I asked Zacks to drain, fill the oil, replace the oil and engine filters. I had already purchased an oil filter, engine filter and Luca oil additive. They quoted me a price of 150.00+tax. I thought it seemed a little high for an oil change but didn't know the going rate. I explained I wanted to donate the car and asked them to recommend any repairs that would be necessary. Upon receiving the car, they told me that the engine filter was not the correct type, so they could not install it. Fair enough but I assumed it would be taken off the bill since it wasn't installed. The harness wires needed to be cleaned, and 2 relays had to be replaced. It would be an additional 600 to 700 hundred dollars. I decided to donate the car anyway and let the Vets know what needed to be done. The car ran fine and cleaning the harness and replacing the relays would be up to them. Upon returning home, I realized I had left the new engine filter there. Before retrieving it, I called other auto shops and asked how much it would cost to drain and replace the oil and oil filter. (I had the oil filter) I was surprised to learn on the high end; it would cost around 85.00. I told them I had paid 150+tax (168.75) and was told for that price, the shop must have flushed the engine too. When I returned to Zacks to retrieve the engine filter, I asked if they had flushed the engine. The first person I asked said yes but his English was difficult to understand and he seemed unsure, so when the owner came with my engine filter, I asked again if the engine had been flushed and he said no. That I didn't ask for a flush, just to drain and refill. I agreed but said I called around and was told to drain and fill the oil would cost around 85.00. With a flush around 150.00. If they hadn't flushed it and didn't install an engine filter as agreed upon, I felt 150.00 was too much. That's when he went off the rails and literally started yelling. He said he didn't use cheap products and used Penzoil. He said if I wanted a flush, Liquid Molly cost 75.00 a bottle and I needed two bottles. I said I had bought engine additive and had compared it to Liquid Molly and Liquid Molly was only 21.00. Even with their mark up, how could they charge 75.00 a bottle? I argued since there was no flush and no installation of the engine filter, there should be a reduction in price. All he had done was drain, fill the oil and screw in the oil filter (I had brought) for 168.75. He said no. I said I felt taken advantaged of and told him I would be writing a review and it would not be a good one. He then called me a F--king B-tch and said I was a racist! He said because he was from a different country I thought I could get a cheap deal! I said that was absurd and I'd rather be a F--king B-tch than a f--king cheat. He said he was calling the police because I was a racist and leaned on my open car door to prevent me from leaving. I told him to get off the car, that he was welcome to call the police and I would let them know he had attempted to detain me. He relented and I drove off. Needless to say, I will not be returning. What an experience!

He identified that my rear brake pads needed to be replaced and let me see for myself. No BS -- he was truthful throughout the process. I had a lot of questions to make sure he was using quality and correct parts (e.g. oil filter was Mann, nice!) for my Mercedes van. (I got to be the annoying customer backed by advanced AI to make sure everything was above board and priced reasonably.) He was very patient and respectful. Really like the guy, as well as his worker -- great attitudes. Super quick work, and very reasonable labor costs for the quality of the work and timeliness. This is definitely my go-to auto shop from now on for all my needs. Highly recommended!

After getting quotes from places up in Bellingham, I found Pineda through yelp and gave them a call. They gave me a fair price and were even able to get me in the next day! I promptly scheduled with them and dropped my car off eith them. They were very friendly and were able to drop me off at a local Starbucks to wait for the repair to happen. It ended up taking a little longer than they had expected but they were great about keeping me informed about what eas going on and they were still able to complete it the same day. Despite the longer than planned repair, they honored their quoted price with me. This business felt very honest, fair, and were only concerned with doing the repairs correctly and making sure my vehicle was safe. I'd highly reccomend this business to anyone looking to get their vehicle repaired at a fair price with honest workers.

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!
