“I'm not sure what has taken me so long to post a review for this shop! They are great!!! We started coming here about 3 years ago, when our other reliable mechanic (Paulco) closed down. I feel so lucky to have found Jori and his team. He is straight forward, fair, and honest. We've taken all 4 of our vehicles to him for service over the years (2 Toyotas, a Subaru, and a Ford). Thanks for all your expertise.”
“I think I’ve left a review before but I had to come back to say again how wonderful Paolo and his team are. I have been bringing my car in for at least 6 years and every single interaction I’ve had is a good one. Specifically today my car was broken into and Paolo gave me so many options as to how I could get my windows fixed despite the shop being closed throughout the weekend. This in addition to the fact Car Tender was one of the first calls I made because I knew I would immediately and very kindly be taken care of. I have never felt hassled to spend more than was necessary; have always been given a clear understanding of the issues with my car and how they may be effecting the vehicle; and feel the staff are respectfully personal in their care. I genuinely look forward to going into the office when I come. I could not recommend them enough.”
“I'm not a customer of yours, in fact, I live on the East Coast. Any auto care place that beats my Christmas card from being the first holiday card to arrive in my Seattle cousin's mailbox deserves a 5 star rating. ? BTW... I'll be sending my holiday cards out prior to Thanksgiving next year to avoid a repeat of this incident. ? Merry Christmas.”
“Very reliable and trustworthy! They always do a good job. They have fit me in last minute before when I needed something done asap. They have integrity and are very professional.
I got a quote for new brakes at a local dealership and without me telling them the cost, they were cheaper by more than $100 dollars. This is a family business owned and operated by two brothers and they have been there for many years.
They were also very nice to my little boy and gave him a toy car when we came in and now he asks to go back!
Thanks guys for always taking care of our cars!”
“I’ve gone to Dave’s auto for many years, but over the summer, Edgar Vargas, a master mechanic purchased the business and opened it November 1, 2025.
I own a 1987 Cadillac Deville that belonged to my mother and is in pristine condition. Both the heater as well as radiator had gone out. I was hesitant at first because not all auto shops offer good service like Dave did. The engine had also been leaking a great deal of oil and I mentioned that to Edgar. Edgar fix the heater and radiator, but upon examining the engine, discovered that it needed to have a complete rebuild in order for the car to function properly. He called numerous shops in the area, but they ALL REFUSED TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE OF It’s AGE. EDGAR DIDN’T GIVE UP!! He’s having the engine rebuilt by someone in eastern Washington that he has known for 20 years and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Edgar impressed me with his honesty plus showing me exactly what was wrong with the engine. He is very dedicated to his profession and I’m so thankful for him.”
“Zack and his team are true mechanics and staples in the community. The only spot I could find open on a Sunday. I called him Saturday night due to an emergency with my parents car who were visiting me in the area and he was able to get me in Sunday morning. Without saying too much, this man and his team went above and beyond to help us, treating us like he knew us for years. He chose people over profit and it was clear he wasn't trying to make a quick buck but moreso build trust. This man runs an ethical business and he has my business from now on with all of our cars. Thank you bro. Much love”
“Excellent customer service, and so far the best Volvo mechanic I've been to. 256,000 miles and counting on my 02 V70 XC, and I finally feel like I found a mechanic I can trust to do the jobs I'm not cut out for. I'm very pleased with the quality of work, and that they seemed to respect that I do a lot of DIY. They actually listened to what I was saying and worked with me to figure out what makes sense to do on my car.”
“Derek Todd the owner is the best human soul I ever met in my life. Talking to him you feel that the guy is not only a mechanic but a real customer service oriented businessman.
I would have given this business more than 5 stars rating but the latter is the highest rating.
Very competent in what he does, best price in town and above all is Derrick charming personality.
Again, thank you and hope this review helps past and future customers.
Kamel”

“Personable, honest, and warranties their work. Reasonable pricing and very knowledgeable. Best of all they communicate while your car is there to make sure you know the status so you can plan your day. Some loaner cars available.”
“I'm so glad I found this shop! Dan was friendly and helpful, and the staff quickly identified the source of two separate issues with my car and had it fixed before the end of the day. Going to this shop felt like a breath of fresh air and a totally different experience after years of going to the big corporate dealerships. The Kenmore Automotive staff are honest and committed to quality vehicle repair and great customer service. I highly recommend them!”
“Excellent experience. I came here to diagnose an issue with my landlords car overheating and Tony found out the radiator needed replacement. The price seemed very reasonable, he allowed me to drop it off and pick it up a couple days later to work around my schedule and the car is running great again. Will definitely be back next time I encounter any car troubles. Thanks again Tony, much appreciated and happy holidays?”

“I am traveling from out of the state and have issues with the brakes and also needed regular maintenance and checkup from a trustworthy mechanic. I reached out to Edwards and they explained everything patiently and kept me updated on the progress and got everything done quickly to help get me back on the road. Now I feel so much safer driving my car on my road trip. Thank you Bill and your team.”
“I'd been having car problems for about a year but had been told by another mechanic that they were unable to identify the problem. My car would die almost every day, jerk while driving, and finally started to struggle to go up hills and drive generally. The folks at Nix's had it running like new the same day I brought it in. They took the time to explain to me what was wrong in a way I could understand (I have absolutely zero knowledge about cars) and I feel so much safer driving now. They explained my options and how much each would cost, and didn't take advantage of my lack of knowledge to get more money out of me. Cannot recommend this place enough!!!”
“Really recommend these guys. They came highly recommended and I see why. Roy is awesome and always takes care of us. They are a team I can trust and are my go to’s for all my Japanese built vehicles.”

“Staff was very kind and helpful, specifically Jason. I was in a bad spot and he was gracious and really helped me out. Highly recommend these guys for customer service!”
“Absolute great mechanic. Honest & affordable.
One mechanic said my timing belt was gone. I took my car to Paulsons & he realized it was just the starter, fixed it in an hour.
Then, recently, mt battery died & the initial mechanic told me it was the alternator.
Turns out, it was just a loose cable. Paulsons fixed it with zero charge.
I’ll forever go back here & recommend to everyone.”
“I work next door to Chuck's, so the first time I needed service I figured it would be convenient. As with any new-to-me shop, I was nervous about getting overcharged or tricked into unnecessary services. But they have been timely, communicative, transparent, and helpful every time! Letting me know what services are essential and which can wait, patiently explaining things to me, and getting work done quickly.
I was inspired to write this post after their kindest act yet - last week I punctured a whole hole in a tire that I had recently purchased from them. After scraping it on a curb. The hole was so bad that I couldn't even drive the car the two blocks over to their shop. Eric left his desk immediately to come and help me inflate the tire, and when that didn't work swapped out my wheel for the spare so I could drive it the rest of the way. They got a new tire ordered on warranty, which came in first thing Monday. It took 3 minutes to swap on and they sent me on my way!”
“Amazing.. had my Range dropped off they called next day told me issue was easy fix didn't charge me huge amount and told me how to fix issue if it happens again.. from the front to the back these guys are solid .. ONLY place I will take my Range from now on . Thank you.”
“I'm new to the states and was very concerned when my car broke. I got Olympic Automotive Inc address from my community friends. Since I had already got the quote from other repair shops I was surprised when the same work was being done by Olympic @almost 40% discount. Plus very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend to everyone.”
“Wasn't able to work on my car because they were too busy, but he called another clutch shop for me nearby and directed me there. Good, friendly, and honest.”
“Got me in right away when my car wouldn’t start. They are super easy to get ahold of. I love that. I’d been looking for a place to take my Volvo, and now I was luckily forced into it. Turns out it started at the shop, but I asked if they could do a full check up anyway. I knew there were things that needed attention. Kim was thorough and patient answering all of my questions and helping me figure out what to fix now, and what could wait. He also went above and beyond, taking the time to give me information on how to better care for my vehicle- saving money in the long run. I really liked this shop. Highly recommend.”
“I needed to fix my car’s A/C during the height of hot Seattle weather. Curtis at Acme Auto got me in within a few days of calling and did a phenomenal job fixing things up. The cost was on the lower end of what other shops were estimating as well.
Moreover, when I came by to pick my car up, I asked whether he could take a look at some issues I was having with my check engine light and wiper fluid sprayers. He agreed to do so without any hesitation. He fixed the sprayer issue I was having and informed me of the codes affecting my check engine light for free.
Curtis is a stand up guy and extremely good at what he does. I will be coming back to Acme Auto for any additional car service I need.”

“We've been going to Greg's Japanese for YEARS and they've always treated us fairly and we're satisfied with their work. The only reason we don't give a five star is that they've gotten increasingly busy ever since they were bought out and have taken on more responsibilities.”
“I waited 1500 miles after the work was done to post this review. Espinoza gave me a great price, on a hard job, my car has a lot of aftermarket parts. They got the job done on schedule and they were pleasant to work with. They'll certainly be getting more of my business.”
“My Subaru Outback was showing signs of transmission problems so I took it to two local transmission shops to get it diagnosed and repaired. I selected Trans Service Inc and was very happy with their work. Customer service was very good and they clearly communicated options for our transmission.”
“I've been using Andys auto for years. They have always met or exceeded my expectations every time. It's a bit out of my way being I live in Stanwood. But I'll make that drive to receive quality, and good communication at a fair price.”
“I’ve been to a lot of auto shops over the years, but this one truly stands out. The team here is incredibly transparent. Steve and Ryan will walk you through everything they’re doing and never make you feel pressured or confused. I really appreciate how they take the time to explain the issues in a way that actually makes sense, whether you know cars or not.
They’re also extremely thorough and detail-oriented, checking things I wouldn’t even think to ask about and making sure my car is genuinely safe and running well before I leave. You can tell they care about doing things the right way, not just the quick way.
Overall, it’s rare to find an auto shop that is this honest, patient, and committed to quality work. I always leave feeling confident and taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Their customer service was great. John handled everything with the insurance, and the repair job was seamless. My car looks and drives like new again! Highly recommend them for any bodywork.”
“Friendly, professional, and fast customer service with a refreshingly trustworthy vibe. I had an alternator replaced and the final cost was $400 less than they quoted.”
