Kenner, LA: what's different here
Kenner sits on the East Bank of Jefferson Parish, between Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport to the north and the Mississippi River to the south. The city has roughly 67,000 residents and postwar ranch homes near Williams Boulevard and Veterans Memorial Boulevard, plus Chateau Estates and Rivertown. Kenner is about 11 miles and roughly 18 minutes by car from New Orleans via the main highway.
Where can I get a free check engine light scan in Kenner?
O'Reilly Auto Parts offers free check engine light code scanning with O'Reilly VeriScan at its Kenner stores. The test gives you a report of the codes and suggested fixes for you to complete the repair. O'Reilly says this free service is available at every store.
What does the scan tell you about your check engine light?
The VeriScan report lists the stored codes and suggested fixes, but it does not perform the repair. A mobile mechanic can use those codes as a starting point for a fuller diagnosis. Ask the pro what extra testing the codes call for before approving work.
Can a mobile mechanic come to you in Kenner?
Yes. NOLA Mechanic is a free referral service that connects Kenner drivers with an independent, insured mobile mechanic. Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work begins.
Do Louisiana mechanics need a license?
Louisiana requires a license to engage in business in the state, even if the business has no place of business there. Operating without the required license is a violation under Louisiana law. For reference, New Orleans charges a $55 annual fee for the Class B Journeyman Mechanical Contractor license.
