I'm from Montana and my work brought me to Spokane Valley. One evening I noticed a nasty rotational growl coming from the front-end of my Silverado. Having been an auto technician and then service advisor in my younger years, I recognized I was nearing a catastrophic failure in my right front wheel bearing. Most shops are a week behind or more due to the industry technician shortage so I was preparing to have to leave the truck and rent a car to get home. Where I live, I have most of my work done at the dealership but found very mixed internet reviews on the one in Spokane Valley. Looking further, I found many positive reviews about Ray & Roy's and noted they're a second-generation shop so decided to call first thing at 7 am the next morning. When hearing my situation, Manager Shawn moved their busy schedule around and invited me to come at once. Fearing I may not make it across the Valley, he had two good towing companies a phone call away if needed. Fortunately, I was able to limp into the shop., where Shawn offered coffee, gave me their Wi-Fi password, and turned the heat up in the waiting area. Their technician quickly confirmed the problem was a wheel bearing failure and Shawn reviewed my options for either an American or Chinese-built hub assembly. I was back on the road in a couple of hours and at a fair price! I heartily recommend this business!

Failed engine mounts are an irritating issue to live with causing your car or truck to vibrate and you don't know why. At Ray & Roy's Repair, Inc. in Spokane, WA, we can help, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive and it is an easy issue to detect on a test drive.

There are a few indicators your engine mounts need to be replaced. For one, you can do a visual inspection, if they’re accessible enough - if they looked cracked, smashed, or dry-rotted, it’s probably time for new ones. If the engine visibly shakes while it’s running, engine mounts are also likely the culprit.
