If the cause is a minor item—such as a loose fuel cap or a transient sensor fault—we will correct the issue and clear the code, then verify the system remains stable during a short test drive. If we find a component requiring replacement, we’ll present a clear repair plan that uses OEM parts and factory-recommended procedures to ensure proper function and preserve warranty coverage.

A flashing check engine light on a 2020 FIAT 124 Spider signals an active misfire or another condition that risks damaging the catalytic converter and other vital components.

Taking fast action reduces the chance of cascade failures that escalate cost and downtime; it also maximizes the value of any warranty and service agreements. We also offer service financing to make urgent repairs manageable, and you can review available service specials before your visit.
