For that check engine light to blink while first turning the key simply verifies that the bulb is working. It does not mean the system is failing. See if they can run those tests to see if it passes.

Assuming you pass the emissions test, you should still get the light fixed as it is a reliable indicator of any trouble your vehicle is experiencing.
