Lightbulb 98 Gs 300, Check Engine Light

My check engine light is on, what could be the cause I know it could be a lot things, but how much will they charge to get a diagnostic at a lexus dealership, or should I have my mechanic do it? Any Ideas

At the Lexus dealership, it would cost approximately 1 hour's worth of labor (for around my area, it would be $93). The service guy would hook up a OBDII-compliant scanning tool under the driver steering column and run it for error code(s) when the engine is started.

You can get a free diagnostic check on the error code at your local Autozone, Advance Auto Parts, and Pep Boys (not sure if PB has such a service).
