Know the Signs
Is It Time for New Tires?
Don't wait until you're stranded on Basin St. Watch for these warning signs.
01
Low Tread Depth
If a penny inserted into your tread shows Lincoln's head fully, your tires are legally and dangerously worn.
02
Vibration or Pulling
Persistent vibration or a vehicle that pulls to one side can indicate uneven tire wear or balance issues.
03
Cracking or Bulging
Sidewall cracks or bulges are a blowout waiting to happen. Get them inspected immediately.
04
Age Over 6 Years
Even tires with good-looking tread can degrade from age and UV exposure. Replace tires older than 6 years.

How We Handle Your Engine

Warning Signs
Don't Ignore Your Engine
Catching engine problems early saves thousands. Bring your vehicle in if you notice any of these.
⚠
Check Engine Light
The most obvious sign. Don't ignore it — could be anything from a loose gas cap to a misfiring cylinder.
💨
Smoke or Steam
Blue, white, or black exhaust smoke indicates different engine problems — all serious and worth immediate inspection.
🔊
Knocking or Ticking
Low oil, worn bearings, or carbon buildup can cause these sounds. Left too long, it becomes an expensive problem.
⛽
Fuel Economy Drop
If you're stopping at the pump more often, your engine may not be running efficiently. We'll find out why.

Know the Signs
Transmission Trouble Warning Signs
Transmissions give you clues before they fail completely. Don't ignore these.
01
Slipping Gears
Engine revs high but the vehicle doesn't accelerate properly — a classic transmission slip that needs immediate attention.
02
Rough or Delayed Shifts
Jerking, hesitation, or a hard "clunk" when shifting gears means your transmission needs service.
03
Fluid Leaks
Red or pink fluid under your vehicle is transmission fluid — a leak that will lead to expensive damage if not addressed.
04
No Response in Gear
If the vehicle won't move when you put it in Drive or Reverse, the transmission needs professional diagnosis right away.
Our Expertise
Automatic & Manual — We Handle Both
⚙️
Automatic Transmissions
We service all automatic systems including traditional torque converters, CVTs, and dual-clutch automatics found in modern vehicles.
🔧
Manual Transmissions
From clutch pedal feel to full synchro replacement — we love manual gearboxes and have the experience to back it up.
🚙
4WD & Transfer Cases
Living in the Pacific Northwest means 4WD matters. We service transfer cases, differentials, and 4x4 drivetrain components too.
