Auto Dynamix is the best mechanic I've found yet. They are very responsive and reasonably priced. So many shops fail to call you when your vehicle is done. Not this one. Khea called me with the cost of how much the work was going to be, and then called me a few hours later when it was done! And when I asked for an estimate for a steering rack, he emailed me the estimate in half an hour. I've had other shops completely forget to call me back with the estimate. And their prices are great... especially compared to Toyota. To replace my charcoal canister, Toyota claimed it would take nearly 3 hours of labor. Yeah right. Auto Dynamix charged the actual amount of labor and didn't screw me over. I'm currently only in Washington for the summer, but if I end up moving here, at least I know I'll have an awesome auto shop to go to!! read more

This is the only shop I will take my car to. I do almost all of my own maintenance and repair. I'm very comfortable with things like oil changes, belt replacements, etc. But when I have a task that's a bit more involved this is the only shop I will go to. Without fail, every dealership I have ever talked with has tried to rip me off. Do not take your vehicle back to the auto dealer. Give the guys at autodynamix a call. read more

I had an engine seize, misaligned tires, and tons of issues. I bought a used van that literally broke down 2 hours out of Vegas trying to drive it here. I'm here to say that this is a great auto business team. Starting from Dave and on. They are really friendly and punctual. The location was further back then I thought but, outside of that, they have a clean bathroom, couch, shuttle service, and a calm and friendly lab. I'm truly impressed with their service and fair prices. They do a fine job and I'm thankful for your service and conversations. read more

I was searching for a decent and honest mechanics on Eastside after Elliot Tire in Kirkland almost ruined our 4Runner. After stopping by the Lexus dealership and speaking to their mechanics, we learned about Auto Dynamix. So, we took our truck to Keah to inspect it. Very personable, honest - they told us what was wrong with the truck and what needed to be done to fix the problems. No fees for inspections. They own their shop - and, as my wife and I could tell, they are planning to run their business for years to come, thus, their reputation is very important to them. If you own Toyota or Lexus - give these guys a shot. They know Toyotas inside-out. As for my family - once you find a treasure - keep it. Once you find an honest mechanic - the same applies. read more

I usually take my car to the deanship for repairs but got sick of horrible customer service and high cost of repairs. I read a great review of Auto Dynamix on the Bellevue Facebook page. They were not lying. Khea was amazing! Took my car in right away and half the cost of the dealership. I will never go back to the dealership again. read more

Ordered new tires from Tire Rack and had Auto Dynamix mount & install new tires recently, I asked what tire pressure he put on and he said 36 pounds all around. I went to work and I noticed a very harsh ride. At end of my work shift I then decided to check the actual tire pressure it was over 60 pounds. Update: Today I went to have tires rebalance because car is shaking at freeway speeds. So I go to Les Schwab and they said wheel locks are missing. I highly question their quality control read more

I've taken many cars to many shops, but Auto Dynamix is above and beyond the best. I brought a truck in for a pre-purchase inspection and they caught some major issues. They even gave me my next inspection free since I had a previous fail with another truck, even though a different shop did the first inspection. When I finally found the right truck, they fixed it up great for me. After a few months, one of the parts they replaced started leaking because it was faulty. When I called them up they had no problem honoring the warranty. The problem was that I had just moved to Portland and couldn't make it back up to Bellevue. So Dave drove the new part down to me and they paid another shop to fix it. I'll never be able to get that kind of service anywhere else. I only wish I used Auto Dynamix sooner. Thanks, guys! read more

I own a BMW 5 series. I love the way it drives when it's running well and I've been a fan of the brand for over 20 years. I wouldn't own anything else. Of course, when things go wrong, I shudder because repairs can be expensive and tedious. I had my first experience with Khea and Auto Dynamix a few months ago, much by chance, when my water pump broke. I did a little online research and since the shop isn't too far from where I work, I decided to have the car towed. Khea and his crew were honest, fast and very knowledgable. And did I say nice to boot? Even the repair cost came in under what I expected. Since then, I've had routine maintenance performed and a tail light assembly installed. The level of service has been no different -- top quality work on my BMW at a reasonable price. Khea has made me realize that "BMW" need not mean "Bring My Wallet" for good, honest service with a smile. I will continue to do business with Khea and Auto Dynamix and recommend you give the shop a try when your car needs its next repair or oil change. read more

I was pleasantly impressed by quality of service and focus on customer satisfaction at start. However later I found couple of things which disappointed me : 1) After service at Auto Dynamix which included oil change and tire rotation I found that my steering wheel is skewed to right side a little bit. I didn't pay much attention to that at start. Though car is not as stable on highway as it used to be. So I decided to check it at another service - they found that wheels are misaligned and there are few fresh marks at places where you adjust alignment. 2) My car had issue with cooling fan. Auto Dynamix advised to replace fan control unit. Price tag for parts and labor is $725. Ouch. Independent mechanic found that one wire was disconnected from that fan controller. He reconnected it and fan now works as expected. I don't wanna blame anyone but most probably will service my car at some other places/mechanics. read more

"What do you have in your wallet?" should be the slogan here. After reading all of the great reviews on Yelp, I decided to bring my new-to-me truck here because it wasn't running quite right. I wanted them to diagnose the problem (they said an hour) and to swap out plugs, cap, rotor and wires...$300 for about $100 in parts (ouch!) but I figured it was there and they'd be able to give me a good diagnosis of what else may be wrong so I approved that. Then I got a call for a quote of almost $300 to replace a MAP sensor - it's a $45 part and requires 2 screws and plugging in a hose. A 5 minute job at most. I told them no since I'd already tried that repair myself and it didn't correct my problem. Told them to wrap it up and I'd pick it up. They ended up reducing their charge to $200 for the plugs and wires which was a nice gesture, but... I ended up taking it to Kirkland Autoworks. Turned out to be the engine computer, a $100 part. The computer wasn't putting out ANY diagnostic codes so I have no idea how Auto Dynamix determined (guessed) that the MAP sensor had failed. Also found out that one of the wires was improperly connected to the plug and 3 weren't tightened properly. I would personally not go back to Auto Dynamix. If you have a good mechanic, stick with him/her. Many shops will overcharge because they can get away with it. read more

I took my truck to Auto Dynamix to have it's regular maintenance check-up. I also chose Auto Dynamix due to the 5 star yelp ratings. My truck is pretty new still and in good shape. Five days after Auto Dynamix serviced my vehicle the battery died. I tried jump starting it and the battery would not hold the charge. We thought it might be an alternator problem, because nothing was left on that would have drained the battery. We took the truck back to the dealer, because I did not want to go back to A.D. Well it turns out the battery had been going bad. They also ran a computer diagnostic check on the truck (which is standard for them to do) to make sure their were no other problems with any electrical drains which were causing the battery to die prematurely. Point being, if I had gone to the dealer in the first place they would have caught the low battery level readings when they ran their diagnostic testing and I would not have had to deal with my car stalling on the road. It could have been prevented with a new battery replacement at time of service. A month prior to this incident I had taken my other car a Mercedes in for it's regular routine check-up at an independent Mercedes service garage and they told me my battery was reading low. I had them replace the battery. For now it's back to the dealer for have our truck's routine servicing. I feel more comfortable knowing that at least the dealer has the appropriate tech-equipment to run a more extensive and sensitive diagnostic testing. I usually do not like dealership garages, but this incident has me rethinking how I look at them. read more

How rare is it to see an auto repair shop with consistently 5 stars, but it's true! These guys are amazing. Super flexible, always available, reasonably priced, efficient, and genuinely helpful. I started going there to swap out winter tires but will start servicing my Acura there as well! read more

I just moved from New Jersey. I checked Yelp for honest and reputable auto service for Lexus. Thanks to customer reviews from Yelp, I chose AutoDynamic. It is the best place if you want to do service for your car. These guys really know Toyota machines inside out! They are honest and reliable. They clearly explained to you about your car condition and give you fair suggestions. Also, the service cost is very reasonable. It is very hard to find a good place to do service for your car. Thanks Yelp reviews, make it easier. read more

Being highly disappointed in official dealership's service, I started to service my Toyota at Auto Dynamix and love it! They do a great job keeping my car running and flawless, and they don't sell me unnecesarry repairs (thank you! Hard to find quality). I like the quality of work, that they put in good parts, keep my car neat, and that I feel welcomed and comfortable. The only thing I don't like there is wheels alignment. Other than that - 5 stars. Thank you, guys, for what you are doing. read more

Wow, Wow, Wow!!! I was blown away by their service in this day and age of auto repair. Here's my story (long one, but important to explain the situation): My car had been leaking coolant, and I was given an estimate to replace the water pump by another service center that was close to my home. However, I had used Auto Dynamix 3 years ago for a 90K service where they had done a bunch of maintenance stuff, including replacing the water pump. So I decided to check with them if this was something they would rectify. I called Khea at Auto Dynamix and explained the situation to him. He said they had a 15,000/1 year warranty on their work, but he was very empathetic, and even though had done the work 3 years ago he asked me to bring the car in so they could verify there was a leak. I took the car to them and on confirming the problem, he said he'd be willing to work something out with me. He commented that he was a "fair person", and offered for me to pay half of the repair costs, while he would cover the rest. I was pleasantly surprised, and it really sounded like a *very* fair quote. So I took the car to him on Friday (Oct 16) in the morning for the repairs and he had someone drop me in downtown Bellevue where I work. He told me he'd come and pick me up when the repair was done later in the day. When I called around 2:00 p.m. that afternoon, they were still working on the car, so I waited till about 4:00 p.m. to check with them again. I got Khea on the phone, and he didn't have good news for me. He said there was some other service light coming on, which may have been due to his technician not replacing that particular part properly, or it may be damaged. So he'd have to get a new part, and I wouldn't be able to get my car back till Monday noon. I was a bit irritated because I had a business trip scheduled for next week, and I also would need to now take a bus to go home on Friday evening after work. I was on the bus going home on Friday, when Khea again called me around 5:30 p.m. or so, saying they had managed to get the new part and the car repaired. So he could come and pick me up from my office. I told him I had already got on the bus, so he said if I wanted, I could come on Saturday (next day) as his partner Dave, who manages their Car Upholstery service at the same location would be there till noon. I decided to do that, as I needed to car next week. So after running a few errands on Saturday morning with my wife, we got to Auto Dynamix, and Dave saw us, waving us in. When we entered, with a smile on his face he told us the entire service was free, because of the inconvenience they had caused me. I was deeply touched, and didn't know what to say. Suffice to say, I was so thankful to Khea, Dave and Auto Dynamix, knowing good and wonderful people still exist in this world. May good karma always be with you guys, your families and your business. You have my business in the future. Melroy read more

Took my 1985 Jeep CJ7 in after the power steering pump line ruptured and the pump went bone dry, something I thought for sure required replacing. Not only were they able to salvage the pump but Khea could see the high pressure line was routed in a way that had it too close to the radiator. They rerouted the line way more sensibly, a customized job, and ended up charging me at least half of what I'd get charged any other place. Finding a shop that you can trust isn't always easy. I'd say they're trustworthy. read more

They are both great. I took my car in with a cylinder misfiring and they got me in same day. They even had to overnight a part and got me in the next day also. Price was good too. I'll be going back. read more

Horrible customer relationship. Overpriced. Take your car somewhere else. Never bring your car here unless you got unlimited amount of time and money to spend on a simple repair read more

I found these guys based on their really high Yelp reviews and it's well deserved. I just had my car aligned and I can say without a doubt that the car drives tangibly better than it did before. Every time I take my car here for service, I am more impressed than my previous visit. This is the only mechanic that I'll take the family's cars to for service. read more

These guys are my new go-to shop. Working with Khea and team is straight forward and honest. My 99 Tacoma badly needed some work done after a few years of neglect. A week later my little old pickup is good as new if not better! Stoked on how everything turned out and will be stopping by with all my future auto repair needs. Also had them check out a car I was thinking of buying off Craigslist... they even took the time to show me under the car while they were inspecting it. I trust these guys for fair treatment & advice. Check them out! read more

I've now been to Auto Dynamix twice for tires changes/repair. They are EXCELLENT. Friendly, honest (Khea told me he could remove and patch a nail in one tire when I already had a new set delivered to their shop because I thought it wasn't possible - saved me $$$$$), comfortable waiting room with couch/table/chairs/coffee, and WIFI. They're certified by the ASE and many car manufacturers. I have an expensive sports car and will continue bringing it here. PS: i signed up for Yelp just so I could post this review. read more

First off, this place is not visible on the street so look up the "street view" on directions before going to prevent getting lost. It is all the way in the rear of the plaza. I took my car in for a charging system checkup and oil change and the 5 stars are for Khea. I had previously talked with him on the phone about the problem I was having and immediately noticed that he has excellent service. He spent the time to talk with me about the problem with my car even though he could have just charged me to take the car into his shop. I ended up taking it there anyway so that he could see it and at least have them change my oil to give them some business. When I went there, Khea had to go out to run some errands. My car was worked on and completed before he got back. When I got home, I noticed that oil was coming out of the engine bay and wondered what it was. I opened the hood and saw that they did not wipe off the oil when they were done with the job. That seems like a sloppy habit but I don't mind wiping some oil off, they were probably busy with other cars. Then, I got irritated--it seems that the technician that worked on my car broke my engine heat shield and decided to not tell me about it. Did they think that they could get away with it because they thought that I wouldn't look under the hood?! I immediately called Khea back and was reaffirmed that it was an anomaly, he told me that kind of service is definitely not acceptable. He asked me to bring the car back so that he could meet me personally and have a look at it so instead of going back to work, I immediately brought the car back. Upon arrival, he told me that he had spoken with the technician that worked on my car and he claimed that it was "already broken". Are you kidding me? How can I expect someone with no sense of responsibility or honestly to do a good job on my vehicle? How do I know that he did not half-ass everything he did? Khea sided with me and said that he had already ordered the part after I had got off the phone with him. Now I just need to take time off work again to go back. Overall, I'm pleased with the service. I know that shops make mistakes and was glad that I chose Auto Dynamix. I gave Khea a chance to make things right and he corrected the mistakes. If it was another shop, they would have probably left me in the dark. I recommend to only go there when Khea is there to supervise, I don't trust the Techs very much other than Tony, he seemed to be a stand-up guy. Either that or ask to them to let you watch while they work on your car. If they refuse, then you know something is wrong. read more

I get my car serviced here couple times a year. Oil change, brakes, etc. All the maintenance stuff. They are honest, up front, reliable and do good work. All the things you want from an auto shop. Highly recommended! read more

I'm definitely coming back. Just went here yesterday to get my car checked for emissions. Turned out that I didn't need any work on my car and the mechanic said I could leave without having to pay. I'm impressed with their honesty, professionalism and friendliness. Plus they have a really sweet old black lab who greets you at the door! read more

We stumbled on this place (via yelp) when our normal mechanic had about a 2 week wait. We were pleasantly surprised. What a great experience. Great job, good price. We met the owner and talked with him personally. Got to meet and pet his dog that is the "shop mascot". This is our new go-to place for any automotive work. They were as good as our normal place, but prices are better. read more

My 5 stars for Auto Dynamix (Khea). What a good experience! Great customer service, Honest, talented, reliable and quality work. I've brought my car for 90K service and they've done execellent job. I will definitely be using them for any future tune ups and oil changes. Also recommend to my friends... - Gandhi read more

When my car had intermittent stalling and breakdowns, Khoa and Auto Dynamix got the issue diagnosed right, explained the issue, and fixed it. It's truly an owner-proud, friendly business that cares about their customers and treating them fairly. Auto Dynamix is one of the best auto shops that I've visited based on their knowledge and ability to solve / diagnose complex automobile and vehicle issues, customer service ethic, and fair / honest pricing. I'd recommend them highly and I'll be back again! read more

These guys are seriously the best. They are affordable and honest. I had a concern about an oil leak and was prepared to pay a ton of money to fix t, but they said a screw was loose, and they tightened it for me -- and didn't charge me for their time and expertise. They're all really friendly, they don't treat me like an idiot because I'm a woman, and they have yummy candy in the waiting room! Ha :) thy also referred me to their next door neighbor to get my seat belt fixed when I needed it done quickly and they were booked up. Great company, I don't plan on taking my cars anywhere else! read more

Our trusted mechanic the last few years. We service 3 of our cars here. We found this place through Yelp reviews and the place and Khea are just as described by other reviewers. Highly recommended. read more

I only had a belt replaced and an oil filter changed but even with the small amount of work I felt like I was a valued customer. How often does someone introduce themselves and shake your hand when you come into their store?? Khea was great at communicating his recommendations of what needed to be done and I will certainly go back to him again (but hopefully not too soon). :) read more

Khea and the Auto Dynamix crew are incredibly professional, down to earth, work fast, and advise on what's best for their customers which is a win-win for the business and their customers. I know just enough about my cars to be dangerous, and Auto Dynamix never tried to slip something past me to gain a buck. They came highly recommended to us, and we'd pass along the same praise to any of our friends! read more

We got a new Yukon so we needed to find a reputable shop and after reading the other reviews we went to Auto Dynamix. We called earlier for a quote and were very surprised and happy with the 50K quote. It was at least a few hundred less than the dealer we called. I arrived right when they opened and they gave me a ride back to work. My car was done in one day as promised and they made a few recommendations but weren't pushy at all! Khea was very nice and personable. We are going back to get some of those recommendations...to be continued- The only thing is they were a little hard to find at first as they are back off the road in the back strip of business park. read more

Went in to put some new shoes on my Subaru Impreza and was pleasantly surprised with how personable and down to earth Khea was. I have to admit that I'm generally weary of auto repair shops and intimidated because I don't know a ton about cars, but I didn't get the feeling that I was being taken advantage of. Upon payment, Khea let me know that my brakes were on their last leg of life (which I was definitely aware of) and gave me a quote on the spot. In fact, I just made my appointment to fix those bad boys! I'll be going back here as long as I keep receiving such awesome client service! read more

Khea (hopefully spelled it right) has excellent customer service skills. He is friendly and makes you feel comfortable. That being said, these guys are pros and do great work for a fair price. I have come here for several repairs and will come back again! read more

I've been bringing my car to Auto Dynamix since Khea left Lexus of Bellevue in 2004. The service has always been great, the quality of work excellent and they are really great people to work with. I've recommended them to many friends over the years and continue to do so today. read more

Khea and is crew are awesome! I took my 1998 Ford F150 in for a check and oil change. I knew there were a bunch of things wrong but Khea was very conservative with what needed to be done and what could wait for another 5 - 10k miles. The service was done well and within budget. Very good service! read more

charged me $1700 for a timing belt, appeared friend, but in doing this job, created other issue in my car that would surface a few months later, such as cracked oil dip plastic, fuel line torn loose, camshaft position sensor damaged. i call mobile mechanics these days to help, more than half the cost (they don't mark up parts either.) read more

Very friendly over the phone. I cancelled my appt for the oil change because I found something cheaper, closer to home AND they will vacuum out my car as part of the oil change. read more

Always a great experience when I take my cars there, Dave and Khea are very professional and my cars are in great running condition. Thanks guys! read more

I bought tires online and had them delivered here for installation. They were really nice and they did a great job on the snow tire install. I'll probably be back for a cat back exhaust I'm eyeing... read more
