There's nothing worse than hopping into your car on a chilly October morning, turning the heat k**b to high, and getting hit with... ice-cold air! If your engine is warm but your defroster or heater vents are blowing cold air, you're likely dealing with a stuck heater control valve, an air pocket in your cooling system, or a clogged heater core.

🚩Red Flags to Watch For:

- A sweet, syrup-like smell coming from the vents.
- Damp carpet on the passenger-side floorboard.
- Windshield fogging up instantly when you turn on the defroster.

Don't freeze on your morning commute! Contact us to get your heating system flushed and working again.

A) Hearing a sudden loud POP on the highway at night 🛞💥
B) The gas light turning on when there's not a gas station in sight. ⛽️
C) Stepping on the brake pedal and feeling it sink squishy to the floorboard 🛑🧽
D) Seeing smoke start creeping out from under the hood 💨

Whatever your driving nightmare is, regular preventative maintenance keeps the real horror stories off your daily commute! Turn to our shop for your auto services.

"Great shop. Niles is an honest mechanic. PMW does reliable work and won’t try to upcharge you like some of these bigger euro shops or dealerships. Highly recommended!"

Have you ever heard the old advice that you should only pump gas early in the morning because fuel expands in the heat, giving you "less gas" for your money?

We’ve all heard it, but is it actually true? Consumer Reports put this legendary gas-station myth to the test to see if filling up during the hottest part of the day actually drains your wallet! Read the full verdict in this article.

It's a common myth that you get more gas for your money early in the morning because the temperature is cool. CR’s auto experts put this to the test.

"My husband has his Audi A7 worked on there. Niles the owner has had a shop in the valley for years and is new central oregon. But he fits right in. Good pricing and great work done!! 10 out of 10 would recommend. We took my VW TDI to another shop in redmond and they ripped us off. So great to have found Niles and we will for sure be coming back!"

Fall is officially here! Which classic autumn scent reigns supreme in your book? 👇

A) Fresh Pumpkin Spice Latte ☕🎃
B) Crisp, damp fall leaves 🍁
C) Fresh motor oil & clean shop air 🛢️
D) A bonfire on a cool evening 🪵🔥

Whatever your favorite fall smell is, make sure it ISN'T sweet maple syrup coming from your engine. That's a sign of a coolant leak! Drop by if your car smells anything other than fresh.
