleviate the problem.

Failing Oxygen Sensor:

The O2 sensor can begin to fail from not keeping up with car care and repair or by using gasoline with high ethanol content. It can cost close to $300 to replace the defective sensor, but the O2 sensor should be taken care of if it is determined to be the issue.

Failing Catalytic Converter:

This is quite a costly repair, running upwards of $1000+. The catalytic converter turns dangerous compounds such as hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides into non-threatening composites.

Low Tire Pressure:

This is its own symbol, looking like a flat tire. There are a couple reasons that your car may be telling you this: Your tire pressure may actually be too low in one or several tires; One or more of your tires may be going flat; if you switched to winter tires or a spare, they may not have a sensor, triggering the symbol as well. This is a common problem in the wintertime. The cold weather can cause the air in the tire to contract, lowering the PSI.

Don't wait for problems to snowball. Come in and see us. We'll set things right. And from now until May 21st, 2014 print off our coupon and save on a Check Engine Light/ ABS diagnosis.
