Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Check immediate basics: fuel cap tightness and visible fluid leaks. A loose fuel cap can trigger an EVAP code.
• Note any performance changes — rough idle, poor acceleration, or unusual noises — and the light’s behavior (steady vs. flashing).
• Record when it happened and recent events (fuel fill-up, low fuel, service, or new parts).
• Bring your 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class to Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth for a proper scan; warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Basic diagnostic scan: typically 30–60 minutes to read codes and advise next steps.
• Minor repairs (sensor or cap replacement) can often be completed the same day.
