The crew at Miles Automotive (690 Pacific Highway in Talent) will be celebrating seven years in business this year, offering a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty on all repairs.
Owners Ryan and Jennifer Miles were both raised in southern California, but they knew it wasn’t the place they wanted to raise their children. After a brief stint in Tennessee to be closer to family, they decided the West Coast was where they wanted to be.
“We moved to a small town near Phoenix, Arizona, where I worked as an ASE Certified Technician,” Ryan said. “We had been wanting to open our own shop for a long time, but because of the economy, the time wasn’t right. We also wanted a different climate. We’d moved from California so that our children could have a better life, but instead we just moved them to a much hotter version of where we grew up.”
They moved to the Oregon Coast, and it wasn’t what they expected. “It just kept on raining,” Jennifer said, “so we searched for a place in the Rogue Valley where we could open our own shop. In October 2012 we opened Miles Automotive in Talent, and it has worked out really well.”
Ryan has over 25 years professional experience, and is ASE Master Certified for cars and light duty trucks, as well as ASE Certified in Diesel advanced engine performance. Technician Joel Olson is also ASE Master Certified, while both Tom Hanner and Reece Pastere are working toward their certification.
“Our team continues to attend hours of education to stay ahead of today’s advanced vehicles, keeping you and your family safe on the road,” Ryan said. “We have the experience and technology required to service, diagnose and repair your 1996 and newer vehicles to manufacturer specifications.”
At Miles Automotive, they are equipped to use factory fluids when required and maintain your vehicle to get you the best optimum performance your car needs for longevity, fuel economy, and the environment. The shop specializes in computerized diagnostics and automotive electrical work.
Ryan is also certified in steering and suspension, brakes, engine repair and performance, drivetrain, and heating and air conditioning. And he is trained in light and medium duty diesel repair and maintenance. The shop does regular scheduled maintenance on both domestic and import autos.
Miles Automotive is open Monday-Friday 8am to 5pm. The phone number is 541-897-0785 or you can visit them at milesautomotivellc.com, and on Facebook.
