Many manufacturers will make the brake pad squeak when they are worn to a specified amount to let you know they need to be changed. We perform free brake inspections to keep you safe on your travels, give us a call at 541-791-2886 to schedule your inspection.  Happy Adventures,  Heather

We wanted you to know we are so thankful for each and everyone of our clients, we wouldn't be here without you and we are open and have appointments available to take care of you.  If your car overheated while it was sitting then you could have an issue with your fan or low coolant. Your electric fan is there to pull air over your engine when sitting or when it starts to get hot. If the fan doesn't come on then it can cause your engine to overheat. This could be due to a faulty fan clutch or perhaps a blown fuse.  Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-791-2886 Happy Adventures,  Heather
