Computer Diagnostic Service · Clear Explanations · Open 7 Days
A check engine light can indicate anything from a loose gas cap to a catalytic converter failure. 7 Days Auto Care in Mulberry reads your OBD-II fault codes and diagnoses the actual cause — explained in plain English. We're open 7 days, 7:30 AM–6 PM.
The check engine light (CEL) connects to your vehicle's OBD-II system, which stores fault codes when a sensor detects a problem. Common causes include:
A steady check engine light means there's a stored fault code. Get it checked soon, but it's not necessarily an emergency. A flashing or blinking check engine light indicates an active engine misfire — unburned fuel is entering the catalytic converter and can damage it within minutes. Pull over safely and call us immediately if your light is flashing.
Getting fault codes is easy — any auto parts store will read them free. But fault codes tell you where the problem is detected, not necessarily what's broken. Our technicians trace the code to the root cause, show you what they found, and explain your options clearly. No jargon. No unnecessary upsell.
Open every day, honest pricing, no appointments needed.

If it's steady and the car drives normally, you can drive carefully for a short time. If it's flashing, or if the car is running rough, misfiring, overheating, or losing power — stop driving and call us at (813) 540-9999.
We charge a diagnostic fee to read codes and trace the root cause. The fee is typically applied toward any repair you authorize. Call for current pricing.
Sometimes — if the condition that triggered it was temporary (like a loose gas cap). But if there's a real fault, it will come back, or the underlying problem will get worse. It's always better to know.
Auto parts store code readers identify the fault area — not the specific failed component. We do a full diagnostic that includes live sensor data, freeze-frame analysis, and component testing to find exactly what needs repair.
Yes. We use professional-grade scan tools compatible with all OBD-II vehicles (1996 and newer) across all makes and models.
