MasterI agree a check engine light does equal an engine replacement. How does the engine run? What was the code? We routinely do free diagnostics including pulling codes for our customers. Let us know whatever you decide and good luck.

TechnicianIf you would like a second opinion you can bring it to our shop and we can look at it at no charge. You didn't provide much information. The check engine light may be on for many reasons but we wouldn't be able to say if this is true unless we were able to look at your vehicle.
