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

My air conditioner blows hot

We hope you're all doing well. We are open and we are scheduling appointments. We are here for you please let us know if you need anything.  It's that time of year again where you use your heater in the morning and by afternoon you're turning on the air conditioner. If your air conditioner is only blowing hot then it is probably out of refrigerant and it may just need to be recharged, it could also have a leak in the system causing your issue. The only way to know for sure is to have it tested to find out.    Give us a call and let us take care of you. 541-791-2886 Happy Adventures,  Heather

Why is my steering wheel shaking?

Your steering wheel may be shaking due to an issue with your power steering pump. If your power steering pump is low on fluid is can make noise and cause a shaking in your engine that transfers to your steering wheel. If the power steering pump is leaking then it will need to be replaced. If it leaks for an extended period of time then you can loose your power steering and in certain vehicles the ability to steer at all.  Give us a call and let us take care of you.  Happy Adventures,  Heather

Why do I need to have my brake fluid serviced?

Did you know that when your brake fluid gets contaminated with moisture it can boil and make it hard for you to stop. When this happens it can damage your brake calipers and the other hydraulic components of your brake system. When a brake fluid service is performed we remove all the old fluid, put in new fresh fluid and clean out all the old fluid from your hydraulic brake components and make sure it's all topped off.  Give us a call and let us take care of you.

Why do my brakes squeak?

Your brakes could be squeaking due to the type of material the brake pad is composed of, it could also be due to the pad being worn out. If your brake pad lining is thin then it can cause squeaking. 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

Why did my car overheat while sitting

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
