I had a very negative experience renting a truck through this location operating as Jim's…read moreAutomotive (U-Haul dealer). First, be aware: although this is an automotive business, they also act as a U-Haul rental location from the same address. My issue is specifically with the truck rental service. At the time of rental, I was clearly told that I did NOT need to refill the gas and could just return the truck. I asked multiple times to confirm this, and another person with me (listed driver Muhammet Emin Bilgin) understood the same. Later, I was charged for fuel anyway. I was also advised that returning the truck to the same location would be cheaper than dropping it off in Kent. That turned out to be misleading, since I was charged for both mileage and fuel. I returned the truck within about 5 hours on a Saturday, yet I was charged for an additional day because the business was closed Sunday. That makes no sense and should not be the customer's responsibility. When I tried to resolve the issue, I spoke directly with the owner, which made the situation even more disappointing. Instead of helping, he repeatedly interrupted me, would not let me explain, and accused me of being rude while cutting me off during the call. They may try to separate themselves by saying this is a different business (U-Haul vs. Jim's Automotive), but the service is provided at the same location, by the same people. As a customer, that distinction is meaningless. Overall, I feel misled and overcharged. I strongly recommend that people avoid renting trucks from this location and go through a corporate location instead.

They fixed the problem without drama or thinly veiled threats about how "they wouldn't drive away in that car, but hey, if you want to, it's your life." I'm being facetious, but you have no idea how difficult it is for a middle aged woman to find a car repair place that doesn't rip you off or treat you like a barbie doll without a brain. I just found my car repair place, and I will drive the two hours to Seattle from Port Townsend just to get the work done on my VW Bug. It's worth that much to me to be treated like a human, and further more? The manager, Mike ... awesome guy. Laid back, family man, understands the stress and cost regarding repair from the customers perspective, and very authentic about what he felt I should do -- as opposed to "OMIGOSH! FIX ALL THIS NOW OR ELSE!" Seriously. They rock. And their tow truck driver, Rolly, was super awesome too. No. They didn't pay me to write this and I don't know them. But I will see them often -- my car is a wreck. I have total faith they will turn it back into a sweet little slug bug that isn't a death trap. They said they could. And (one more time) they didn't make me feel as though I should ask my priest for forgiveness for not taking a home equity line of credit to get all the recommended work done that day. Thanks Mike (and the mechanics) Sarah from Port Townsend in the 98 Silver Slug Bug aka Work in Progress

I cannot emphasize this enough: do not take your car to this shop. Please do not be fooled by the…read moreYelp/Google reviews or the polished website like I was. I'm guessing the shop was recently sold or they pay people to publish reviews for them, because I had an absolute trainwreck of an experience with this place. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say this is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a business. - They do not work with insurance, even if they claim to. - Took five weeks when they quoted me one. - Didn't call me ONCE in five weeks to update me about anything. - Stonewalled the insurance and didn't call them back. My car was vandalized the first week of May when someone drilled a hole into my gas tank, so I called around to five local shops for estimates. Scott Sherman was the cheapest, by about $200. So after I confirmed with Michael that they worked with insurance directly, and specifically State Farm, I arranged for a tow. I gave them the number for the insurance claims department and they quoted me one week to turn the car around. I let them know I needed to have it back before the end of May. I call in after a week and ask if the car is ready. They said they couldn't get ahold of my insurance after trying repeatedly so they'd call again. Naturally, didn't call to let me know. A few days go by and the insurance still hasn't heard from them, so I gave State Farm the shop's number to call directly. My insurance agent tells me that the shop won't call them back and only seems to pick up when they call from a different number. When I called, Michael said "oh you want to talk to the other guy but he's in the bathroom right now." Strange - he seems to have been in the bathroom every time I call. Two more weeks go by, and dozens of calls later, Scott Sherman hasn't even started working on the car nor have they filed any estimates with State Farm. At two points, the claims department called the shop to walk them through the B2B submission process. My agent confirmed that they didn't submit anything, despite telling the claims team they did. It's the end of May and Scott Sherman won't return my calls, work with the insurance, and still hasn't replaced my gas tank. At this stage, I'm worried they don't even have my car, so I stop by after work to ensure my car is really there. I go in to light a fire under them and they tell me their computer hasn't been working but they can get me the quote the insurance has been asking for. Interesting that they knew exactly what I would ask about before I even had the chance. Thankfully, my car is still there, but excuse after excuse and they say the car will be done by end of the week. We're well into June at this point, and I'm starting to look up legal options to prepare myself. My agent calls me and says they can either tow the car to another location (at my expense) or just pay up front and hope that insurance will pay based on the shop's estimate. They finally finished the car the second week in June and the insurance fully reimbursed me, not even three days after getting my car back. I understand being a mechanic near a big city must mean you deal with some difficult people but that's no excuse for the way these guys conducted themselves. Do NOT be tricked by their website, the reviews, or the prices they quote if you're looking to have your car repaired quickly and especially if you're hoping to involve insurance. TERRIBLE.

My experience with Eastside Auto Care was an absolutely dismal experience that ruined my day. Please try anywhere else in the Eastside if you're not looking to be disgustingly overcharged with pricing practices that completely lack transparency. Made an appointment to drop off my car at 8 am. Arrived on the dot and handed the keys over to Chi. Was told upfront by Chi that it'd take 2-3 hours and need to take a look to get the exact charge price. I bus to work. A few hours later I receive a call from the front desk notifying me that it's take longer because Chi is waiting on a new part to arrive. Then they tell me my car is ready for pickup. I take the 40 minute bus bus ride over and the front desk attendant tells me they actually need a couple hours more for the part to arrive. Another customer waiting by the front desk tells me how the front desk told them a 40 minute estimate that turned into 2 hours wait and counting. Chi shows me the part he's planning to replace and tells me it'll be around $230 total. I go back to the waiting room and nap on the chair due to exhaustion and frustration with his situation. At about 3 pm my car is ready and as I'm preparing to pay the $230 the front desk asked of me, the front desk attendant checks the fee amount with Chi and the the front desk attendant relays to me that the fee has become some $340. I ask them for a breakdown of the price, and they go back to consult Chi. They come back saying the fee includes the charge part and hourly labor rate. At this point I just wanted to leave and get back to work so I paid the amount. I ask him where the key is and he says it should be in the car. I get into my car and find no key. I head back and it turns out they had the key in their collection. They definitely got the best of me by getting me to pay the magically hiked up service fee and playing with my exhausted patience.
