Visitor & Driver Tips
When entering from NE Halsey Street, look for the directional signage to distinguish between customer parking spaces and active service bay queue lanes. NE Halsey experiences elevated traffic volumes during weekday rush hours (7:30 AM to 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM); if turning left back onto Halsey during peak times, utilizing the nearby traffic signal at NE 102nd Avenue can provide a smoother exit. To ensure immediate vehicle service without waiting in standby queues, aim to arrive close to the 8:00 AM morning opening. Standard urban awareness applies: always lock your vehicle, roll up windows completely, and take personal valuables with you when leaving your car unattended.
