On a whim, I took a chance on Defiance Auto after finding him on Yelp in Ruston -- a young MOBILE MECHANIC. The gods must've been smiling, because he turned out to be polite, efficient, knowledgeable, and even took the time to research my unusual issue. Hands down, he's the best mechanic I've ever worked with. His prices were more than fair, too. This young man makes thirty veteran mechanics look like Goober Pyle from Mayberry. All I can say is, "Goooooolllllleeee!" Give this hardworking guy a try. You will not regret it. He will come to Vashon. his name is Mick Svoboda of Defiance Auto (253) 999-8531 Defianceautoworks.com

I camped in Belfair and asked some friends for mechanic recommendations. The first shop said 2 weeks, the second said 6 weeks. Then another friend recommended North Shore. Nate said he could look at it that morning. Nate was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I dropped the car off , went to lunch with a friend and by the time we finished I got a call from Nate saying the car was ready. Not only that, Nate used a spare coil I had for the repair, so all they charged me for was $95 labor. Most shops now would have charged me for new parts and a lot more labor, but North Shore is the rare honest shop. Highly recommend them. My only regret is I couldn't take Nate and the whole shop back to my hometown in New Mexico.

When he discovered the condenser was also bad, he checked around for the part & got us the best price. He also changed the serpentine belt while he had it apart, basically only charging for the new belt. He also had it done quickly & we were happy to have it back the same day. The total price was very competitive. Mark & his wife were very nice every time my husband talked to them about our van. Highly recommend.

Mark Ayers has been our mechanic for some time. The past two oil changes have been improperly done…read more Both times we had to add oil ourselves because the proper amount was not added. The first time after bringing it to Mr Ayers attention he quipped "ah old cars burn oil " we have an 07 Mazda that has been taken care of with low mileage for that year...not even 100k. That my friends is not an engine that burns oil. Mr Ayers thinks everyone else is stupid. We were merely trusting..never stupid. The second time it happened just recently, we even had dash warning lights come on. Mark got the first check engine light to go out ..said if it happened again call..that most likely had to do with thermostat something like that. Then the engine started making a ticking noise and oil and engine warning lights on. Thank goodness we were at Walmart...we even called Mark from the car enroute...he poo pooed it....checked oil when we got there and guess what....wasn't even registering!!! Mark had done an oil change the week before.! We again added...we took the car to a different mechanic...there isn't a leak. It had been oil issues the entire time due to him .He reused the oil plug gasket which can be done but ours wasn't one of them, it should have been changed. There is a piece missing that covers the oil cartridge...don't know how long that's been gone..that engine doesn't have the traditional screw on oil filter situation. Mark never ever mentioned it. Dye was placed in the oil by the new mechanic with nothing epic found. So draw your own conclusions...those errors could have caused major engine damage to our main car. As retired folks it could have been devastating. So always check your oil after changes don't be trusting like us. I was happy spending the several hundred dollars at the new very professional auto shop for piece of mind to go over the car. We will never use Ayers Automotive again.

It's rare to find a quality shop open on weekends these days. While I waited in their comfy lobby, I actually enjoyed chatting with the team.

Brandon only noted a repair I already knew was coming up and never pressured me to spend more. They truly love what they do and care about their clients. Definitely turning into a regular here!

Everyone I've spoken to at the shop is courteous and pleasant. Jacob, who performed the service, took a significant amount of time to answer my many questions. (I probably took more time out of his day than I should have.) He showed a great deal of knowledge in his craft, care for the work he performs, and attention to doing the job right.

I went elsewhere and it turns out Matt's got my tread measurements wrong, and I was definitely overdue for a rotation. They also did not notice a gash in my tire. And they did not reset my car system reminder for the oil change.
