Very first time I went here was to get a second opinion on a laundry list of "issues" from a repair…read moreshop I used to trust. No 1 Japanese Auto could have also tried to take advantage of a non-gearhead like myself. Instead Tony pointed out a fraction of a fraction of the issues that other place mentioned (10 months later, my car is still running fine). Another time took my car in because my breaks were squeaking/grinding in very specific conditions. Even when I called Tony said "we didn't see you that long ago, but better safe than sorry." After inspecting, he said my breaks don't need replacing yet, but maybe by the time for my next oil change. I figured I'd at least pay for the labor of looking. But when I picked it up -- nope! No charge. Tony is a real one.

Found Tony after my then current repair shop turned from small business to large business. Turning to large business the shop lost all the good customer service they gave. Tony was a great find, called my car "classic" and was happy to chat about my car. Called today to schedule an oil change, had not heard back from him from a VM I left 3 days ago. I spoke to him today, he flatly said, " I don't work on old cars anymore ". I asked him not even for an oil change? He said no, too hard to get parts. Ok- it's certainly his choice to not work on certain cars because of his ability, but be aware that his shop doesn't work on whatever he deems as "old". When electric and newer cars that require computers to diagnose and repair become the norm, places like Tony's will be considered "old" and fall out of need.

I knew I needed a brake job and an oil change, but with a 200k mile Volvo, it could use more. I stopped by and spoke with David and his son. David gave me a realtime quote that was beyond fair. I had let David know that the car has quirks and other issues, but I was unwilling to fix them unless critical. I scheduled the appt, dropped my car off the day before, and got a call 10:30am the morning of my appt saying that the car was done and ready to be picked up. It came in $20 less than what was estimated. At no point did David and his team go fishing for problems (which certainly exist on a 200k mile Volvo).

I was quoted thousands of dollars, more than what my '08 Subaru is worth now, so I was seriously thinking of just selling it. Then I googled Ballard Muffler and I am SO glad I did! Omar scheduled me within a couple of days to inspect my car. All I needed was my heat shield fixed and while my exhaust system was rusty it was nowhere as dire as the other places had said. It still has a lot of life left as long as I don't drive it on salted roads in the winter. I had to do a double take and asked if he was really sure bc I was really expecting the worse. He told me he doesn't like to sell his customers things they don't need! So cool. If you have expensive quotes from other shops or dealerships, take your car to Omar and get his opinion. In a world of enshitiffication and greed, it's really nice to know there are still honest and trustworthy businesses and people, especially in Seattle. Thank you Omar!
