When your car says check engine it means you need to check your engine. You can go to any mechanics shop and have it looked at alot of mechanics shop will check for free and tell you what the problem is. Whatever the problem may be you need to get it checked out as soon as possible because it could mean something serious. Its a way of your car giving you a warning.
