Check Engine Light

The initial solid check engine light is your engine’s first warning sign. While it’s not the time to panic, responsible drivers should get their lights checked out as soon as possible. The faster you act, the quicker, easier, and more affordable any repair needs will be. Your check engine light could be triggered by almost anything from a gas cap needing to be tightened to transmission repair or replacement.

If your check engine light starts to flash, this is a different and much more urgent condition compared to a solid check engine light. When the check engine light is flashing, it indicates that there is a “Catalyst Damaging Misfire”. This means that the engine is not hitting on all cylinders and continued driving can potentially damage your catalytic converter which is part of your tailpipe emissions system. Simply put, if your check engine light begins to flash, you should park the vehicle ASAP in a safe place and call for a tow. If you continue to drive the vehicle you will have a high probability of additional damage resulting in higher repair costs.

Atlantic Tire & Service is staffed with skilled technicians who have the knowledge and experience to handle check engine light services for all makes and models. We stay up to date with the latest diagnostic techniques and tools to provide accurate and reliable results.

Fault / Malfunctions Lights

Fault and malfunction lights can indicate a range of potential problems, from minor electrical issues to more complex system malfunctions. Our diagnostic services help pinpoint the exact cause of the warning light, ensuring an effective and targeted repair approach.

Electrical

Our auto electrical services encompass a broad spectrum of repairs and maintenance for various electrical components and systems in your vehicle. Whether you’re experiencing problems with the battery, alternator, starter, wiring, or any other electrical component, our skilled technicians have the expertise to diagnose and resolve the issue efficiently.

Starting & Charging

Battery Testing and Replacement: We perform thorough battery testing to assess its condition and determine if it requires replacement. If your battery is failing or near the end of its lifespan, our technicians will recommend and install a high-quality replacement to ensure reliable starting power.

Alternator Repairs and Replacements: The alternator plays a critical role in generating electrical power and charging the battery while the engine is running. If you’re experiencing warning signs of a faulty alternator, such as a dead battery or dimming lights, our technicians can diagnose and repair or replace the alternator as needed.

Starter Repairs and Replacements: A malfunctioning starter can prevent your vehicle from starting or result in slow cranking. Our technicians will diagnose starter issues and recommend the appropriate repair or replacement to restore reliable starting performance.
