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

July 10, 2015



Here's a question for Troy, Michigan auto owners: 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.)
