There are a number of reasons why your check engine light would come on. Mainly, this light is telling you that there is something wrong with the engine. At Weber Automotive, we have the experience and the technology to pinpoint exactly where the issue is and fix it too.
All vehicles have a check engine light, and it is important to know a few things about how to deal with these lights.
Always have an experienced automotive technician take a look at your vehicle when the check engine light comes on. At Weber Automotive, we have service technicians that can properly diagnose the error. This requires skills, experience, and tools, not just a code scanner.
Resetting your check engine light is not going to solve the problem. All this does is erases the code and important memories of what conditions were present when that light came on. These memories can help your automotive technician solve the issue much more efficiently and accurately.
Most of the time, the check engine light will be solid. However, if the light is flashing, that means that the car cannot control fuel properly, and there is damage being done to the catalytic converter. If you see your check engine light flashing, do not drive your car anymore and get it towed to an automotive shop.
If your check engine light comes on, make sure to bring your car to us at Weber Automotive. We have the best auto team in North Olmsted, Ohio, and can help make sure your car is safe and running right! Contact us today to schedule your appointment.

You are crawling through Cleveland traffic on a July afternoon. The sun hits your windshield, the cabin heats up, and just when you need relief most, your AC turns lukewarm at the red light. Then it cools again once you are moving. Frustrating and all too common. Here is the good news. We diagnose and fix this exact problem every summer at Weber Automotive. I am Bryan Weber, and our team has a simple way to explain what is happening and how to get your cool air back. Why Cold Air Turns Warm at Idle Your air conditioning relies on airflow through the condenser, which sits at the front of your vehicle. While you are moving, natural airflow cools the condenser and helps produce cold air. When you stop, the system depends on an electric cooling fan to keep that air moving. If the fan does not run at idle: Airflow across the condenser drops Pressure in the AC system climbs The vents start blowing warm air In some cases, the engine temperature can also creep up This is one of the biggest reasons AC feels cold while you are driving but warm at a stop. A Quick DIY Check You Can Do Safely If you are comfortable taking a quick look, try this: Park safely, set the parking brake, and pop the hood. Start the engine and turn the AC to max. Use a flashlight to look toward the radiator area. Keep hands and tools clear of moving parts. The electric cooling fan should start running with the AC on. You should see it spin, hear it, and feel airflow. If the fan does not run and yo

If a seller will not let you take a car for an independent inspection, walk away. We have even told shoppers that a free car would be a bad deal, because it needed that much work. When the average new car tops $50,000 and the average used car hovers around $30,000, a smart inspection is not a luxury, it is protection. The Problem: Big Investment, Little Protection Most used cars are sold as is, which means the risk sits squarely on your shoulders. There is often little to no warranty, and cosmetic shine can hide expensive mechanical issues. That is exactly why we offer a thorough pre-purchase inspection, so you know what you are buying, what it needs now, and what it may need soon. At Weber Automotive, we are committed to helping you avoid surprise repairs, negotiate with confidence, and make a purchase you can feel good about. What Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Includes Our used car inspection is built to uncover the truth before you sign: Multi-page, detailed checklist of all major systems Clear documentation with pictures and video when helpful Prioritized findings, what needs attention now and what is coming up Written estimates for any recommended repairs A report you can take back to the dealership or private seller The service is about $210, and in our experience, 98 percent of the time we find more than that amount in needed work. The inspection often pays for itself in negotiation leverage, or by saving you from a money pit. How It Works With Dealerships an
