When should I replace my shocks and struts?
When is it time to replace my shocks and struts? This is a great question…here at Longs we recommend replacing them every 75,000 miles. I had them replaced on my car not to long ago, and it was amazing, it felt like I was driving a brand new car. You don’t notice that they are wearing out, because it happens slowly over time. Did you know that new shocks/struts reduces your braking distance? They also help in the stability of your vehicle. So if you haven’t had them replaced and your vehicle has over 75,000 miles, now is a great time to have them replaced. Why? Because starting October 1st, it’s Shocktober!! Which means you buy 3 and get one for free! So give us a call, 425-481-1739, and we will get you in as soon as possible, and you will feel what it’s like to drive a new car again!
When should I get an alignment?
When customers want to know “when should I get an alignment”? We ask them these questions: Is your vehicle pulling to the left or right? Do you have uneven tire wear? Or is your steering wheel off center? These are the tell tale signs that your alignment is off and needs to be adjusted. If you are buying new tires, and your old ones wore unevenly, you should always get and alignment so that your new tires will last longer. If you hit a curb hard…probably should get it checked. Tires are an expense, so keeping your car aligned is very important. We just purchased a new alignment rack that makes doing alignments a snap. So if you are having any of the symptoms listed above, give us a call, we will get you in and running straight in no time!!

Can I take my new car to any repair facility?
Can I take my new car to any repair facility? Yes you can. Federal Law prohibits new car dealers from implying or denying warranty service because of routine scheduled maintenance was performed at an independent repair facility. We have customers that buy new vehicles upon occasion, and nine times out of ten they are led to believe that the dealership has to do all the work on their vehicle or they will void their warranty. This just isn’t true. So feel free to bring you new vehicle to use for you scheduled maintenance and any repair that may need to be done. We will be happy to take care of your new prized possession!!
