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.

October is all about horror movies, but some things on the road are way scarier! Which of these gives you the biggest goosebumps?

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.

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.

Las Lomas turns 75 this Saturday, and WCEF is proud to host the hospitality table at Cars and Coffee with Las Lomas Cars and Coffee⚔️.
Organized by the Las Lomas automotive students and student auto club, this morning brings our community together around great cars, good coffee, and a school we love.
Thank you to btc, Walnut Creek League, whose young men will serve as our volunteer staff, pouring coffee and sharing breakfast with every guest.
Thank you to Trader Joe's for generously providing the food, so every guest can start the morning with something good to eat.

And a special thank you to Frank's Auto Service & Repair for generously donating the coffee. Frank’s is a family owned shop now run by its second generation, carrying on a tradition of honest work and genuine care for every customer who walks through the door. For years, Walnut Creek families have trusted Frank’s to keep their cars safe and running well, and they give back to the community just as generously. It feels fitting that a morning celebrating cars, students, and community is fueled by a local business that has been part of all three.
Come say hello, grab a cup, and celebrate 75 years of Knights with us.
Saturday, October 3�9:00 to 11:00 AM�1460 South Main Street, Walnut Creek
