After my second visit to Salmon's today I've noticed an audible hiss from my tire. Upon closer inspection, there is a crew embedded in the tire. Considering that this hiss developed after the inspection due to the fact that I hadn't noticed before and the center didn't notice it, the screw is mostly likely a result of something that happened while they were test drive the car for the inspection. read more

Excellent service at this location's Salmon's Service Center! I brought my car by for an impromptu oil change and they kindly squeezed me in that afternoon! I was even able to pick my car back up ahead of the estimated completion time. Great service, kind mechanics-- will definitely be back soon for my next car tune-up! They checked my brakes, tires, fluids. I'm very happy with the job they did so efficiently and meticulously. read more

Highly recommend Salmon's for any car maintenance and repairs you need. I've taken my car there for oil changes in the past and they've been fantastic at turning the service around quickly. More recently, I took my car there for a second opinion on what could have been a major repair and they determined that the dealership I went to was trying to upsell a service car earlier than needed. I appreciated Marty's honesty and I will definitely be going there in the future for both my vehicles. read more

Good customer service makes something as simple as an oil change worth going here. The guys come across as highly professional. I also like a "neighborhood car mechanic" feeling (for lack of a better term ). read more

Highly recommend this place for your car mechanical needs! Marty is amazing. He treats you with respect and definitely knows his way around an engine. Tough to find that combo. read more

Don't waste your time with them. After waiting a few days for my appointment, taking time off from work, they lost the appointment. No trying to fit me in they just kicked me to the curb and told me to reschedule. I did, at another shop. If they can't keep their appointments straight how good do you think they are fixing a car??? read more

These guys are life savers! Last week when my Audi Q5 began overheating, I was surprised to learn how difficult it is to take your car in for repairs during an emergency situation. The Audi dealerships were over a month out! What is a person to do when your car is not drivable?!?! Not only did Salmon Service Center find time in their busy schedule to take my car in to diagnose the issue, they also helped me by facilitating a rental car. Thank goodness they did because the root of the issue was bigger than first thought. Car emergencies are always stressful but Alex was so kind and communicative throughout the whole process. I so appreciated his honesty and transparency. You can feel that they genuinely care about their customers here. At a time when customer service is at an all time low it's refreshing to get this level of care, honesty and personalized service especially at an automotive center. They're for sure!!! This service center and their mechanics have definitely earned my trust and business! read more

Super nice neighborhood shop! Great folks work here - literally everyone I spoke with on the phone and in person was personable, helpful, and knowledgeable. I called to ask questions one day and was able to drop off the vehicle the next day. I spoke with two different people who worked here and I was impressed with them both. Work was done in a timely manner and ready when promised! Highly recommend them. If you can't pick up your vehicle by the time they close by 5 you can checkout and get your keys from the attendant for the Chevron until 10pm. I will be recommending these guys to everyone I know! read more

Had undercladding trouble on 520 this morning after a bad experience with an agressive speed bump. I was able to make it to Salmon's at 65th in the hopes that they could take a look and ensure that the car was safe to drive. Francisco was able to get my car on the lift right away secure the undercladding which had been torn away and verify that no wiring or brake lines had been damaged much faster than I expected. Great customer service!!! read more

Excellent. Honest, fair and very professional. Marty is a Gem. Best place to have your vehicle serviced in Seattle.

The woman working the counter in the convenience mart area is the sweetest. Always good energy and a smile on her face and willing to help you out! I come back just for her. read more

Absolutely disgusted with the lack of interest in customer care and service. I called for an estimate to have my transmission fluid filled on my Audi due to a leak. I was told that if I wouldn't let him fix the leak he "wasn't interested in filling the fluid". The LAST person I want working on my vehicle is someone who's bottom line is their bank account and not a single care twords the safety or interests of the customer. And just in general, if you're not interested in doing the work I NEED for $20, No way I'm going to let YOU do the work you WANT to do for $2ooo. This shop is a perfect example of why people don't trust mechanics. Gross... read more

Just finished having a head gasket replacement and power-steering rebuild on my 2005 Subaru wagon at Salmon's in Ravenna. Alex was in charge. He is a great guy to work with, and carefully explained all the work to be done and what it would cost, about $5,000. He also replaced the timing belt, and a variety of hoses and wire sets. Car came in at budget, and on time. The steering is very tight now, and the car drives like a sports car. Salmon is also very careful about the Covid, Alex explained the precautions, and there is a plexiglas-shield in the office to minimize chance of infection. I have also had good experiences with Darnell and Marty. Highly recommend the garage and the people. read more

I needed some basic car services after a long drive from California, and called Salmon's. Their phone system was a bit of a mess, and the location I called was not the same location that answered. I asked if I needed an appointment, and the receptionist said no, they're not busy, just come on by anytime. When I arrived, first thing the next morning, the mechanic on duty said they were already booked until afternoon. This first impression was slightly annoying, but I get it -- small business, Covid era -- and everyone I spoke to was very friendly and professional. Not long after I left, Phil Salmon (presumably the owner, and great PNW name btw), contacted me directly and apologized for the mixup. When I returned in the afternoon, the same mechanic -- sorry, I forgot his name -- took care of my car quickly and professionally. I will definitely come back to Salmon's for oil changes, tune ups, repairs (hopefully none), etc. Thank you Mr Salmon and team! read more

I stopped in to Salmon's today because I was looking for a gas station with good service in my mother's neighborhood that she could go to. She has encountered rudeness at other stations a couple of times lately and it has been stressful for her. Boy, did Salmon's pass the test! I went in to pay so I could interact. An employee had just walked out the door. HE TURNED AROUND AND OPENED THE DOOR FOR ME. At a gas station! I thanked him and he said, If you need anything, I'll be over here. (At the service bay.) Then the young man at the cash was very pleasant and nice. The inside area was clean, pleasant and organized. I told my mom this is definitely her place. read more

My second time at Salmon's I had Johnathan as the mechanic. I had to scrap my transmission and replace it - neither one of us was happy with this news but he made it such an easy process for me and called periodically to keep me updated. I appreciate all the work he did, and it was a lot! I'll always recommend the crew at Salmon's. read more

Asked the short, white, bald guy with glasses here for some assistance and he was as rude as can be... Taking my business elsewhere. read more

My car broke down at the pump for 30min. The service man rudely yelled at us to get out of his parking lot (despite us buying food from their store). No reason to speak to us in such a mean tone of voice. Obviously if my car was working I wouldn't be stuck at the pump. Kindness goes a long way. read more

Salmon's takes the time to truly understand what's going on with your car, even if it's not readily apparent. They repaired my water pump, identified a problem with the intake manifold, and also identified that my car had been in a unreported accident. Compared to the dealers, they are a dream to work with. They stand behind their work, and all three mechanics I worked with took the time to explain exactly the problem and solution. read more

My truck broke down on a Sunday morning while on the road. Aaron and the team at Salmon did a great job getting me going again. I would go there again in a minute! Fair price, fine work and explained everything clearly,. Thank you! read more

This auto shop save our vacation. I called 6 different tire shops all were either closed or I would have to drop off my car for a tire repair. Aaron and Brad were great with helping us fix our tire and getting in and out in less than 30 minutes. I really appreciate the help! read more

My son had a flat on a Sunday and was having trouble finding anything open. I found Salmon's on Yelp, Aaron answered the phone and said he could fit us in. Luckily the tire only needed a patch and the problem was solved within an hour of calling. We will be back! Thanks :) read more

Thanks to Marty for being able to squeeze in our request for service for our Subaru Forester before an upcoming road trip. We needed new brake pads, and our air conditioning wasn't working properly. Marty was able to take care of both and went out of his way to even wash our windshield and replace the wiper blades that were on their last leg. Thanks as always to Marty! read more

Im a brain cancer survivor and the part of my brain that is most damaged since treatment is the spatial awareness area. Normally I'm fine, but some days I have a harder time than others, especially in judging the distance between small spaces. I stupidly miscalculated today and hit my mirror against something, popping off the top of the plastic part. I was feeling really ashamed and worried and called this shop to see if they could help. They told me to come in right away and they'd take a look at it. They were able to fully fix it within seconds and didn't charge me for the repair. I didn't get to tell them this, but their lack of judgment and speedy support meant the world to me, given the reason for the mistake. Thank you so much for your kindness and help. read more

A few weeks ago, I pulled into Salmon's because my tire pressure light was on and I had a long commute to work ahead of me. I was in a rush and frantically looking for the air station. Although I don't know his name, one of the people who work there ran out and asked what he could do to help. I explained the situation and without hesitation he said, "I'll take care of it." He then proceeded to check the air pressure of each tire and add air as needed. When I asked what I could pay him, he waved his hand and told me to have a great day. I will definitely be returning here for all of my car maintenance needs. Thanks, y'all! read more

Came to Salmon Service Center to put air in my bike tire and was treaded horrible. Cashier was very rude and disrespectful. I was disappointed because I can here before and had no problems! read more

Maybe my experience was a total fluke, but this is how it went down. I called one morning to see if I could bring my car in for an oil change, as I work 3 blocks away. They said sure so I went and dropped it off on a break around noon. I work til 6:30, so I asked what time they were open til. The guy in the garage said the garage closed before that, but the gas station would be open til 8pm. I said great, I'll just walk down after work. Around 5pm, they called my work to say my car was ready but it needed a fair amount of work, somewhere in the $3,000 area. I said ok and I'd be down when I got out of work. At 6:30, I walked down and not only were the garage and gas station closed, but my keys were locked inside. So I had no car and had to wait for over an hour til someone could come pick me up. The next morning my roommate drove me to the garage. I went in to talk to them and expressed how frustrated and annoyed I was. The guy I talked to the day before told me that he never said the gas station was open til 8pm, which is exactly what he did tell me. I felt that I was extremely inconvenienced and deserved some sort of discount. I don't adhere to the belief that the customer is always right, in most cases we aren't, but in this case a little empathy on the part of the garage would've been nice. Especially knowing that I potentially could bring them my car that needed a few thousand dollars in repairs. Knock $5 or $10 off my bill and you'd have a loyal customer. I wasn't looking for a hand out or to not pay anything, but offering me something off would've been the classy way to go. Instead they refused to accept ANY blame for what had happened and insisted I pay the full amount because they put the time in. Apparently my time waiting around for a ride cause they locked my keys in their building was worth nothing. Good to know. I'll be going anywhere else from now on. Again, this was my experience and maybe it was a total fluke, but it happened. Take that for what you will. read more

During my morning commute, right as I was about 100 yards away from Salmon's, I ran over something--perhaps a rhinoceros skull. Whatever that thing was, it left a slice in my rear-left tire as wide as my pinky finger is long. I limped my car into their garage. Within about 15 minutes, I was back on the road to work. But let's unpack that 15 minutes: diagnosis of problem, tire removal. Friendly, fast service. And they wouldn't take payment! But I have to confess: I'd had car repairs done here about 10 years ago. Same high standards, friendliness. But back to the present, if you get a very flat tire, try to get it around 2424 NE 65th St. read more

Ok... This is a Chaveran Gas station too! I was driving gas to the bottom. I technically freaked out on the way here! When I saw this gas station, I felt like I was alive again! A Thursday afternoon, stuck in 520 traffic for a while. This place provided me what I needed!! read more

I've been impressed with this shop ever since a neighbor referred me. The first time I went AAA had told me that I needed a new battery and had some serious issues. A mechanic was able to fix whatever mystery issue existed in under 45 minutes. They kindly welded my tail pipe on when it was coming loose and fit me in. I'm going back again next week to have them do my struts. This is a great group of hard working men who do good quality work and who are just plain nice. Highly recommend. :) read more

My boyfriend and I were ecstatic with the service provided by Marty at the U-District location. I had an ongoing issue with my Nissan Maxima that another shop couldn't fix/couldn't even find what the real problem was. He was super polite, really fast, and due to a hiccup in the fixing process was really great about working around my schedule. My boyfriend, who has been putting off getting his old Nissan fixed because he doesn't trust any mechanics plans on bringing it here. I would definitely recommend! read more

On a otherwise gorgeous Seattle summer day, the starter on my car crapped out. After much hemming and hawing, I finally got it towed to the closest, open AAA preferred repair shop. It so happened to be Salmon's Service Center. I had already had one encounter with the service center (had an almost flat tire, and they checked it out and filled it for free when I stopped randomly to get gas one day) so I was optimistic for good results, but cautious nonetheless. They were very clear with me about when they would do an estimate and checking with me before any work was done. They were very clear about the timeframe that it would take, and because they re a gas station, pick up and paying was very simple. I dropped it off on a Saturday afternoon, and they promised to look it over and let me know by the next afternoon. (Yes...they are open on Sundays). I received a all as promised the next ay, and was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable cost of parts and labor, as well as the reasonable time frame for repairs. It has been three weeks since my work was done and I'm feeling pretty good about the entire experience. read more

Open on Sunday! A screw that would have caused a flat tire for Monday's morning commute was removed and patched within 5 minutes with no wait. Great service. read more

The ONLY place I will ever take my car! Marty (the owner) is the best. Trusty, reliable, and honest with you. When my old car broke down he checked it out and straight up told me it probably wasn't worth fixing- instead of charging me $400 to replace the radiator, and didn't even charge me for looking at it. The car broke down because I got cheap on the oil change and took it to a jiffy lube and they put some leak stop stuff that Marty said made it overheat and blew the radiator. Lesson learned. read more

Jon did a Sunday morning tire repair for me. He was extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this shop. Thanks Jon? read more

Can't say enough good things about our experience with Aaron at Salmon's Service Center. My daughter's brakes failed on a Saturday night. Called Salmon's at 8am on Sunday (yes - a service center that is OPEN on a Sunday!), Aaron not only squeezed in looking at her car on Sunday, but had the car repaired and ready by 9am on Monday morning. Every other service center had waits of OVER a week to bring the car in. If you want AMAZING service by people that are RESPONSIVE and thoroughly explain what was wrong with your car - go see Aaron at Salmon's! We will be customers for life. SO glad we found you guys! THANKS!!! read more

I stoped by to have my lights checked, and they are really nice to stop by and did a quick check.

Floyd! Took my car in last week for a check engine light. Did some repairs, was upfront about cost. Let me know I still had more parts needed to be changed out. Left the shop with the repairs. Floyd contacts me to tell me to bring the car back in and that he would change out a $200 part with no additional costs. He did not need to do this. Guy went above and beyond. No better customer service. read more

I just had my 2006 Toyota Corolla repaired at Salmon's on 25th NE. The work was completed on time with a thorough explanation of the work done, Mass Air Flow Sensor. I am very pleased with the outcome. Marty gave me his opinion early yesterday and called with the results early this morning. He explained everything in a manner a non-mechanic could understand at age 81. Margaret read more

I've had nothing but very good experiences with Salmons (the one at 65th and 25th NE) over the years. We have been taking our various vehicles here since the '80's. Marty has been a gem of a technician for years, and has kept my 2004 Honda running beyond my expectations. James was also super knowledgeable, pragmatic, fair and honest in his evaluation of my starter problem recently. I have never felt like I was pushed into something that was unnecessary. Basically fair, honest and as good as it gets for a neighborhood service center. I would not hesitate to recommend them. read more
