Tuffy Amherst Fuel Saving Tip for Amherst: Check Engine Light

March 26, 2023

Here's a question for Amherst, Ohio : How long have you been enjoying the romantic glow of your Check Engine light?

If your date's eyes are smoldering in the soft glow of the Check Engine light, try to think of all the gas money you'll save by getting it fixed. Give Tuffy Amherst a call when you are ready.
