Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Confirm the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover Sport has a securely tightened gas cap—an easy fix that can clear the light and restore fuel economy.
• Scan for other dashboard warnings or changes in performance (reduced power, rough idle, overheating) and avoid heavy driving if present.
• Note recent fuel or maintenance history; recent fill-ups or missed services help narrow causes.
• Bring the vehicle to Park Place Land Rover for a full OBD-II scan—dealer diagnostics identify manufacturer-specific codes other scanners may miss.
• Remember: repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and ensure long-term savings.

How long does a check engine light service take?

• Initial diagnostic scan typically takes 30–90 minutes; we prioritize accuracy with factory-grade tools to pinpoint manufacturer-specific codes.
• Simple fixes like a loose gas cap or sensor swap can often be completed the same day—usually within 1–3 hours.
• Complex repairs (timing, catalytic converter, ignition systems) may require parts ordering and can take a day or more; we provide clear timelines up front.
• Choosing Park Place Land Rover often reduces total downtime and cost—factory-trained technicians, OEM parts, and parts-on-hand speed repairs and deliver better long-term value than many independents.
• For warranty work, certified-dealership completion is required, ensuring repairs are documented and covered when applicable.
