Showerthought: A customer in Tulsa last month told me his 'check engine light is just the car's way of saying hello' and refused the diag.
He drove off with a P0304 code, and I'm still wondering how many shops just clear the code and send it back out the door without explaining the actual cylinder misfire risk.

That's a scary way to think about a warning light. Clearing the code without fixing the real problem just kicks the can down the road until something really breaks.

Ugh, exactly. See this everywhere now. People just silencing alarms instead of dealing with the actual issue. It's like putting tape over a smoke detector because the beeping is annoying. Makes a small fix turn into a huge, expensive mess later.
