My check engine light turns on and off

If your check engine light is coming on and turning off again then it could be a emissions code. This means anything from a faulty gas cap to an issue with an oxygen sensor and many things in between. The only way to know what is going on is to make an appointment and we will scan the computer and run a diagnostic test on it to pinpoint your issue. This can be done even if the check engine light has turned itself off again.  Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-791-2886 Happy Adventures, Heather

Travel Plans part 3

For the rest of the year traveling will be a bit weird compared to what we are use to. Hopefully the campgrounds, beaches, lakes, rivers and parks will open up and we will get to enjoy the spring and summer. For those who are going to be out and about you should think about getting your vehicle serviced now for your upcoming trip, nothing like leaving it to the last moment and then being delayed due to other issues. I know that our plans have been altered and we are hopeful to still do a little fishing this summer and maybe we can go camping if it works out. When you're ready give us a call and let us make sure you're ready to go.  Happy Adventures,  Heather

90,000 Service

All vehicles have scheduled maintenance from oil changes and transmission fluid services to tune ups, timing belts and other items. Not all vehicles are on the same schedule and not all vehicles take the same components. We don't give estimates over the phone, it's complicated and it is inaccurate. We ask that you make an appointment and we can get you an accurate estimate of what your vehicle needs for all your service intervals.  Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-791-2886 Happy Adventures,  Heather

I turn my key and nothing happens

The sun is shining and it makes me want to go outside and enjoy it. That moment when you're packed and ready to go and you turn the key and nothing happens - it's not a great feeling. This could be from a number of things including a bad battery or a lack of fuel. If your fuel pump has stopped working then it will cause your car to not start, or crank. This can be frustrating for sure.  Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-791-2886 Happy Adventures,  Heather

My car won't crank

We hope you're all well. We are open and accepting appointments. Give us a call - we will pickup, deliver and sanitize your vehicle for you.  One of the most common reasons that your car will not crank and start is due to a dead battery. Your battery should last 4 to 7 years. This of course depends on the quality of your battery and the climate where you live. If you live in an area with moderate temperatures then you will probably get more life out of your battery versus is you live in an area with very low and high temperatures.  Give us a call and let us take care of you.  Happy Adventures,  Heather

Why does my diesel blow black smoke

Your diesel engine could be blowing black smoke due to unburnt fuel. This could be due to a number of reasons including oil leaks and clogged filters. There is nothing more than a diesel engine loves more than a clean air filter. Your air filter is a simple yet vital component in your vehicle. It filters the air that goes into your engine and keep your engine clean and running smoothly.  Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-791-2886 Happy Adventures,  Heather

Why does my car squeal when turning

We're open and accepting appointments. We hope you're safe and doing well. We are sure you're going stir crazy and can't wait to get out and about again.  If your car is squealing when turning then it could be from a couple of reasons. One would be that your power steering pump is going out, and when that happens your steering may be harder than normal, your car may shake and the pump could squeal when turning due to air getting into the system. I would consider this a safety concern since turning and steering are vital parts of controlling your vehicle.  Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-791-2886 Happy Adventures,  Heather

My transmission is shifting wierd

We're open and accepting appointments. We hope you're all doing well and that you're safe and healthy.  If your transmission is shifting weird the first thing you need to check is your fluid level. If your fluid is low then it can cause shifting issues. This can also happen if it's been overfilled. We would suggest that you make an appointment to have your transmission checked.  We are a full service shop, we will take care of all your vehicles needs so there is no reason to go somewhere else. Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-792-2886 Happy Adventures, Heather
