Default Check Engine Light

Hey my check engine light came on today out of the blue. I have no idea what caused it. I was wondering if any of you knew a good spot around nova to take it to and get it checked out.

Thanks
Kevin

If the car is running fine, oil level is good, then I'd tighten the gas cap and drive it for a while. Did you just recently get fuel?
