Our efficient scheduling and diagnostic processes ensure that your trip inland delivers maximum value for your time and travel.

Coastal Vehicle Knowledge

Our team understands the unique challenges faced by vehicles in Florence's coastal environment.

We provide specialized maintenance recommendations for coastal vehicles, helping to extend their lifespan despite these challenging conditions.

Local Expertise and Convenience 

   

Our team recognizes the specific needs of coastal residents making the drive to Springfield. Located at 720 35th St Suite A in Springfield, our shop is directly accessible from Highway 126, the same route Florence residents use for shopping and medical appointments in the Eugene-Springfield area.


Many Florence customers combine their service appointments with shopping trips, medical visits, or family gatherings in the Eugene-Springfield area, making efficient use of their inland travel. Our location near Gateway Mall provides convenient shopping options while you wait for shorter services, and we're happy to accommodate early drop-offs or late pickups to align with your travel schedule.


We're particularly mindful of scheduling for our coastal customers. We prioritize same-day service whenever possible for Florence residents, understanding that you need to complete your service and return home without requiring overnight stays.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is it worth making the drive from Florence for your services?

    For specialized repairs, European vehicles, diesel service, and comprehensive maintenance, many of our Florence customers find the drive well worth it. While basic services might be available locally, our expertise with complex systems and specialized vehicles often saves coastal residents from even longer trips to Portland or other major service centers.

  • How should I plan my visit from Florence?

    We recommend planning a full day in the Eugene-Springfield area, combining your service appointment with shopping, medical appointments, or other errands. Many customers schedule morning drop-offs with afternoon pickups, giving us time to complete their service while they handle other business in the area. For more extensive repairs, we're happy to coordinate with your overnight stays in the valley.

  • Do you understand the unique needs of vehicles in coastal environments?

    Absolutely. We service many vehicles from coastal communities and understand the accelerated wear that salt air and humidity can cause. Our inspections pay special attention to corrosion-prone areas, electrical systems affected by moisture, and undercarriage components exposed to sand and salt. Our maintenance recommendations include specific protections for vehicles returning to coastal environments.

  • Can you help prepare my vehicle for the coastal-to-valley drive?

    Yes! We understand the challenging terrain between Florence and the valley, including the Coast Range mountains. We offer specific pre-trip inspections focused on brake systems, cooling systems, and tire condition to ensure your vehicle is ready for the elevation changes and curves of Highway 126. This service is particularly valuable before winter travel through the mountain passes.
