Here are a few great ways to pass the time while we work on your car in Darrington:
Grab a coffee at Moe’s Coffee Shop (1080 Seeman St) for a cozy atmosphere and a quality brew moescoffee.com.
Or head to Bespoke Café (1180 Cascade St) where you can enjoy specialty coffee roasted from Giddy Sloth beans—and even browse mountain-bike gear while you sip bespokewa.com.
Stretch your legs at Old School Park (1026 Alvord St), perfect for a picnic under the gazebo, a ride on the pump track, or a stroll with views of Whitehorse Mountain Town of Darrington.
Sample local brews at River Time Brewing—just a few blocks away—where you can relax with a pint and grab a slice of pizza if you’re hungry Tripadvisor.
Your check engine light can come on for many reasons. Here are the most common:
Loose or damaged gas cap: If the cap isn’t tight, fuel vapors can leak and trigger the light.
Faulty oxygen (O₂) sensor: This measures exhaust gases—when it’s bad, your engine can run rich or lean.
Failing catalytic converter: If it’s clogged or damaged, emissions rise and the light turns on.
Bad mass airflow (MAF) sensor: This tells the engine how much air to use—when it fails, performance and fuel economy suffer.
Worn spark plugs or ignition coils: Misfires and rough idling will light up your dash.
Vacuum leaks: A cracked hose lets extra air in and upsets the air-fuel mix.
Transmission issues: Some transmission faults will also trigger the check engine light.
We charge an hourly of $140, plus parts at cost and any applicable fees. Here’s how it works:
Labor – We look up the repair’s standard hours in our guideline book, then multiply by our shop rate.
Parts – You pay what we pay (plus a small, disclosed markup), so you know you’re getting fair market pricing.
Fees & Taxes – Any environmental or disposal fees, plus sales tax, are listed separately.
Up-Front Quote – We’ll email or print you a detailed estimate showing labor, parts, and fees—and we never start work until you’ve reviewed and approved it.
That way you get a clear, no-surprises price every time.
