This is my second time using Joe’s. The first was a simple fix. This time was my power steering pump. They got me in quickly, reasonably priced, and stuck to their quote!! I highly recommend the team at Joe’s Automotive.Service: Steering & suspension repair

Performed a pre purchase inspection, the service was incredible and thorough. The coordination with the dealership and payment process were extremely smooth. Main point of contact was Izzy, she was extremely nice and helpful. Highly recommend for any inspection services.Service: Vehicle Inspection

My sunroof drain was super clogged, and I dropped my car off late Thursday for the issue. Joes Automotive took care of that issue promptly and got my vehicle back to me the next day early in the morning. They do great work, are honest, and one of the better priced mechanics in Bellingham. Joes has taken care of me every time I needed them and I truly recommend you consider them if you need auto help/repair.Service: Auto water leak repair

DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE.Catastrophic engine, failure or hole in oil pan just do better Joe's auto.I don't usually write reviews, but I had to take the time out to write this. The owner and general manager are terrible business owners. I requested for them to change the fuel pump on my car, which I had already had the diagnostic done for. I just needed them to hook it up to their machine and get the code. Long story short, they called me and told me I had catastrophic engine failure and needed a new engine how I had engine failure when the car wouldn't even turn over I don't understand. when come to find out the tow truck driver actually nicked my car and there's a hole in the oil pan. Catastrophic engine, failure and hole in oil pan are very different. horrible customer service, horrible business ownership, and really bad general manager. I wouldn't even take my worst enemies car here. This place is why no one trusts mechanics.

Service was great and staff was really nice. My only complaint is they got greasy dirt on the interior of my vehicle by the door which was difficult to get out. Overall I was pleased with the service and the prices were reasonable.Services: Battery

Joe's has the best mechanics and most friendly and knowledgable manager, Izzy. They quickly diagnose, guarantee their work and treat you with courtesy and respect. I've had my 2006 Honda Civic serviced here and starter replaced, which was fast and affordable! Thank you Joe's! ♡Services: General repairs & maintenance

So I don't usually write reviews, but I feel it is necessary in this case.I originally had my car towed to Joe's Automotive as my car battery was drained(0.01V display from multimeter), I recently just installed a new alternator, brand new terminals/connectors for the battery, and a remanufactured starter.All the attempts to start had drained what charge was left from the battery, and I suspected the starter was bad and possibly draining the battery.To their credit they got the car started, but the only change was slightly different cable angle on the starter & alternator, and severely damaged battery terminals that look like they have been smashed in with a hammer, and tightened so tight that they can no longer be removed.I took before and after photos of the engine, and these are the only things that were altered, so I can only determine that they charged my battery successfully and slightly changed the angle of the battery connections, and then smashed in my terminals so they could no longer be removed.I was then charged $280 for this privilege. The only saving grace was that they also confirmed the starter was bad, which I thought was the case anyway, and once I swapped out and reinstalled a new starter it functions properly. (The starter ended up melting the testing device used at the location I bought the starter...)TLDR: They recharged my battery, shifted cable placement, smashed in my battery terminals so they are now permanent battery fixtures, and charged me almost $300 for that amazing service...

I took my car to have a mechanical issue looked at and my oil changed. What I like about Joe’s Automotive Repair is how thorough they are in telling me what they did and possible problems that could happen in the future. They have never try to sell me something I don’t need! This is important to me because it has happened to me before where another car repair shop told me I needed something I didn’t. It I trust the information they are giving me!Services: Vehicle Inspection

There are only three wires/cables that connect to the starter, the positive battery cable, the starter solenoid wire, and the negative battery cable to ground. None of which were replaced OR melted. Do you have any pictures of these melted mystery wires?The bolts were also not tightened to the point that the report claimed, as my wireless ratchet wrench is not physically capable of tightening them to that degree, as it automatically stops when it meets resistance. It cannot overtighten things.The alternator was also installed correctly, there are only two connections to the alternator and both were fully connected and in the same locations before and after pickup."would never damage parts of the vehicle to get things back on." My mangled battery terminals beg to differ, as my attached pictures can attest. They were brand new and installed that same day actually, not a scratch on them until they were brought to you guys. The damage didn't just magically appear on its own.

I have taken my cars to Joe’s many times. They are always kind, flexible and most importantly honest. I had one issue that I thought was initially going to be expensive but after they took a look they found a much cheaper alternative that saved me around $600. I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone.Service: General repairs & maintenance

I was kind of in a pickle searching for somewhere in Bellingham to have the starter replaced in my truck. I phoned Joes and they told me I could drop my car off the following day to have it repaired. This was a pleasant surprise. From the initial phone call to the final settling up after service, my experience with them was top notch :) This is a family run establishment and there’s a level of personal care that was much appreciated. I needed my truck back the same day and they made it happen. I’m very thankful for all the levels of kindness and consideration they put into their service. If you have car trouble in Bellingham, go to Joes, they’ll take care of you :)
