Easy to work with. Dropped truck off and had it back in a day. Owner called and updated me as he worked and the price was not a suprise nor unreasonable for such quick service. The owner contacted me a few days after to make sure it was still working well. A nice touch. read more

Amazing Find!! Super Honest. Extremely Professional. Extraordinarily Speedy. Best Prices. If needed, I will be back. read more

Derek and his team were able to see my car for a steering issue immediately. Did not try to upsell or overcharge in anyway. Was transparent and upfront with pricing, diagnostic, and flexible in drop off/pick up time. read more

Derek is the most honest and kind mechanic EVER, ever! I've been bringing my 2001 Toyota 4-runner to him for 10 years now (since I moved to Seattle)and thanks to Derek's quality work and very reasonable prices the ole girl is still cruising at well over 200k miles! Cannot recommend enough. read more

Derek gave me a fair quote and worked on my car for about 30 minutes after closing time until he made sure my thermostat was properly replaced and there was no air trapped in the coolant lines. Thanks! read more

Execellent service. They helped me out with a quick welding of my tailpipe to my muffler when it broke off. Honest and kind owner - Derek.

derek is the guy you hope you find if you don't have a high school buddy with a shop. he did the appropriate and necessary repair for my nice, but 20 year old, car. another shop wanted to replace half of the exhaust system for 2500 $, but derek got me out the door for less than 300 $. look no further -- this is the shop you want. read more

So made an appointment , brought the 2004 Toyota Tacoma which has a hard shift into 1 st. a squeaking front end (diver side), Derek was really not interested in working on the truck..truck is in good shape and has 250K on it, left it there for 2 day's, and all he did was test drive and spray lube on some bushing's,(noise is back by the way Derek.) i guess he does not give a shit..Derek. a satisfied customer tells a friend a dissatisfied tells 10 well guess what.. i told Derek when i brought it in to just fix it..i never asked how much, its like he was genuinely not interested .. everything was..well the truck has 250k on it.. so fucking what.. it has been well maintained and wanted to keep it that way.. Derek there are a lot of folks who cant afford to go and buy a NEW vehicle..Blow my mind. read more

Scheduled an appointment with Derek, to bring my car here for the following: 1) Have Thermostat changed 2) Check engine mounts or potential rubber/join issues. I brought the car in, in the early morning - a bit before the shop opened around 8 - 8:30am. The owner: Derek was nice, the shop was small, and parking is free. However, was limited in parking. There wasn't say too much about the waiting area. It was small and have maybe 2-3 chairs to sit. There was T.V but nothing more... This was all ok, but my vehicle did not get taken and for the scheduled appointment until 1-2 pm! I had to call and get a status update as well. Due to this, I had to drop it to a 4 star; which I still think it is a generous review. The price was fair/reasonable. However, after the thermostat was changed. We notice some leaking from the valve. This was remedied by the fact; the coolant was a big above the max line; which a mechanic sucked some out with a machine. The price came out a bit higher than what was discussed over the phone, and although - not by much. It could have been nicer to get the exact quote. Overall, I would give it A-OK, but considering the help and requests I got - were meet. I will bump it to a 4 star. However, I do think the detail of service could have been better, and the integrity of the schedule. I am not sure why I was requested to come in so early, but my vehicle didn't get seen until the afternoon. Also, the fact, I must bring some things to attention, made me feel a bit uneasy on professionalism. read more

On the fly exhaust system repair in less than an hour with no appointment. The main guy that Meineke used to employ is still here--awesome and experienced. Top notch. I trust these guys with my car. Definitely recommended, easy to get to from Southbound Aurora or eastbound 85th Street at Aurora. NB Aurora, just hang a "U" and turn right at the first driveway. read more

You guys stay blessed... Called yesterday got my problem fixed today. That place feel like walling into your house even if they never seen you before. I have sent people to them no of them ever complain. Thanks again my friends. read more

I just drove into the shop today to see if they would help me verify if work had been done by a dealership. I had no appointment, but they put my truck up on the lift and within five minutes verified that the dealership had actually performed the work they said they did. They didn't charge me anything for their time. Incredibly kind. This is my third time back and I will continue to come back because of experiences like this. read more

These Guys Are the Coolest Auto Mechanik I have ever run into through my whole existence. They treated me as a brother,as client , What Else?. I had zero headache setting things up with them for my friend car. I couldn't believe it. Thank You Derrick and your team read more

I brought my car here for an opinion on my car trouble. Les Schwab said it was the transmission. So this was the second place I brought it. They also said it was the transmission (Confidently) I then brought it to a transmission place on 145st in shoreline - they declared it was the brake calipers! They laughed that anyone would say it was the transmission! They confidently identified that the rear brake was temping at 365 degrees, ( you could feel the heat difference just by holding your hand at all four tires) I then brought it to Taylor Brake Automotive- they confirmed it is the caliper- nothing wrong with the transmission. The team was friendly and respectful, but maybe lazy or in experienced. Or they assumed because I'm female- I don't know what I'm talking about. They did a terrible job assessing the problem and were fairly quick, I doubt they even hooked it up to a machine to check things. read more

Derrick and Dennis have never failed me or my family or anyone that I have sent their way! always exceptional professional great quality work and service for a very reasonable price! I have never been disappointed and I have ran several cars through them. I highly recommend checking this shop out I love these guys and they're definitely my favorite go to local shop in Seattle! read more

Derek is a trust worthy mechanic. He's done my vehicles oil changes, rotar change, and a long trip pre-inspection. He really is a man of his word and ensures to have my vehicle ready by the time I need it done. Derek also is reasonably priced and very honest. Definitely don't overlook the shop! Give him a call on Monday mornings if you want to get something done the week of! read more

I so wish I could give five stars. Derrick was very nice and did a good job replacing my clutch. What he will fail to tell you before service is that he charges a 3% surcharge on all credit cards. That adds up when your total is $1400. Really disappointing. Also, he had my car for an extra day which caused me more fees having to Uber back and forth to work. And he didn't have it for an extra day because it took longer than he thought. It's because he didn't order the parts till I dropped off my car. All and all great job but that surcharge was a huge disappointment. read more

Great shop, great communication. Highly recommended. My 250K mile Diesel Jetta needed a new clutch. I'm a dedicated and fairly experienced do-it-yourselfer. I did the homework necessary to conclude that this project was way over my head. To quote Dirty Harry, "A man's got to know his limitations." On my initial call to Aurora Clutch & More, I learned more about the specifics of the clutch in my car than I had in six hours of videos and reviewing my Bentley's Manual. Derek knew things, top of his head that I hadn't seen. I knew I had the right expert. My car had really trashed the old clutch, and it gave Derek's crew a battle to even get the old parts out. His telling of the tale made me ever so thankful I hadn't attempted it myself. In the end, the price was fair and the new clutch is ever-so-silky smooth. Kudos to Derek and the team at Aurora Clutch and More. read more

Derrick got me in with two days notice, fixed a hard problem with my (very old) brakes, did it overnight and for a reasonable price.

I had what I thought was a clutch issue, my 07 Honda Civic SI had slipping problems getting into reverse gear. I shopped around other places and got blindly-quoted up to $1825 (and told I'd be out of a vehicle for 3 days) without even initially diagnosing. Found this gem that had ultra high ratings, and a reputation for being honest and fair priced. Yelp messaged and came in same day for a diagnosis. Derek was awesome. He took 30 min to do a free diagnosis, then he called and let me know that he was going to have to dig a little deeper and remove some items (air filter, hoses) to see what was going on, and fix whatever was the cause. Took about 45 min extra after that, After he was done, he brought me to the car and showed me he diagnosed the problem of a loose bushing insert of the shift cable, and instead of ordering a new one, he MacGuyvered and fixed the shift cable bushing on the spot. He even sent out a request for the OEM shiftcable replacement to Honda so if the MacGuyvering didn't work, I'd at least be informed timely of how much it is and what it would cost to replace the entire part. But so far the 'MacGuyver'ing has worked just fine. Everything works great now, I can actually reverse my car, I was out the door in less than 2 hours, paid labor only, and felt confident I had made the right choice. Would highly recommend Derek, a fair-priced, honest, and transparently-educational mechanic. read more

We have been to Aurora clutch and more on several occasions with car problems and Derek has always been so helpful. He is very knowledgeable in what he does and his prices are fair. He's super reliable too and that's what I look for in someone who's working on my car. 100% recommend Derek and his business. He'll take good care of your car :) read more

I have come here a couple of times, once was to get a repair done, Derek quoted me significantly less than anywhere else and followed up to make sure I felt satisfied and everything went well. The second time he didn't charge me anything, looked at the issue I was concerned with and reassured me everything was ok. He sent me on my way with a smile and peace of mind without making me feel stupid or a waste of his time. I've never had a mechanic I've felt was more honest and fair and genuinely kind than Derek and I tell anyone I can the same thing. read more

Derek is very responsive and offers high quality service at a very reasonable price. I would recommend it to people.

If I could give this 10 stars, I really would. Derek and his team are amazing. I showed up after my Catalytic Converter was stolen off my car, no appointment, no quote. Just a recommendation from a mechanic shop up the road. From the moment I stepped into the building Derek treated me like I was his son or nephew that had a broken car the night before prom. He had immediately started working on finding a new CC and didn't charge me $2000 like other mechanics I had called. He could have had the entire repair done within a day but StateFarm held us up. All I want to do is say Thank You Derek, thank you for making me feel like family and helping me. There needs to me more businesses like you. You've definitely earned a customer for life! read more

After calling around I got a great price to replace the manual transmission on my 4WD 1993 Toyota pickup. The work was done on schedule, staff was friendly, and the work was guaranteed for one year. I highly recommend Aurora Clutch and more! read more

Awesome shop! Derek is a classic and went above and beyond to get my Mini back on the road at a reasonable price read more

Super friendly guys, greats service. Called 30 minutes beforehand, came by with my car, and they took a look right away. Told me one hour to get some minor work done and were on time. Super quick, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. read more

I dropped my vehicle after lunch for checking my loose parking brake. Derek diagnosed it and called me to explain what the issue is and told me he would fix it by releasing the actuator lever and pumping up the caliper until it had resistance. Derek is really professional for fixing the issue (for $55) while the dealership would only recommend you to replace the whole caliper (for around $500). Highly recommended! read more

I recently did my brake pad/rotors here. I made an appointment with Derek, and he promised to get me in and out within an hour. And, he did. Overall very good customer service. Also, they seemed to offer the best prices in town for brake pad change. read more

I had a very similar story to another female reviewer. My car was misdiagnosed by them, they ended up not being able to fix what they started, and then I had to go find another mechanic to resolve everything. This was a huge, huge pain for me. Also, I was not forewarned that they needed the car overnight on several occasions so my work schedule got disrupted. My situation happened in the summer and I was hesitant to write a review since no other reviewers seemed to have any issues. I went there solely due to the 5 star yelps reviews. I had a noise that Jiffy Lube guessed was the serpentine belt. I repeated this exact statement when I brought the car there. After keeping the car for an entire day, they came back with agreeing with that statement. But in fact, this was not the problem. The sound was still there after they replaced the belt. He blamed me for telling him it was the serpentine belt, but I'm a customer, not a mechanic, and I did say that this is what Jiffy Lube said "but you do your own diagnosis" (which any shop should automatically do). After replacing the belt that didn't need replacing, they didn't tighten it enough so it caused a horrible screeching sound that was 25 times worse than the sound I brought the car there for. Since they were unable to get rid of the screeching sound and after having me come back multiple times, I was refunded and had to go find another mechanic who simply tightened it, and it went away. This ended up costing me an incredible amount of time, and my serpentine belt wasn't even the issue so I had to pay to replace it for nothing. Although they were professional, I think they should not take on jobs they cannot handle. read more

My Honda CR-V was the victim of the catalytic converter thieves. I called around a number of repair shops, all getting quite high quotes. Thinking that this amount was the going rate, I found Aurora Clutch and more on Yelp with 5/5 stars. I called Derek the owner and dropped off the car there. The quality of service and price were superior to any of the other places. And you know what, I just got a text from Derek asking if the car was working fine. I don't think I ever received a follow up text from a mechanic. Great place! read more

I usually don't spend time writing reviews. But I had to take the time out and write one. I would definitely recommend you taking your car here. The BEST customer service ever. You will feel like you are talking to one of your family member that you actually like. Very professional and they care about the people. They don't see you as a dollar sign they see you as family. read more

500 stars for Derek. My brake lights would not shut off, even if I turned off my engine. I called up Aurora and asked if they could take a look at it. Derek said come by anytime. I arrived soon after and he dropped everything else to take a quick look under the brake pedal. He diagnosed the issue in less than 10 seconds, said he had a replacement part, and then installed it in about 30 seconds. Problem solved! When I asked how much I owed him, he said maybe $5 for a cup of coffee. I of course gave him more than that as I appreciate good old fashioned great business service! Very trustworthy and I'll go to Derek again next time I have any issues. Thanks!! read more

My catalytic converter got stolen off my car. I called 6 different places to check on availability and price for repairs, and got an immediate response from Aurora Clutch with the lowest price. They ordered the parts within hours and did the work the very next day. No surprises. And even called to follow up to ask how the car was driving. I'm so so appreciative!! read more

I cant say enough good things about Derek and Aurora Clutch and More. He has been my go to mechanic for many years. Service is excellent, superb, honest and reasonable. I trust them completely and am very grateful to still have this old car running in such wonderful condition. They have done a wide range of things for my car through the years. I am well over due in writing reviews. I also appreciate how fast Derek gets back to me and his vast and practical problem solving abilities. There is a lot of peace of mind knowing that if some issue comes up one can call Derek and it will all be ok. I feel very lucky to have found this shop. This 5stars is a very solid 5 stars. read more

I called AC&M asking if they can take a look underneath my car after I ran over a construction cone on the freeway. Derek offered to take a look and accommodated me the very next day. Came in, they lifted my car and tightened the undercarriage cover that came loose from the damage. He didn't charge me after I offered to pay for the service. It was extremely nice of him to do that, let alone on a short notice. Extremely good customer service. I would not hesitate to come back here for any future car needs! read more

Thanks Derek for the great service and advice. The tune up was done quickly, with attention to detail and excellent updates over the phone.

Derek and his crew will take care of you. We needed some oils changes, other strange noises diagnosed (heat shield) and then some clunking in the front after the car was serviced elsewhere and incorrectly diagnosed. I recommend you bring your car to Aurora Clutch and More if you are looking for an honest mechanic that will help you maintain the life of your car. Great communication and great pricing. I will be back. Thank you! read more

For those of you who don't like to read the details: Go to this place and let Derek take care of you and your car! You will be happy you did. My story: I had a clutch issue that some other shop "fixed" a year and a half ago. They replaced the master and slave cylinders (which most likely was not necessary to do both). About $325 for the job, and the shifting still sucked afterwards (only difference is that I COULD shift again). A year and a half later, I'm having trouble with the clutch pedal sticking to the floor. I take it to Derek. He diagnoses the problem in 1 minute, free of charge: master cylinder is bad. HE TELLS ME TO CALL THE OTHER PLACE and see if they have a warranty. I did, and found out they only have a one year warranty. Not many mechanics will tell you to check with some other place to see if they'll do the same job for free! Well, since I had no warranty, I left the truck with Derek. I pick up the truck the next day. He gives twice the warranty (2 years/24,000 miles!) and only charges 1/3 the price of the other place! AND, the truck actually drives AMAZING afterwards. I've never had this awesome of shifting in the four years I've owned the thing. All he did was replace the master cylinder and bled the system, but he did it damn well. No bullsh!t. And he's a nice guy. read more

Derek's expertise with manual transmissions made all the difference. After two reputable shops were unable to figure out what was going on with the clutch on my Honda Element, Derek correctly diagnosed it as failing clutch master cylinder. He thoroughly explained my options for fixing it and, for a few hundred dollars, he repaired it the next day. Now, my clutch is as good as new! read more
