I like that approach.

More than likely they would have scanned the car to see why the light was coming on and would have tried to clear the codes. The next time she would have started the car the code would have gone into the pending codes section of the cars computer. What that means is there might be something wrong but the car doesn't recognize it as a code until it trips another 6 or 7 times.

Exactly what I need to know. Would the "check engine" light warn of trouble like the damn engine breaking down? I thought that's exactly what it was for.
Thanks for your input guys. My Mom is not the best at dealing with stuff like this, I just need some ideas and a starting point so I can help.
