• At Larry H. Miller Casa Chevrolet, our diagnostics are quick and thorough, often costing less than independent shops while delivering factory-level repairs and genuine parts.
• Repairs covered under warranty must be done at a certified dealership to preserve coverage and OEM warranty benefits.

• If repairs are required, timeline depends on parts and complexity — our team estimates time up front and keeps you informed.
• OEM parts and certified technicians speed accurate repairs and reduce rework, providing immediate and long-term savings.
• We offer service financing to make timely repairs affordable — ask our service advisors for details when you schedule appointment.

We document the required fixes, provide transparent pricing, and explain how a proper repair preserves warranty coverage — repairs covered by warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to retain benefits.

2016 Chevrolet SS Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2016 Chevrolet SS include ignition misfire codes (P0300–P0304), fuel trim and oxygen sensor codes (P0171, P0174, P0130–P0167), catalytic efficiency codes (P0420), and evap system leaks (P0440, P0455).
