Diagnostics is one of the most misunderstood processes in automotive repair. The perception is there is a magical “Diagnostic Machine” we attach to your vehicle and the solution to your problem is produced out of the “Machine”. In reality diagnostics is a procedure to systematically use test equipment and information systems to determine the cause of a vehicle’s ailment.
The testing tools, information systems, and technician knowledge requires a commitment to training and equipment expenditures. Glenwood Auto Service has made and continues to make that commitment.

Check Engine Light
“CHECK ENGINE LIGHT”, “SERVICE ENGINE SOON”, commonly referred to as a malfunction indicator light (MIL) by the manufacturer. These warning lights indicate that an error was logged in the computer system that controls a vehicle system. Severity of the problem is not always obvious to the driver. Errors that illuminate the MIL light can change the operation of the computer system. A fuel efficiency decline, unusual transmission operation, or component damage can be a result of inattention to the MIL light.
