Awesome. They even quoted me a higher price and decided they I didn't need some of the work done, so they didn't charge me for it! Definitely an honest price for good work. read more

Shane is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough and I can tell he truly cares about taking care of his customers. Service reps were also very helpful and efficient. read more

This place has great service and people. I had asked them to check my brakes while doing an alignment. When I picked up the car and asked about the brakes, the service agent realized it hadn't been done. Since the bays were full he said it might be another hour before they could get it up on the rack again but would go check with the owner who came out immediately, apologized profusely, took my keys and drove my car into a side bay they don't usually use. He pulled another tech over and the 2 of them went over the entire brake system while I watched and said there was plenty of life left in the rotors and pads. A less reputable place might have taken the opportunity to try and sell me on the need to do a brake job (75k miles since the last pad replacement). Honesty, great reputable service. They will get the brake job when the time comes. read more

Great shop here, not pushy to finish all the repairs the vehicle needed at once, and ranked the importance of each repair so I could prioritize and budget in preparation. (Even suggested that I could probably get by without of fee of them, and I could probably address a few myself to save a few dollars) read more

I couldn't be happier! From my first phone call to when I picked my vehicle up after the repairs were complete, the process was seamless! The service write, Joel, was knowledgeable, answered all my questions with patience, let me know what needed to be done right away, and gave recommendations for what needed to be done soon. He was very thorough and made it clear that I was leaving my vehicle in the right hands. I have, and will continue to, recommend them to friends, family, co-workers, and anyone else willing to listen. Thank you Joel and Alignment and Brakes for taking care of my car in a timely and cost-effective way. read more

I had another shop look at my car for 5 mins and quote a bunch of things I knew were not needed. I took it here and they did the work that was needed and were super quick and efficient and confirmed that the other stuff was in fact not needed. They are honest and have earned my business! read more

This is kinda an indirect review, but I had to give kudos to the kindness I received from this shop. While I was dropping off some donations for the food bank, my distracted ass locked my keys in my car. this was so embarrassing considering I hadn't done this to myself since I was a teenager. Luckily for me though, there was Alignment & Brakes Plus right next door. There was a sweet gentleman named Kane(sp?) that came out with a locksmith kit and offered to help. He took time out of his day to help me when I desperately needed it. Based on the generous service I received from these guys, I would recommend them for all your auto-related needs. It's so impressive when you see people act with such integrity. I was lucky that Kane was willing to help me, free of charge. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP! read more

Second time we've taken the daughters car here. We got a quick appointment and all repairs completed same day at the quoted price.

I have gone through a few dozen cars in my life, and a few dozen mechanics as well. Almost always disappointed. Not here. Never once. Shane is not just excellent in his workmanship, but has a rare virtue among his peers-plain outright honest. Look no further. I wish I could give 10 stars. read more

Second time here for alignment (first time after getting new tires and second time after putting new struts and on my car) and I must say they did a good job so far so good definitely recommend for people to get their alignment done I'm not sure about how the rest of the services they provide but alignment so far so good read more

Shane and the crew are a delight to work with... they are like a throwback to a time when you could trust your mechanics. I have had three jobs done on my elderly Volvo and each time the work was excellent and the price surprisingly low. I cannot recommend their work and service highly enough. Don't hesitate! read more

Had to give them a try after all the 5-star Yelp reviews and positive comments. I had an appointment and brought them a vehicle that was a challenge to work on due to its height. At first they thought they'd have to turn me away because there was a confusion about my appointment. Then they thought they'd have to turn me away because of the height challenge of the vehicle. But then the owner created a work-around and they were able to do the job. There was a parts challenge, but it was professionally worked through. The 5-stars is because they authentically wanted to do right by me and they dealt with the challenges professionally. read more

I needed rear brakes, rotors, and an alignment. After calling for about 8 different quotes in Seattle and Bellingham, I found this place! The price was unbelievably low and the guy was very helpful on the phone, so I made an appointment for when I'd be up for a long weekend. He said he'd order the parts ahead of time. I dropped my car off, and it was done quickly. He gave me helpful information about how to get my new tires cross-rotated (I have 4WD), told me a little about my car's brakes, and I left feeling happy and more knowledgeable about my car. The prices can't be beat! I paid HALF of what it would have cost at large chain auto shops, and being able to make an appointment made it incredibly easy. Keep the money in our local economy and have a good experience, instead of waiting for hours at a large, overpriced, first-come-first serve chain. You won't be disappointed here! read more

Not only are they the best price in town for wheel alignment (I think I paid about $45?), but they are super nice. I went in on May 1st for an alignment. On May 5th, I was rear-ended. I went back to have them check and see if the accident threw the car back out of alignment, and they didn't even charge me for it! Great guys, amazing price, and I highly recommend them. read more

We purchased a vehicle back in December, and the dealership used A&BP for the agreed upon repairs, which included replacing the front and rear brake pads and rotors, and flushing the power steering fluid. Back in March, we took the car to our local repair shop because the front brakes were squeaking like crazy. They informed us the brake pads were incorrectly installed. We went ahead and approved the repair and the squeaking went away. Roughly a month ago, the squeaking began again, this time from the rear. The car went into our local repair shop again (the AC wasn't working either, which was due to a bad regulator, unrelated to A&BP). Lo and behold, the rear brake pads were also ultra cheap and installed incorrectly. They even sent a video showing this. On top of that, they also sent a picture showing the power steering fluid had never been changed out. And yes, this work was supposedly "done" by A&BP because I went there and met the owner. When we approached A&BP via the dealer, we were informed "too much time" had passed for them to provide any support on these issues - even though the issues were proven to show the work was incorrectly done (or not done at all). Needless to say, anyone using this repair shop needs to exercise extreme caution. I've never had this many issues come up relative to a vehicle having repair work done, nor have I ever had a repair shop refuse to correct the mistakes they made, even if it was months ago. read more

Theres a reason why this place is high rated. From the phone call service I got for a quote on my car alignment to my departure from that place I am well satisfied and happy with my decision and service. There well informed with every car product and help with great suggestions. Staff and even the owner Shane have been really helpful and friendly! They havr coffee and ice cold water as well as magazines to read in the waiting room. Check it out! read more

Thought I would be shelling out some cash, but Shane and the team evaluated our brakes and let us know that it didn't need a thing - much to our relief. They even cleaned up all the wheels for us. I've recommended this place many times since! Keep up the good work. read more

These folks are great. Customer service is excellent. Had my car done in no time and were willing to work with my schedule for the pick up time. read more

Best experience with a car mechanic since working with my dad in our home garage. Shane was great. He gave me the diagnosis and provided great information so I could make the best decision for the vehicle and situation. He respected my knowledge of engines and did not speak down to me or "Mansplain". Friendly, great rapport, provides the facts, discusses options, practical, honest, highly recommend! read more

Super flexible as I had to reschedule my appt a couple times. Convenient location, but not much parking. Seemed to be thorough and were very friendly! read more

I had a weird sound in my back rear wheel. I dropped it off and they did a thorough inspection, letting me know what was causing some other issues and gave me a reasonable and detailed estimate on the work they suggested. Zero pressure, straight-forward communication and made me feel really comfortable. They even let me know what was worth my money and what wasn't and did all of that free of charge! I see why they have a great reputation and they will be getting my business going forward. read more

I have been a customer for years and if the work is not needed they won't recommend that it be done. They are my number one choice by far. Quick, honest, priced below the competition and very, very helpful. I would recommend Alignment to all. They have even did my warranty maintenance at half the price of the dealership. read more

Just got my alignment done right quick! Place is good! Good customer service skills & very reasonable prices! Check em out & it'll be worth it! My car was done within a half hour. read more

The man I bought my car from (used) 7 years ago recommended Shane and I've never used anyone else. I really hate not being a savvy consumer, but the truth is - I know nothing about cars and engines. Shane has been so good to me. He has never pressured me into unnecessary repairs, has stood by all the bids he has given and is unfailingly kind and courteous. More than once, I went to him just to see if my car would be okay to drive the 6+ hours to mom's house (over the pass) and he checked systems out for me. In 7 years, I've replace the timing belt, a couple of hoses, had brake work done and a few other things I can't recall. Prices were always fair and there was never a question about the quality of the work after I drove away. read more

I had a great shop but it was 20+ miles away, so I tried this shop because of the reviews I read. I knew the work I wanted done and told them to do brakes all around. When I went to pick up the vehicle, I was told that the rear brakes were good. That is pretty impressive, I had given them permission (an invitation) to do the work. I guess my sterling review is as much for what they didn't do. The other great thing about this shop is that you can talk to them about the details of the work. Most shops like to keep you uneducated about your vehicle and the sense that everything's a mystery and that they work magic when repairing it. read more

I thought the guy was nice and professional(two stars worth) but the alignment was bad. About 3 years ago I bought a used car that needed new tires and an alignment. Got the tires at Les Schwab and alignment with this guy. Afterwards it still pulled to the right. I asked him about it and he said he has all the latest equipment and had no issues with the car. After 3 years of tire rotations and normal driving Les Schwab informed me that my tires were unevenly worn and I needed an alignment. The car now drives straight and is no longer squirly on bumpy roads but now I need new tires. I can not recommend this shop nor will I go back which is kinda sad because I see lots of good reviews here. read more

Shane and his crew are awesome. I was one of their early customers when they were on the back streets, and they've never let me down. Great prices, great service and if Shane needs to out source because it's not his area of expertise, you can bet his referrals bring you to people who are just as great. Thanks A&B+ for everything. read more

5 stars for Shane, Jon and Matt. These guys are courteous, patient, nice, and honest! And I thank most to Shane who took the time to help me with my 97 QX4's windshield wiper. Really appreciate it! read more

Dont bring your car here they seem friendly but dont know shit. I brought my car in for a diagnosis of my steering wheel vibrations at high speeds like 70 mph. They called to tell me it is because of my brake rotors which I was already aware needed some attention but couldn't have been the cause of the issue since I'm not applying the brakes when I feel the vibrations. So I picked up my car which suddenly had a check engine light was on and was idling very rough both two issues that weren't problems when I brought my car in. So I drove to get a diagnostic tool and its throwing coil pack issues which shouldn't be a problem since I recently replaced my coil packs. Pop the hood to be pleasantly suprised NOTICING they had taken my coils out and never put them even back in. Wtf how can you be a trained mechanic who people trust you with your cars when you make fucking repairs that arent even involved with the repair the custom wants and then forget to complete the job when handing the car back to the custom. I will never bring any of my vehicles here again and highly reccomend you dont do the same as well. read more

Really nice guys! Got quoted an outrageous price by the dealership and brought my car to them and they quoted me half as much and were so nice about everything! Would for sure go back! (although hopefully wont need too!) read more

I found this place by googling "best brakes in Bellingham" or else I wouldn't have found these reviews. I brought in my 2002 Honda Civic for a brake check and received very good service. Shane had my brakes checked while I waited for about 1/2 an hour and then was able to get me in the next business day. He noticed that my front rotors were applying pressure unevenly and had a quick and simple fix. He was able to get me in the next business day and replace the pads, turned the rotors(in shop) and put some no-seize on the slides to prevent the calipers from applying pressure unevenly. All for $189+tax. I am also getting a bid from Shane for a timing belt and from what he quoted off the top of his head and his price and expertise is very good. He is also listed as Affordable Mopeds and Cycles but it looks like I found my new B'ham mechanic! My wife also talked to him about used vehicles in the area and he has a quite a bit of knowledge about the local used car dealers. If I were in the market for a used car I would definitely talk to Shane about it and bring it in to him for a pre-buy check. read more

New to the area I struck gold when I found these guys. They are SOOO NICE! Great awesome amazing customer service. They have such great prices. They didn't over charge me for anything. Cut some of the labor cost. These guys are going to be my go to guys from now on. I had needed work done on a Saturday and called everyone in the area. I found these guys cause they were the only one who were able to squeeze me in same day. So lucky everyone else was booked! Happy happy Accident. read more

Son's car lost brakes. He is a student and had his brakes repaired here. Very honest and efficient. I appreciated the help from long distance. If I lived in the Bellingham area I would use this service regularly. read more

John was super friendly here - fit me in even on a tight day because it just really made my day and my life so much easier. Got me in and out quickly - with a smile. Thanks!!! read more

Excellent service. I trust this business 100%. Honest, affordable work.

Asked for a brake job.Was told rear brakes were fine. Went back for a noise issue. Told I needed rear brakes. Went back again for noise. Was told I needed new calipers. Went back again because brake pedal went to the floor. Still had a noise issue. Was told it was a rear seal. It took 7 visits. Over $1200 and still had noise. Used cheap parts. Went to another mechanic who fixed the noise and replaced rusted brake lines that I wasnt told about surprisingly. Worst experience. read more

Took my Trailblazer in for an alignment after replacing ball joints and tie rods. Left with everything set to factory specs and they re-centered my steering wheel. And they came in UNDER the quote given over the phone! Will be using again when mine or my wife's rig need work! read more

Great service! Not everything went perfectly, but they more than made up for little mistakes and the end result was that I paid less.

These guys saved me. I was from out of town and my alternator went out on my 1996 Ford Ranger. I called them on a Friday morning and they said they would get me in that day. It took a few hours for AAA to send a tow truck so I didn't get in early. They replaced the alternator but said the battery was fine. A less scrupulous garage could have easily sold me an unnecessary battery. These guys are honest and truly helpful. If I lived up there they would be my only repair shop. read more

Shane and Crew, Thank you! I am a single mom and found a place to go to that didn't rip me off! I needed some help with my SUV but didn't know how to tell others or know what was wrong. I went to A&B and started telling Shane what was going wrong. He listened to me and looked at my car and told me what he thought it was. He said he will look at the car and get back to me (before he worked on it)! He called me back explain what the problem was and the cost! Holy cow!!! He was almost half the price of any body else in Bellingham WA! He was fair! He understood what I was saying with out being rude in the answer back! He called me before working on it! He didn't add a (single mom cost) extra cost because I would have no clue if he was overcharging me! I have been going to him for 8 yrs and I will only go to him! Ladies, this is a great place to go and he will understand and treat you like a lady! read more
