Auto-Zone?

02MustangV6e9 · October 19th, 2008, 10:09 PM

A couple weeks ago my Service Engine Soon light came on. I haven't been too alarmed as there has been no problems as far as the engine has been running. One of my friend's mentioned to me that Auto-Zone does free diagnostics checks? Is this true?

Dansby · October 19th, 2008, 10:09 PM

Yes.

GreenFaleen · October 19th, 2008, 10:38 PM

yup and if you ask they will give you a print out detailing the problem and ways to fix it. I guessing yours is a rear 02 sensor code

02MustangV6e9 · October 19th, 2008, 10:45 PM

I'll let you guys know. Yeah a friend of mine keeps saying "I bet its an 02 sensor." Do you need an appt or can you just show up?

00redgt · October 19th, 2008, 10:45 PM

advance auto also do the free test

Fox2102 · October 19th, 2008, 11:38 PM

just show up and ask

Auto Zone doesn't do free tests anymore, something to do with some BS emissions law, and I've called about five in my area and they all told me the same thing. It COULD be only in California though, so it never hurts to ask. Even if you live here, which I see you don't, you should still call because you never know

Auto-Zone DOES do diagnostics checks, free ones. I've been told that I need a new EGR Vacuum Solenoid, and Valve Pressure Sensor... anyone know how big of a job this is? If I can do it on my own? I have the Haines repair guide, but haven't looked yet.

Well when my CEL turned on, I called Auto Zone and they told me the couldn't check it for free anymore, and I called more than one in my area, I called the closest five and received the same response from all of them. Like I said, it could be different in other states.
