Anyone traveling the I-405 through Renton understands traffic congestion. As thousands of commuters make their way to Boeing’s 737 assembly plant, traffic can slow to a crawl. The 405 also connects with I-5 moving north and south through Seattle, and the I-90 heading east to Issaquah and Snoqualmie Pass. The high traffic volume not only frustrates motorists but also adds to the wear and tear on their vehicles.

Repair Services
We have certified professionals to address all makes and models needing the following services.
Routine Maintenance
Automobile manufacturers have recommended maintenance schedules for their cars, trucks, or SUVs. The schedules are based on averages that may not account for rain-soaked streets and hours of stop-and-go traffic. By taking advantage of our free inspections, motorists can ensure that fluid levels are maintained, tires are rotated, and repairs are made to avoid more costly repairs.
We offer same-day oil and filter changes to keep engines running smoothly, even in highly congested traffic. By taking advantage of this service, commuters can protect their engines and extend their car’s life.
Battery Checks and Replacements
While Seattle’s metropolitan area rarely has temperatures low enough to freeze batteries, it does have heavily traveled roadways that can shorten a battery’s usable life. Drivers may use entertainment services while waiting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and computer systems may require more energy to maintain consistent operations as motorists travel on high-speed freeways, hillside streets, and mountain passes. We offer free battery checks and added capacity batteries to ensure drivers do not experience dead-battery silence.
Suspension Checks
How well a car handles depends on its suspension system. Driving over curbs or through potholes stresses a car’s suspension, eventually leading to rough rides and poor handling. Without well-maintained suspension systems, Puget Sound drivers may lack the precise control they need to navigate hillside residential streets, cross floating bridges in adverse weather, or maneuver around curves.
Our experienced mechanics understand the unique driving conditions faced by West Coast drivers. We know how treacherous icy streets can be when driving up and down hills with poor suspension. A quick inspection can give commuters peace of mind as they travel 30 minutes to two hours each day.
Brakes
Traffic congestion, stop-and-go traffic, steep roadways, and rain-soaked streets add to the wear-and-tear on a car’s brakes. Squeaking may be more than wet brakes. It could indicate that pads, shoes, or rotors need to be replaced. A quick brake inspection can determine if your brakes need to be replaced before more costly repairs are required.
Tune-ups, Exhaust, and Radiator Checks
Tune-ups ensure motorists get the most mileage out of each gallon of gas, reducing the cost of long commutes. Well-maintained exhaust systems work in tandem with tuned engines to operate more efficiently, reduce fuel emissions, and help the environment. Even radiator checks can keep engines from overheating and damaging them, requiring costly repairs.
