Washington does not require a periodic safety or emissions inspection for passenger cars. The emissions check program ended January 1, 2020. Tampering with emissions equipment is still illegal. Details are on the Washington State Department of Ecology site. A shop must give a written estimate for repairs over $100 when the customer deals with the shop face to face. The shop needs approval before going more than 10 percent over the estimate, and customers can ask for replaced parts back if they ask before work starts. Read the rule.
It freezes on about 60 nights a year here. Not many, but the first cold snap is when a weak battery shows itself, so test it in the fall.
About 45 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
The average commute in Puyallup is 31 minutes each way, and 75% of workers drive there alone. Long commutes add miles fast, so oil changes and brakes come due sooner than the calendar says.

Some work needs a shop. Transmission swaps, engine rebuilds, alignments and anything that needs a lift go to a garage. Bad weather can push back a driveway job, and you need a safe, legal place to park where the mechanic can work. Many mobile mechanics also run a shop, or will tell you up front when a job needs one.
Get a written estimate that lists parts and labor. Call two or three shops with the same estimate and ask each for a total price. Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the work. Read recent reviews, not just the star score. A shop that explains the problem clearly and shows you the old part is a good sign.
