I came in feeling skeptical…read moreafter a bad experience with another local shop, but Toni and Brandon immediately made me feel at home. 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. It felt more like catching up with friends than sitting in a mechanic's lobby. They are 100% transparent. 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! (Side note: Enter the parking lot from Washington St to find them easily!)

I unfortunatelly got into an accident in my Civic, hitting the side of the freeway, which cracked…read morethe firewall on the passenger side. Caliber Collision deemed it a total loss and refused to work on it. I called around to several auto body shops in the Tacoma area, but all of them were either unwilling to take on that level of damage or also classified it as a total loss. My insurance wouldn't cover the repairs, so I was stuck paying out of pocket. I was nearly ready to scrap the car and buy a used one, until I found Matsenko Auto. I spoke with Mike, who was very friendly and provided updates throughout the entire process. After explaining the situation, they took my car in without hesitation. They assessed the damage quickly and assured me it was no problem for them to fix, which gave me the confidence I needed that the car was in good hands. To top it off, they quoted me a price significantly lower than the other shops I contacted. The repairs took about a month due to backordered parts, but now my car looks good as new. They even repainted the scratched areas in-house. This is a very professional shop that gave me a chance when no one else did. Would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Worth the commute to make sure to get 10/10 service! Thank you again!

Hello Scott Mathis here, an update to my last review. Was very satisfied with their work and was…read moretaken care of the next day. Just today April first I went by to inquire about a motor in my window the secretary there said she had an opening April 29th, bummer No can do on that one There is some nice weather coming up need that window going up and down. Anyway if you need something done right away that might not happen. That's too bad I was hoping they would be my go to mechanic that was right across the street but I guess I can only use them if it's not an emergency anddon't need it done now. That worked the last time but not this time. Scott

I guess I should have read more reviews about this place before I brought my truck in... You know…read moreyou're in trouble when you pick your vehicle up and the guy at the counter asks you after he collects your money "you know your check engine light is on right?" "Not when I brought it in" I said and was told that that's not their problem. They had done a diagnostic when I dropped the truck off and there's no mention of a check engine light. I brought it back in and they found that my glow plugs went out. "That happens all the time and we won't fix it for you unless you pay us" is what their mechanic Josh actually told me. Well it happened in their shop but I suspect it does happen quite a bit in there. So to sum it up be prepared to get your vehicle back in worse shape than when you brought it in and that you'll have to foot the bill for it.

My wife practically had to force money as a tip on the manager who helped us. I have had a lot of adventures with auto mechanics but this Bucky's has always been dependable and helpful. Fair pricing and honest. Really my best experiences with auto mechanics have been at this location. I can't speak for other Bucky's but this one is our go to when we need anything with our cars. There's also a really neat bowling alley across the street with a great restaurant and miniature golf. Many times in the past I have gone across the street to Tower Lanes to eat breakfast or throw a few games while the guys at Bucky's do their thing. Something to consider if you have a few hours to kill down there.

I returned to Cooper's Collision because they have an outstanding work ethic and are very detail oriented. On a close examination you can not see any evidence of the repairs they made. As close to perfect as anyone could get. I can't find a way to retract my earlier comments, but I sincerely hope this will set the record straight. Thank you everyone and high fives to Ray.

The first effort to reseal the leak worked for a while, but then didn't, so I took the car back for a second effort with a more specific notion of where the leak was located.

And with Jones' help and advice, I now know how to prevent its recurrence. Jones Auto Clinic in Tacoma seems to be very cued into customer service. Since both of my appointments there required them to spend more than just a few hours to get the work done right, they offered me a complementary ride back to my home and then delivered my car back to me in my driveway when the work was completed. WOW! That is Customer Service. Customer service and satisfaction are important to me, too. They didn't charge me for the second visit that I hope has fixed the problem I went in for initially, and I appreciate that, too. Thanks, Gaven and Luke and the rest of the Team at Jones Automotive Clinic in Tacoma. DW in Tacoma

After getting there, the guy that took the appointment wasn't even there, and the tech didn't even know I had an appointment. He's feverishly making phone calls and getting voicemails. I should have walked, but gave it a few minutes. Daniel at the front desk does not ask me what kind of oil I use, but did say I was not being charged for labor. The bill comes and guess what? I was charged for labor! They used synthetic oil, which I would not have chosen since it costs three times the amount. Total cost? $202 for a dang oil change! Next time I will get a Groupon and go somewhere else!
