NO INTEGRITY! I paid the proprietor Jim Kirkham over $5000…read more(in full) for 2 old disassembled Chevy trucks including 2 engines(with a $1000 agreed value). He advertised this package on Facebook Marketplace but the money was processed on a credit card through his business KPro Auto making it a business transaction. He gave me a verbal ok to pick it up in a "month or two" because I'm a U.S. Navy Service Disabled Veteran and needed help from my son (who is a U.S. Army Service Disabled Veteran wounded in Syria 2023) to move it all. Jim didn't lift a finger to help at all. He mostly stood around and arrogantly made wisecracks about our automotive ignorance. After picking up the trucks and assorted parts, I had a change in plans and did not take delivery of the old original engines, one was very rusty on the inside. Jim (the owner) refused to refund me, in part I suspect because he was insulted and embarrassed that I found broken glass in his home made honey(that's when relations broke down). I paid in full for everything ahead of time and have receipts to prove it. I don't owe him a penny. No labor on his part was involved. He also gave me 2 counterfeit Bills of Sale for the trucks with fraudulent signatures of the prior owners. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE! JIM IS A VERY SHADY DISHONEST CHARACTER! He still refuses to refund my $1000.

The good folks at K-Pro were able to squeeze me in quickly and put my mind at ease. They found the issue and gave me some options and assured me no safety issues. When I got back from vacation I went straight back to replace the front struts and now the car drives better than it ever did. Or at least it feels that way! Great service, talked me through the issues, reasonable prices, and people who cared about me. As a side bonus, some of the best honey around is made by the owner and sold here and a few other places in town.

This is a veteran owned, family run business with Michelle manging operations and AJ wrenching on cars. They ended up doing a ton of repairs on my wife's 87' 560sl. This car has only 34k miles but like all old cars regardless of mileage, most of the belts, mounts, bushings, shocks, etc were shot. The heating and cooling system was acting up and the car was idling rough. Basically it needed a ton of work.   I was not wanting to take it to any of the shops in the Bellevue area because the overhead and labor rates are ridiculous.  But, more important than cost, most of these shops (having had prior experience with many of them) won't let you communicate with the mechanic. They all have service advisors that shield the customer from interacting with the mechanic.  I get why that makes sense for the shop, but for me, I like to interact with my mechanic. Especially when there is lots of diagnostic time and a significant amount of work needed.  Anyhow, AJ ended up doing the shocks, engine mounts, subframe bushings, rear main seal, a heating and cooling system ocerhaul, transmission shifter bushing, and a whole lot more. Some things, like the heating and cooling system overhaul required that he troubleshoot and repair some complex circuit boards as replacement parts were not available.  He texted updates, shared photos of the problems as they were discovered and took my calls to discuss repair options / solutions, and the take-off parts were left for me in the trunk. Anyhow, yes it was a lot of work and I expected to be expensive (and it was) but I believe it would have been significantly more expensive elsewhere and I know I wouldn't have received the same care and attention to detail. My experience and interactions with both AJ an Michelle left me feeling really good about the quality of work they provided. That to me; feeling like the guy working on your car was not only an expert, but that he cared; is invaluable.

From the moment I met them, all of my anxieties about finding a trustworthy mechanic began to melt away. Not only did AJ take care of the issues I was having but was able to help me address surrounding issues and took care of all of it within 24 hours (spark plugs, valve covers/adjustment, air filter, & transmission flush/service). He took care of my 2006 Honda Civic with 310,000+ miles on it as if it were new and it felt even newer once I drove away. If you are in need of honest, friendly, and affordable service I highly recommend.

I brought it to Stanwood Car Care hoping for some honesty and help -- and they went above and beyond. They didn't just fix the issue, they treated me with genuine respect and care. When my Subaru started having issues shortly after, they got me in the same day -- no hassle, no games. They didn't nickel and dime me, and they were upfront and more than fair throughout the process. It's rare to find a shop that not only does great work, but actually treats you like a person. Stanwood Car Care earned my trust, and they've got all of my family's business moving forward. Thank you guys!
