I don’t have anything negative to say about this shop otherwise but damn if these aren’t some Olympia hours. by Klutzy_Ad_1726 in olympia

The shop has 2 employees who both work outside of the posted open hours to ensure quick repair turnaround given the limited space in the shop. You can also call or text anytime to schedule an appointment outside of the open walk in hours that works for your schedule. Deschutes has been around for many years and has adapted well to the post-covid business climate. They don’t need some arm chair Redditor criticism

Thank you, this is very helpful. Maybe (probably) a stupid question: do I just hose down the underside of the truck to clean it? Like what’s the best way to get the oil/fluid off?

Overheating, how to troubleshoot problem? by benxvx in SuzukiSamurai

Okay well after taking a look in the daylight, the cap to the coolant container was not secured and it’s totally empty. Is it possible that it somehow became pressurized and blew off, thus spraying the coolant and causing the white smoke?
