The Check Engine Light on your car’s dashboard is the canary in the coal mine but for your car.
It means that something is wrong but it doesn’t tell you what the problem is. A lit-up Check Engine Light could mean anything from the inconvenient — a loose gas cap — to the very serious — a damaged camshaft that could lead to costly and dangerous repairs if you continue to drive. You can find the ten most common issues that the Check Engine Light could mean here.
All this is to say that if your light comes on — and stays on — you should have a mechanic check it out as soon as you can. Hopefully, they will find that it’s something minor, but if not, that check-up could save you a lot of time, money and hassle down the line. And, if you use CarCare To Go with its free time-saving valet pick-up and return, it won’t be any inconvenience at all.
One critical thing to note: if your Check Engine Light is blinking, that’s a sign that you likely have a more dire issue. Find more here about a blinking Check Engine Light and other signs that your issues may be more serious.
If you’re lucky enough to have nothing on your dashboard lit up, you should still use CarCare To Go for all your car needs. Right now, they’re running a crazy special on your first oil change. It’s just $20.23. No catch. Seriously. It even covers synthetic oil.
You’ll wonder why you ever took care of your car any other way. Learn more here.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
