Need a CEL read down near Ontario, CA

Anyone down in the Inland Empire area know of a place where I can at least get it read? I just want to make sure that it is just some stupid emissions related fault and not have to go to the dealer. I didn't realize that there really aren't any "close" dealers down here. Plus I don't know anyone that works there and they want me to leave the car there instead of me having it get checked while I wait (which they would do in Oakland for me).

(agreeing with ohlord?!? what is this world coming to? LOL - j/k)

ohlord's right on the money - code readers are cheap if you source them properly, and pay for themselves many times over. I needed a code read in my 2002 coupe, and a local shop was going to charge $150 just to read it

Went on amazon and got a nice reader (Innova) for a pretty steep discount off of MSRP.

GL with your CEL.
