The last thing any driver wants to see is that horrifying check engine light appear on the dashboard of their car. Not only is it scary but every bit mysterious as can be. This very frightful light is designed specifically to alert a driver when there is some type of issue with the proper operation of their vehicle. With that said, the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin wants to take this time to share some insight on just what to do when this mysterious, scary light comes on.
What Does It Mean?
The check engine light can mean a number of things from a serious repair that should be performed immediately to something as simple as a loose gas cap. Whatever the source may be, and right out of the gate, the source is unknown, you want to be sure not to guess at what the issue is and put the safety of your vehicle, yourself and any passengers in jeopardy. Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin, our clients are always our number one priority which is why we want to share this important information with you so you have some awareness as to what your next step should be when that mysterious light suddenly appears.
What To Do
First and foremost, never ever disregard the light when it appears. Many people panic when they see the light go on and their immediate thoughts are about how to figure out what the problem is followed by thoughts of costly vehicle repair bills. If you fail to give attention to the check engine light when it comes on you may find yourself faced with far more serious problems down the road. Further, neglecting this dashboard light can be extremely dangerous and unsafe for both the vehicle and its passengers.
When the light first comes on, we suggest you start by checking out the simple potential sources such as your gas cap. If you have recently pumped gas and the cap is not tightened, this can sometimes trigger the light to go on. Hopefully, this will be the source of your problem and simply tightening the gap will solve the issue at hand.
If after tightening the gas cap the light remains on, then there are a few additional steps you can take. If you happen to own a code and error reader, insert the device into the port and let it identify the error code for you. This would be the ideal and easy way of analyzing and identifying the source of the dashboard light. If, however, you do not own a code reader, then we first want you to understand that a check engine light often times indicates a problem with a specific circuit in your vehicle and not always represents a malfunction of a vehicle component. In order to determine the root source of the dashboard light, we highly recommend you bring your vehicle down to our trusted automotive facility and let our team of experts perform an analysis, assessment and diagnostic testing of your vehicle to determine the cause of the dashboard light.
Our automotive specialists will perform a vehicle inspection and utilize our computer analysis and assessment programs to diagnose your vehicle and identify the problem. We will take every step necessary to identify the exact source of the problem and provide you with the best possible and most affordable fix for the existing problem. Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin, we pride ourselves on our competitive yet affordable prices, our high-quality automotive parts and
services as well as our very attractive turnaround times. We understand full well how important it is for our clients to not be without their vehicles and strive to deliver our superior services in timelines that accommodate our customers’ needs. Our team is steadfast in their commitment to meet the individual needs of all our clients and to ensure the overall safety of their vehicles and passengers.
Bottom Line

Reach out to the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin to get your problem assessed, identified and fixed and your vehicle back out on the road again.

Everybody is always looking for ways to save on both fuel consumption and auto repairs. Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin our team of highly skilled and licensed automotive technicians is steadfast in providing our clients with the highest quality parts and services this side of Tennessee.
We understand full well, especially with our current economy, how important it is to save money on fuel consumption as well as repairs. With that said, there are a number of factors that can influence the rise in gasoline and other automotive. When prices spike, more so than during regular times, drivers of all ages, begin to search for ways to save on gas. The team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin wants to share some tips on how you can save on gasoline during these trying times.
Tips for Gasoline Savings
For starters, whether you are looking for gas saving ideas or are in need of high-quality automotive parts and repairs the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin is happy to provide you with all the guidance and services you need. Whether your check engine light comes on, you are in need of new brake pads, it’s time for an oil change or you just want some insight on how to save money on repairs and gasoline, we are definitely the team for you.
To save money on gasoline the most obvious tip we offer would be to simply drive only when absolutely necessary. You should plan your errands properly so that you can incorporate many into one driving trip. Be sure to always check your tire pressure since your vehicle will have to work harder in order to travel at necessary speeds and ultimately use more gas. Routine inspections of your tires not only will extend their lifespan, but will also present with favorable results with regard to improved gas mileage.
Another simple tip for saving gas is to limit the amount of weight in your vehicle. When you carry excess weight in your car you actually reduce fuel economy. In addition, using the AC system in your vehicle causes an increase in gas consumption. Whenever possible, and especially if you are looking to save gas, you should opt for open windows rather than running the vehicle’s air conditioning system.

Owning a vehicle certainly has its challenges. A damaged or broken muffler, for instance, can be very annoying and harmful. A damaged muffler always presents with a very loud and noticeable noise. If you have noticed a thumping sound or a very loud noise emitting from the rear of your vehicle, chances are that a part within your exhaust system has become damaged, rusted or broken. With that said, the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin stands ready to provide you with the highest quality muffler services this side of the state.
There are different types of mufflers installed on vehicles some of which are equipped with baffles. Baffles help to reduce the noise level of your vehicle’s exhaust system. Baffles can rust, break or become loose, causing a rattling sound in your muffler. Whatever the source of your muffler noise, our team has got you covered.
The Importance of Your Muffler
Your vehicle’s muffler is a very important component of your engine’s overall exhaust system. The muffler itself is located in the middle section or back section of the exhaust system. Its primary purpose is to reduce the noise that is produced by the exhaust system. In addition, your muffler directs the exhaust gases out of the vehicle in a safe fashion. If your muffler is either damaged, rusted or broken, rest assured you will find yourself faced with an annoying loud noise and even find yourself dealing with noise pollution. A damaged muffler can present harmful effects to passengers within the vehicle and should be repaired as soon as possible.
Problems That Result from a Damaged Muffler
A defective or broken muffler can cause a whole lot of problems. To begin with, if your muffler has a hole in it, it can cause dangerous gases, such as carbon dioxide, to leak into your vehicle. When individuals are exposed to carbon monoxide they can suffer from headaches, nausea, lightheadedness and even dizziness.
Further, a defective or damaged muffler presents a noise issue. There are typically community noise ordinances that must be followed and a loud muffler does not adhere to those guidelines or regulations. This can certainly pose a problem for vehicle owners with regard to possible fines that can be ongoing until such time that your muffler is repaired. It is important to know that a neglected muffler problem can, over time, also lead to additional automotive problems. For these reasons the team here at Auto Clinic of Franklin highly recommends you do not neglect your muffler problem, but rather take advantage of our high-quality muffler services.

Finding a mechanic that you can trust can certainly be a bit of a challenge. There are a multitude of options here in Franklin, so how exactly do you go about choosing the best and most trusted Franklin mechanic? You want to be sure your mechanic is not only trustworthy but honest, so make certain to take your time and cover all the bases.
Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin our team of highly skilled and certified auto specialists takes a great deal of pride in being your go to facility for all your automotive needs. Our clients are truly our number one priority which is why we want to take this time to offer you some helpful advice on how to choose the best all round mechanic for all your automotive needs.
Reviews and Testimonials Are Extremely Useful
One of the most practical and easiest ways to identify a reputable automotive facility from one that is entirely untrusting is to read customer testimonials and reviews. Believe it or not, but these simple narratives provide you with a world of important information. When you take time to read reviews and testimonials you are receiving insight from other customers who are every bit the same as you. Be cautious, however, when reading the material since some people can be quite unfair with their personal thoughts and feelings. Be sure to use good judgment when reading the comments so you are able to recognize the true and accurate remarks from those that are exaggerated or even fake.
The Team Truly Matters
Here at Auto Clinic of Franklin we recognize the important role that owners, supervisors and managers play in a business. They are truly the foundation of the business and can either make or break their employees. When looking to select a Franklin mechanic be sure to give attention to the staff and team. If you learn that there is a great deal of employee turnovers, that is usually a good indicator that your service may not the best. Auto shops who tend to keep their employees for long periods of time, usually present with happy customers as well. Keep in mind that the auto shop and mechanic you choose will be providing care and maintenance to your vehicle. With that said, you want to feel comfortable with the team and be able to engage in open communication about questions or concerns you may have. A happy automotive team makes for a satisfied team and ultimately makes for happy and satisfied customers as well.
Do A Little Further Investigating
Once you have narrowed down your search, it’s time to do a wee bit more of investigating. Generate phone calls to those final candidates and ask them about their policies and protocols and their pricing scale. You may want to also inquire about warranties they offer and what their typical turnaround time is for service. Remember, your vehicle is one of the biggest investments you will make and is an investment you need to utilize every day. You want to be sure that you can fully trust your mechanic to provide high-quality parts and services and ensure that your vehicle stays on the road. Asking questions upfront is a good way of getting initial insight into the facility, their reputation and their team. Any trusted mechanic will not mind taking the time to answer questions and discuss your every concern.

Further, on a monthly basis, check your hoses to ensure that they are not brittle or bulging and need replacement. Also, check your belts looking to see if they are glazed or frayed at all. If so, get on down to our facility so we can replace them for you.You should also check your tires on a monthly basis looking for poor treads, uneven wear or low pressure. If you detect any of these problems, it may be time for new tires. Finally, take a quick peek at your air filter monthly ensuring that you can still see light shining through it. If, however, you cannot, then don’t delay. Replace it.
- Quarterly service – First and foremost, oil and most oil filters should be changed about every 3000-4000 miles. Windshield washer fluid, transmission fluid and steering fluid should be inspected every quarter as well to avoid low levels. You should also check your battery cables and terminals quarterly and clean them off if you notice any corrosion has occurred. Finally, every three months check all the lights on your vehicle to ensure that they are all working efficiently and properly.
- Bi-annual service – To avoid severe, long-term damage occurring to your car, it is important to embark on these 6-month service checks. Begin by checking out your shocks for any type of oil leaks or seepage as well as your exhaust system looking out for any loose parts, rust or corrosion. You also want to test your horn, check the health of your windshield wiper blades and check out your spare tire to be sure it is still inflated.
