I can't begin to say how incredible they are…read more Hard to find a place that is willing to work on classic cars, let alone with the level of experience and care you will find here. Pricing and turnaround is reasonable, probably better than you will find anywhere else. They have done serious engine repair for me, exhaust install, brake work, metal panel repair, alignment, transmission work, the list goes on and on... If you have a classic car, you know how much it means to you. Don't take it anywhere else, this is your shop.

There is a reason you see other reviews for this shop that have customers that have been coming to them for years! The labor rates are reasonable and they take the time to explain, and show you the issue. They're HONEST, and are not going to sell you a bunch of extra services you don't need, and they actually care about the work they do. I can tell you these things with the utmost confidence. I'm not a mechanic by any means, but I am mechanically inclined and can do some repairs myself. The hours of labor they quoted for the the repair were done by the actual amount of time it took them to do the job. Pricing for the parts were normal, but also, the quality of those parts were obvious. They were not some cheap junk, and there wasn't a huge markup like you're going to find with someone else.They have integrity, and that is a very rare trait in the automotive industry these days. Trust the reviews! I did, and they didn't disappoint! One very happy customer. Thank you guys! :)

Privately owned auto repair shop with honest experts who repair and maintain most cars. Their…read moreservices are reasonably priced and they also offer military discounts. Their technicians do a great job of diagnosing problems and keeping you well informed. I love that they will not try to up-sell you services that you don't need. They do what you ask and let you know if they find any additional problems that need to be addressed. Their waiting room is equipped with a restroom, cable TV, a children's play area, magazine rack and a table with chairs. Perfectly sufficient if you need to wait while your vehicle is being serviced. If you're looking for an honest repair shop with knowledgeable technicians and good prices, this is it!!!

Fortunately we had an electronic tire pump, so we were able to get to a tire place. I picked Gary's based on reviews and location. I was beyond impressed! They were friendly as heck and had our car in and out in about 25 minutes. We just took the dogs and walked over to a nearby coffee shop and had some coffee. We walked back and the car was done! And it was a good job--we went on to check out many places from Evergreen State to Point Defiance in Tacoma, feeling safe and secure the whole time. We are back home and all is dandy. I HIGHLY recommend Gary's for personal, friendly, and FAST work. Now I need to make those cookies I promised them...and send them! Oh--and there was no charge! Hence the promise of homemade shortbread cookies!

I went in with a nail in my tire, and they repaired it within 30 minutes. I was originally quoted $30, but when I tried to pay, I was waved away. A big fear with auto repair places is that they will try to take advantage of you with unnecessary repairs, hidden fees, or overcharging services, especially for women. That is NOT the case for this place! I will absolutely be coming back for any and all service my car will need in the future, and when it is time to replace my tires, I'll be back here as well!

Can you believe that? What a deal! Anyway I showed up first thing in the morning and they were already at work. I sat in the waiting room and they let us have the remote so we can pick whatever show we felt like and time went fast because I was only there for 30 minutes. While we were waiting I enjoyed the coffee from their Keurig. I handed the guy my punchcard and they marked off two oil changes, since they had given me full synthetic. I didn't know the difference and the guy who checked me in was a mechanic and not the regular office guy, so that's where the mistake was. That's okay though, lesson learned- make sure to ask for the synthetic blend. The punchcard lasts for two years, so I'm gonna get one for each of my cars because who can beat that deal?

I had a great experience with A1 Japanese Auto Repair and Jay, the owner…read more After getting a very high quote from the dealer for a water pump replacement on my Toyota Sienna, I brought the van to Jay for a second opinion. He was straightforward, took the time to explain what actually needed to be done, and quoted me a price that was literally about half of what the dealer wanted. While doing the water pump, Jay recommended replacing the thermostat since he was already in that area. He was clear that there would be no additional labor, just the cost of the part ($31), which felt honest and practical, not like an upsell. He also inspected the serpentine belt and told me it was in good shape and didn't need replacing, which further confirmed I was in the right place. Communication was clear, pricing was fair, and the work was done efficiently. Jay comes across as knowledgeable, genuine, and focused on fixing what actually needs fixing, not padding the bill. If you're looking for a trustworthy shop for Japanese vehicles and want straight answers without dealership pressure, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend A1 Japanese Auto Repair.

Their complimentary multi point inspection with pictures (free with paid oil change) gave me insight into the health and status of fluids, ball joints, suspension, and general condition of the car.

They assured me that they would provide this info before doing any work and that the assessment would not cost me anything. Instead, over a week after bringing in the car, they completed the work without telling what work would be done, without notifying me how much anything would cost, and it cost hundreds of dollars. No notice or breakdown of parts and labor as promised. The techs end their shifts around 3 and the person who answered the phones and called to let me know the car was ready could not tell me what work was done, why it was done, nothing.

I've now taken my 2014 BMW 535d to Larsen's Auto Repair a couple of times, and they've earned my…read moretrust. Most recently, I brought the car in after another shop told me I needed rear brakes, calipers, and suspension work totaling a pretty significant bill. Larsen's took the time to actually inspect everything and gave me a much more accurate picture. They confirmed the rear brakes were still in good shape (around 10mm), the control arm bushings were fine, and none of that additional work was needed right now. That kind of honesty is rare. They previously handled my front brake service, and everything was done right, no issues since. This time they also completed an alignment and oil service, both at fair prices. Mark was especially helpful throughout the process. He clearly explained what was actually needed versus what could wait, and didn't try to upsell anything. I never felt rushed or pressured, just informed. Bonus points to him since he's a fellow Atlanta Braves fan! If you're looking for a shop that will diagnose correctly, communicate clearly, and not recommend unnecessary work, Larsen's is a solid choice, especially if you have a BMW or higher-mileage vehicle and want straightforward, trustworthy guidance.
