Check Engine light is on. San Jose, CA 1999 Honda Accord?

Any good auto shops that will do free engine checks? I see aamco and Maaco but I'm getting mixed reviews. Help would be appreciated.

I live downtown San Jose.

As I mentioned in an earlier question (and you probably know but some answerers do not) only certified smog stations can read the codes in California. I didn't know about Maaco, but I knew about Aamco and Midas. I would trust them to retrieve the codes but not to recommend repairs. Interpreting the actual cause of the codes is tricky. If you can get the codes themselves (like P0171) we can give you more information.

In Wisconsin the Advance Auto and Auto Zone Parts Stores read OBD II codes for free. See if they do that out by you.

Better to get your own OBD2 code reader for half the price of a shop check. Some auto part stores will do the check free. AAMCO will sell you a rebuilt transmission and Maaco will paint the car, but they will not fix your problem.
