check engine light came on randomly

This morning I went to starbucks to get coffee for my sister and myself. The car was fine up until I was waiting in the drive-thru of starbucks. As I was waiting the check engine light all of a sudden came on. As you all probably know already I damaged the front end of my car back in January 2013 because of my stupidity so it could be related to that. My car is running fine, I even made a trip to my work then to the dealer (a total of 32 miles) with the check engine light and it was fine. I checked under the car and I had no leaks so it can't be oil leak. I am gonna be honest, I am not mechanically inclined to my MINI but I still love my MINI. The dealer told me today that even if I leave my car with them, they won't be able to diagnose it till tomorrow morning since they were supposedly "full". I have work later on at 5 so luckily my sister can give me a ride. Also, I am not old enough for a loaner car and my parents are out of town so they can't get me a loaner even if they wanted to. This just worries me because this is the first time it happened and I only have a 16992 miles on the car!
