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

Alex, technician who also handles the…read morefront desk appears to have limited English got me in touch with Oleksander known as Oleks (pronounced as Alex). He is also a technician and may also possibly be the owner. That was the vibe I was receiving from our discussion. I explain what my visit was and he advised me there are different types of tune ups and what specifically I was looking to have done. I explained that I was able to obtain a quote from Honda service department and they also advised same thing. I listed the tune up details and what Honda quoted ($2,260). Oleks advised that inspection is free of charge. He would have Alex, technician do the inspection and provide his recommendation. Alex completed the inspection and advised what needed to be replaced and some replacement were not needed. He discovered there was an engine oil leak, transmission oil leak and the engine oil pan plug was stripped. Oleks had provided me with a quote range between $700-$1000. I returned back two days later on the evening of 1/14/26 to drop off vehicle which was parked safely inside the shop. The following day they replaced the engine gasket, replaced spark plugs, water pump, front crank seal, drive belt, oil pan plug and drive belt tensioner. I picked up my vehicle on 1/25/26. The sum of my bill came to $1021.80. I am truly satisfied and happy with the work that technician, Alex has completed. It was a reasonable timeframe and price. Honest work. I will use them again for any issues, repairs or maintenance.

They did a great job but due to the nature of a 18 yr old coming in saying he did a full 6in lift kit by himself and all he wanted was a alignment is skeptical to say the least ALSO ONE OF THE ONLY SHOPS AROUND THAT DOES ALIGNMENTS ON LIFTED TRUCKS The alignment itself: honestly pretty good however have a slight lean to drivers side which they blamed the tires for (it didn't do that previously with my 3.5in lift) which was not the culprit I later found culprit to be the lower control arm bolts due to finding that the bolt side is stationary with the alignment washers while the nut locks position of them into place and finding one washer isn't aligned the same way on opposite side meaning the bolt is stripped were the washer is most likely due to tightening on wrong side which very well could of been my fault during install of lift kit. it's a 10$ bolt and 4$ washers and I'm not gonna be blaming anybody unless I know for sure who it was especially over 14$. Customer service: absolutely amazing they were really nice people very transparent with me and helped me look at pricing for tires that I needed regardless of if it was effecting alignment or not. Also hooked me up with a goodie bag!!! Also bilingual! About the techs: Occasionally they would come in to the waiting area to ask me about something that the techs wanted to know (the techs are mostly Spanish speaking which I can understand but not speak fluently) and the techs are thorough with what they need to do they test drove it more than once and made some small tweaks. Extra notes: I did get a few questions about what a sound could be I told them they could bend the rotor dust sheild because I was planning on replacing it anyway (yes that was the issue) The bad: the damn pothole in-front of the shop is the worst part of the experience I swear one day (if it hasn't happened already) it will take off someone's bumper or side skirt it's a 4in deep hole that they need to go around or through

The mechanics fixed a number of issues that could have been a real problem for me if the issues had failed on my trip. Easy Street provides a three-year warranty on all repairs, they gave me complimentary Uber transportation to and from the shop, and they gave me consistent updates on the status of the vehicle repairs. I will never take my auto anywhere else for any kind of repair or service. Just the best!

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!

I have a complicated relationship with Firestone. Based on my experience working on cars and…read moresimilar vehicles, I believe the company often relies on practices that feel misleading--using inflated pricing, selective information, and sales pressure to offset labor and compensation costs. Many of the services they charge premium prices for are, in my view, not inherently as expensive as they're presented to be. This approach appears to take advantage of labor regulations, standardized manuals, and industry laws that justify higher costs to customers. That said, I recognize that there are broader factors at play, including the realities of employment structures and the operational norms common across many service centers I've encountered throughout my time in the field. When I bring my vehicles to Firestone, I don't expect to be penalized or treated unfairly, but I also don't see the experience as exceptional. Their customer service is genuinely strong, which earns them three stars. The quality of the work is acceptable and reliable, but it doesn't exceed my expectations. Overall, while I have reservations about their pricing and business practices, I'm generally satisfied with my experience.
