Together or Separate? 🔧

Spark plugs and ignition coils work together to keep your engine running smoothly, but does that mean they should always be replaced at the same time?

Not necessarily.

Spark plugs are a routine maintenance item, while ignition coils generally don't have a scheduled replacement interval. However, certain vehicles and conditions can make replacing both at the same time the better choice.

We evaluate each situation and provide options based on each vehicle.

Because excellence in automotive service isn't about replacing more parts. It's about knowing which ones need replacing.

We believe expert automotive service should come with clear guidance.

That means documenting what we find, explaining our recommended actions, helping you understand what needs attention now versus what can wait, and giving you the information you need to make the right decision for your vehicle.

Our job isn’t just to repair cars. It is our responsibility to provide the knowledge and guidance you need to make confident decisions about caring for yours.

That’s what clear guidance means to us.

Buying a used vehicle is exciting, but a test drive and a clean Carfax report only tell you so much.

A pre-purchase inspection can give you a better understanding of the vehicle’s current condition before you make the commitment. We look for existing problems, signs of previous damage or improper repairs, maintenance needs, and items that may require attention in the future.

Our goal isn’t necessarily to talk you out of buying the car. It’s to give you the information you need to make an informed decision. Sometimes that means moving forward with confidence. Sometimes it gives you information you can use to negotiate a better price. And sometimes, walking away from the wrong car is the best way to avoid an expensive headache later.

Considering a used European or Asian vehicle? Schedule a pre-purchase inspection before you buy.

Brake maintenance goes beyond pads and rotors.

Brake fluid is what transfers pressure through the hydraulic system every time you press the brake pedal. Over time, it can absorb moisture and become less effective at doing its job.

Checking brake fluid condition—and flushing it when needed—is one of those maintenance items that can be easy to overlook.

Not sure when yours was last changed? We can inspect the fluid and test the moisture content during your next visit.

This is the kind of trust we work to earn every day.

Helping you make the right decision for your vehicle doesn't mean recommending everything that could be done. It means giving you clear information, explaining your options, and helping you decide what makes sense for the long term.

We're grateful when customers recognize that approach — and even more grateful when it earns their continued trust. Thanks Randall!

Throwback to September 1995.

We found this old issue from our days working with the local Porsche Club of America chapter, featuring a tech session at Northwest Imports focused on Air Conditioning.

Austin heat has always been tough on vehicles, and helping import vehicle owners understand their cars has always been part of who we are. Decades later, we’re still here providing clear guidance, expert service, and long-term care for the vehicles our customers love.

From air-cooled Porsches to today’s European and Asian imports — thank you, Austin, for trusting Northwest Imports through the years.

Have an extended warranty or vehicle service contract? We can help.

If your vehicle needs a repair that may be covered, Northwest Imports can work with many extended warranty and service contract providers to help navigate the claim and repair process.

Bring your contract information with you, and we’ll help determine what may be covered, communicate with the provider, and keep you informed along the way.

Thinking about purchasing one? We’re also happy to look it over with you beforehand and help identify questions you may want to ask before signing.
