WHY REDMOND TRUSTS US
There's a common myth that you have to service your car at the dealership to keep your warranty valid. You don't. Federal law protects your right to have scheduled maintenance performed at an independent shop, as long as it's done to manufacturer specifications. Michael's has been doing exactly that for Redmond drivers for 38 years, following the same maintenance schedule your dealer would, using the same quality parts, at a price that doesn't include dealership overhead.

Still have a question?
Our team is happy to help. Call us or book a time and we'll walk you through everything.
Will an independent shop void my factory warranty?
No. Federal law (the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act) protects your right to have scheduled maintenance performed at an independent shop, as long as it's done to manufacturer specification using proper parts. We follow your exact maintenance schedule and document every service.
What's the difference between 30K, 60K, and 90K service?
Each interval builds on the last. 30K covers foundational items like oil, filters, and fluid checks. 60K adds deeper checks like spark plugs and belts. 90K includes everything before it plus high-mileage items like fluid flushes and battery testing. Exact requirements depend on your make and model.
How do I know what my car needs at this mileage?
We pull your vehicle's specific manufacturer maintenance schedule before recommending anything, so you only pay for what's actually due, not a generic package.
Is scheduled maintenance the same as a tune-up?
Not exactly. Scheduled maintenance covers a broader range of manufacturer-required services at set mileage intervals. A tune-up typically refers to a narrower set of services like spark plugs and ignition components. We offer both.
How long does scheduled maintenance take?
It depends on your mileage interval, a 30K service is typically quicker than a 90K service, which involves more components. We'll give you a time estimate before we start.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended to guarantee you're seen promptly, but we do our best to accommodate walk-ins. Call (425) 869-2419 to check availability.
Will you tell me if something isn't due yet?
Yes. We only recommend what your vehicle's actual mileage and manufacturer schedule call for. If something can wait, we'll tell you that clearly.
Stay on Schedule, Without the Dealer Price.
Call, text, or book online, and we'll pull your vehicle's exact maintenance requirements before you even walk in.
