starter motor of a car

When a vehicle has trouble starting, many people initially blame the starter. What is the starter, and how do you know if yours has called it quits? At Motorworks Northwest, Inc in Mt Vernon, WA, we want to keep you informed and telling you what to look for will prevent further damage when issues arise. The starter is essentially just an electric motor; a gear at the end of that electric motor engages the flywheel, which turns the engine over, allowing it to start. How do you know if yours is failing?

Highly recommended! Customer service was superb and the owners immediately made me feel like I could trust them with my car. Going in I originally thought my brakes needed to be replaced but the owner and technician showed me that my brakes were fine and helped me to understand why they were squeaking instead of trying to take my money and send me off with new brakes when my current ones didn’t need to be replaced. Definitely will be returning for any upkeep I would need for my car. - Dominic A. (5 star review on Google)

Your pickup truck is heavy and hard working, whether it’s a Chevy, Ford, or Dodge. If you add towing to the mix, it’s even heavier and has to work harder. Your brakes are one of the most wear and tear prone systems on your diesel pickup, but at Motorworks Northwest, Inc in Mt Vernon, WA, we can help you keep yours in good shape.

Once your new tires are mounted and balanced, you’ll want to keep them in good shape. To get the most out of your tires, inspect them regularly and keep up with maintenance - the difference between a tire that lasts 100k miles, and one that lasts 10k, mostly comes down to how well it’s been taken care of.

Ever looked at the bottom of your shoes and noticed that one area of the sole is more worn than another? The way you walk causes a wear pattern to occur as you put more weight on certain areas of your feet. If your shoe needed work, you would take it to a cobbler.
