These guys have earned my trust time and time again. In reality this is the only shop around that does not BS with you and will get things done. Good value and great communication. I have continued going them despite living farther away. If you have a subaru, you NEED to check them out. If you have other makes, you still NEED to give em a try. Best around. read more

Flat 4 Automotive - Front of the shop. - Auto Repair Near Me - Olympia, Washington

Absolutely the best non-dealership auto shop I've ever dealt with. As good as it gets customer service. Zero sketchy vibes from this owner and crew. Knowledge and workmanship appear tiptop, especially when it comes to Subaru (OEM parts only). I was referred by the owner of Quality Muffler and Brake who also does fantastic work. So glad. This is my new auto service spot. Highly recommended as of this post read more

I had to get a tune up and replace my catalytic converter for my Subaru crosstrek. Nick and Chris were responsive and thorough with what needed to be done and why. I appreciate the quality of service and their knowledge. Chris worked pretty quickly on all the services that I needed. I did pay a hefty amount for what needed to be done but I want to drive my car for at least up to 200k and trust their recommendation. There is a reason why this business has five stars and they are trustworthy. read more

Here's the deal.. I don't want to know these guys so well, but I went ahead and got a good deal on a car. Bad thing is, this car had some problems. Since the first time I gave Nick, Chris and his crew a ring to get some help with some issues (that became major), I've been treated with respect and they have shown some true customer service. When they say they are gonna do something, they do it. That could be calling back, getting a part in the timeframe they said, or completing a major repair quicker than they quoted. I appreciate the consistency and thoughtfulness these guys show their customers. I would recommend them to anybody in Olympia looking for a trustworthy, kind, and thoughtful crew. read more

Nick and his team have been taking care of all of our vehicles since shortly after his shop opened. They have always been honest and straight forward, taking the time to answer any questions or explain anything that I don't understand. As a female, it has been challenging to find a shop that didn't talk down to me or try to take advantage of me. Nick and his crew have always been incredibly helpful, respectful and kind. They are all extremely knowledgeable and skilled at their trade. They go above and beyond to provide the best customer experience every single time I'm in their office. I will never, ever consider taking my cars anywhere else. My business will stay with Flat 4 for life. read more

These guys are TOP NOTCH! They replaced an engine in our 86 VW vanagon with a new subaru one. The service was outstanding ,the engine works perfect, and the price was great. After a long and disappointing road with a previous shop, these guys got us back on the road, safely, and with 5 star customer service. We couldn't be more happy with the outcome. read more

Took my 2009 STI to Nick for initial inspection before purchase and found him and his team to be very honest, thorough and professional in their assessment of my vehicle. Since then I have taken it back for a number of performance part installs, maintenance and discussion for future modifications. Highly recommend this shop, can't go wrong with Nick and his team. read more

Flat 4 Automotive - My 2009 STI - Auto Repair Near Me - Olympia, Washington

This was second time there. Work required this time was more extensive. They diagnosed the problems (some of which were result of a different bad Subaru shop) and gave me a thorough estimate to fix everything. The price for parts and labor were very fair. Made appointment and car returned on time. Both Nick and Chris were friendly and helpful. Will always bring our Subaru to them. read more

Awesome people. Knowledgeable and hard working. Most importantly, trust worthy. Thank you.

Friendly to all. Have had my car to them a handful of times since moving here. Good service , great communication. Just a tad pricey.

So Nick and the team did it AGAIN , I have had work done on my 08 Toyota Tundra twice in one month, the first experience was so positive that' I had it back last week to install a lift level kit " shocks/Struts on it . I had purchased the kit from the manufacturer and his part was to install it .Well let's just say that the supplier was not as efficient and organized as Flat 4 . Parts were for another vehicle the second shipment had missing parts ect . Finally got all the right stuff and they installed it .Truck looks great performs better than when new ! Thanks again Nick ,Chris and the entire team for making me a very happy truck owner ! Merry Christmas . read more

Got a Subaru? This is the place to take it!! They have outstanding customer service, super reliable, and informative. They specialize in Subarus and I know I can trust them to help fix any problems I run into and for modifications. All the staff is super nice and they're affordable, they're not their to just get a sale off of you. Highly recommend them!! read more

Limped into their lot towing a travel trailer with wife and kids on board while en route to the ocean for a weekend camping trip. Spoke with owner/operator Nick and Shawn who quickly located the issue. At that time their bays were full and all their employees were busy at work. I was initially doubtful if they would be able to address the issue with my truck any time soon due to the volume of work their employees were focused on. To my surprise Nick immediately got on the phone, ordered the part needed and had it delivered within a very short period of time. Nick and Shawn both worked together getting my truck up, running, and back on the road in just over two hours after I initially pulled into their lot. The trip to the ocean is an annual Mother's Day tradition with my family, and I was fearful we would have to cancel or postpone it due to the issues with my truck. My family and I are very grateful to the professionalism and quality of work Nick and his employees provided us. I believe if we had encountered the same situation and dealt with another business, they would have been hard pressed to have met the level of service Flat 4 Automotive showed us, let alone get us back on the road in just over two hours. My only regret is that their shop is a fair distance from our home town of Eatonville, otherwise they would be my number one go to place for care care. Thank you Flat 4 Automotive for keeping our tradition intact! William from Eatonville read more

To make a long story short I'll say this , if your thinking about bringing your car here Subaru or not , DO IT !. Nick and his crew are some of the most thorough and transparent guys around , they are always going above and beyond on all the service they provide , every time I've brought my 2002 wrx through the shop doors I've always left feeling very certain that my vehicle has been worked on and examined by some of the best around , they are always quick to answer and find a solution as well as educate you on what may be going on under the hood , there has been plenty of times where Nick has pointed things out to me that I didn't even ask to be inspected just to make sure I know my car as well as they do, phenomenal shop ! read more

Nick & his crew are outstanding. My vehicles are in competent hands whenever i bring them in. They all care & Flat4 does NOT overcharge. I really appreciate their honesty and consistent care & professionalism. Keep up the great work! read more

Great and courteous service! I had a nagging brake problem that I expected to pay a big price to fix. I pulled in without an appointment, they immediately checked the brakes and told me the pads were good all around. They found the problems (a broken connection) and fixed it without charge. These guys are good and they know Subaru cars!!! read more

It was Friday afternoon when the Owl van broke down near Castle Rock, WA. Every mechanic shop in the countryside was about to close down for the weekend, and that doesn't work when you're a touring band with gigs to make. We had to get to Olympia, so we had the van towed to a shop I randomly found on the internet, a shop that would be open at 8am on Saturday morning. Bright and early the next day, i went in and met Nick, who was friendly, very helpful, and diagnosed the problem quickly. The whole ordeal was finished within a matter of hours, and for a very reasonable price. If I am in need of a mechanic in Olympia ever again, I will return to Flat 4, and I suggest you do the same! read more

I would absolutely recommend Flat 4 Automotive to every and anyone that needs auto repairs . We had engine damage that required a new engine. Nick went above and beyond to search for a replacement engine. The experience was hands down the best I have ever had with an auto mechanic. Nick stayed below budget, had excellent communication and the car was done within days. Flat 4 and Nick far exceeded any expectations we had regarding repairs. We will be doing all of our Subaru maintenance and repairs at Flat 4. read more

The owner is a terrific and honest individual who always helps with every issue I've had with my car. Highly recommended.

Had a catalytic converter going out in my Toyota Tacoma. After visiting Flat 4 Automotive I ended up saving over $800 from the dealer quote. The repair was perfect! I highly recommend this place! read more

Had an excellent experience with Flat 4 Automotive. My wife's Jeep needed a quick wiper fluid line repair that I didn't have the experience or tools to do, namely because the inner hood cover was attached and we were tearing at it. The worker greeted us when we came in and gave us a quick $50 estimate. We had a few errands to run and by the time we were done the Jeep was ready. We were only charged $35 for the service. I then asked about my Hyundai Elantra battery, my car had to be jumped three times this past week. The worker said he'd take a look, so we went off again, this time for a coffee downtown. We got a call an hour later that the battery was working just fine and that they charged the battery for the hour. No payment necessary! read more

I have always changed the oil myself in my 31 year old Camry with over 308k miles. When we downsized this option was no longer available. So I had the oil and new oil filter and just wanted a basis oil change. Went to a Jiffy Lube with all the materials first and they said it would cost $53 plus tax. Ridiculous I said. Then I went to Flat 4 Automotive and was able to get in right away for a charge of $20 plus tax. Service was excellent and Nick was able get immediate info about vehicle details, recalls, etc. to make the service appointment more complete. I highly recommend this upcoming company.

If you need work done on your Subaru, or probably nearly any car, this is the place to go! I have had a fiat amount of work done by this shop. They went through my wrx with care and precision each time they had it. They've helped me diagnose problems with my car without charging. These are cool guys and definitely who you want working on your car! read more

I have had NOTHING but trouble with Subaru of Puyallup!!! It's as if they break things so you have to keep coming back. I asked my listeners (radio show) for a local recommendation and Flat 4 Automotive was highly recommended. This is a local shop, a great guy who runs it. He is honest and freaking amazing. He fixed my problem in no time and was totally open and honest. I will NEVER have my car serviced at a dealership again. Help the local guy and let's grow his business. You will be glad you found him. Thanks Nick and Scott!!! You guys rock. read more

I can't say enough good things about nick, what I will say is that nick gives you the honesty you need. super Professional, great business ethics and just a good guy all around. Most importantly he is super knowledgeable! I highly recommend! read more

Stopped by for some windshield wipers was greeted by the owner who seems to be an honest stand up guy, We live in Covington but I would definitely drive to Olympia for quality car care, Thanks Nick read more

Nick is awesome! Went to Flat4Automotive to get a second opinion on a misfire I had quoted at another shop. Nick confirmed the underlying issue, quoted me for less than the other shop, and was unbelievably accommodating. Kind, helpful, and professional; definitely recommend this shop above all others in Oly. read more

Excellent knowledge, honest opinion, and very reasonable pricing considering the top notch service I received. I would recommend this shop 10/10. read more
