I come from a family of mechanics, and when my auto-mechanic brother retired from the business, I had to find an outside (the family) source to work on my vehicles. This quest left me with many unimpressive and expensive experiences. Then, I happened across Dan at GN Northwest and my search was over. This has been several years ago now, and I consider myself incredibly lucky. He is the only mechanic I've come across that I trust like my brother. He is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, ethical and honest, amazingly helpful, and has the utmost integrity. He has always been able to troubleshoot and repair my vehicle issues, explains repairs and pricing, keeps costs to a minimum, and never tries to up-sell me on unnecessary repairs/replacements even when I've suggested something be done in an attempt to be pro-active. He is always going out of his way to help his customers maintain their vehicles as affordably as possible, and without unnecessary expenses. He is consistent and timely about communicating, and (amazingly) has an incredibly clean, organized shop (you should have seen my dad's (o:). Because I trust Dan and his crew so much, I refer GN Northwest to all my connections in need of auto repair work. Amazingly, one of my friends I referred went to see Dan after I referred him, and was thrilled. He used to use Dan's services before GN Northwest moved to it's existing location, and hadn't known where the business moved to. He was grateful to re-establish business with Dan, and is now a happy, loyal customer again. This is a great indicator of an impressive business, that has made such a positive impact on customers for so long. I can't say enough positive things about what a fantastic mechanic, business owner, and person in general he is. I hope he stays in business as long as I'm driving. I doubt I'll ever find another mechanic and business owner as impressive! read more

Ive been coming here for years, service and knowledge is amazing. Its hard to find good honest people these days, I will not go anywhere else for car repairs. read more

I have known Dan for several years. He used to service some of the cars from my work. He always stood behind his work and was very fair with his prices. I liked him so much I started servicing my personal cars there. His knowledge, his courtesy and his work are phenomenal. Dan has always been a straight shooter and never tried to upsell parts or work I didn't need. He has always delivered on time and on budget (often less). I have told all my friends about him because you can trust him. It's nice to have such a great, knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy mechanic. There's a lot out there who aren't. I would have no problem sending my mother, my son or any loved one there. You can trust Dan. He's one of the good ones. read more

The guys at GN Northwest are honest and care about the people behind the car. They take the time to make sure that they have done a thorough investigation, find the best prices for their customers, and take care of you along the way. I have had two different vehicles serviced with them and would not take my cars anywhere else. read more

Not just great, but beyond great. The first time I worked with Dan, my son's car failed emissions back in 2006. We took it to Dan, he called a couple of days later and said the car was done and had passed emissions. I was so impressed that he had taken it to get tested and saved us time. I've been with him ever since, no one will ever work on one of my cars except Dan. He is fair and he's honest and absolutely the best mechanic I've ever worked with. He knows his stuff. My car was overheating once, my boyfriend said it needed a new radiator. I took it to Dan, he had it a few hours, called me and said that my fan was just loose and he tightened it up - no charge! What a guy! He could have sold me a new radiator. I just can't describe how good of a mechanic and person Dan is. I've had 3 cars in the last 19 years and Dan has worked on all of them. I've sent three or four friends to him and they have all loved him. read more

Stop and look no further. Dan is a genuine great guy and experienced mechanic that treats people the way he wants to be treated! Dan went above and beyond regular business perimeters meeting my urgent need to get my car roadworthy. He quickly diagnosed, and fixed the problem. I felt like a family member, he is trustworthy, and extremely fair in price. I called his shop by chance and so glad that I did! read more

My family has been bringing our cars (two Acura's and one Honda) to Dan for years now. Discover is an accepted form of payment. A few reasons why we like and will continue to patronize GN Northwest: 1. Dan is the man 2. Acura certified 3. Work is guaranteed 4. A referral program is offered 5. Pricing is honest and fair 6. Terms are spoken layman style so I am not made to feel stupid 7. Shop is small which means the team and clients become familiar 8. Connections/referrals to other shops when GN doesn't offer certain services (ex: hitches) Thank you GN and Dan for ensuring that my family is always safe while on the roads. read more

See all

Awesome service and fair cost. Don't let the humble appearance of the shop scare you off or the fact that it isn't really on Evergreen Way (it's technically on W McGill Ave, but just barely) . Dan and company did great work on my Subaru, which is more than three dealerships could accomplish. I'll definitely be back every time another one of my OEM door lock actuators fail. And they will... read more

GN Northwest - Auto Repair Near Me - Everett, Washington

Car was taken to GN Northwest to be looked at after theft and recovery of vehicle. Items missing upon recovery are catalytic converter, Battery ,Air cleaner intake box and all hoses , Headlights removed and left on seat. Drivers door would not open. Damage to gas line. Car was taken to GN Northwest by a acquaintance due to the owner of shop is his friend. No authorization from me to preform any work was given. No estimate given. No description of work that needed to be done provided . As per the law and my rights. Work was preformed on vehicle without authorization and damage done to car. This consists of straight piping of vehicle instead of replacement of catalytic converter, rattles badly and o2 sensor is missing and is also illegal to do and have on your car. Air cleaner intake box replaced but just sitting in engine compartment and no hoses. Door now opens but paneling on door is just left dangling and clips broken, parts are missing from door, pieces falling off when door handle used, speaker not working, rectangular piece above door panel broken and on the floor. And that's just the tip of the problem! Now on my dashboard a big red SMS light appears that was not there before. The clock on the dashboard is no longer working and most importantly the car is loud and does not sound right when I'm sitting at a light after car is warm it's normal and then goes high and then normal again. My acquaintance paid this business $320.00 dollars to get my car back. The only work preformed on my car that has been done correctly is my gas line and windshield wipers and all work preformed with no authorization from owner of car. I have personally gone to Mr. Dan Miller owner of the business and expressed all of this only to be fed verbal vomit, and treated as if I'm unintelligent and should not be complaining. The second time I paid a visit to Mr. Dan Miller he became upset and started to throw items in his shop. I quickly left I was not safe! Do not take your car to this business. Stay away! For the safety of your self in many ways and to avoid further damage done to your car. read more

Thank you guys for always doing right by me and providing peace of mind by taking care of my vehicle exactly the way I'd want it to be. I cannot recommend these guys enough! read more

GN Northwest - Auto Repair Near Me - Everett, Washington

I wax a customer of GNN when it was Speedway Automotive years ago and then I moved away for five years. When I returned last fall my Explorer Sport Trac just froze in Renton so I had it towed nearby. Three hundred dollars got me trouble shooting and a new battery. One week later it froze again down south. I tried another shop nearby and was told it was a starter and it had a whole host of things to do that came to $4K. I towed it all the way to Everett to GNN. Dan figured it all out, replaced the starter, did what he thought needed to be done and provided great value. I trust Dan as much or more than any mechanic I have ever worked with. No BS, no fake sell, just honest, trustworthy, and talented service. read more

If your Nissan Xterra 06' has a problem with it getting stuck on 4 low or 4 high and you can't do anything to fix it yourself, you have referred to the manual and still no luck . I would suggest taking it in to Dan. How I hate this car and still have it who knows. Dan had fixed the catalytic converter on my car 2 years ago and car runs smooth without a problem. Just recently the car had been stuck in 4 high and I could not for the life of me get it out of 4wd. I had two shops (Net Auto Cafe & Dave's Trans Service) look at it before I took it to Dan and they said the computer doesn't pull up a diagnostic code in order for them to know what is wrong. Ok, do we really have to rely on a code to figure out what is wrong with my car?! I took it to Dan which I should have in the first place and he had fixed it found bad relay and replaced it with new relay with reasonable cost. Wonderful, car works fine now . Thanks, Dan. -Sara read more

Got a competitive quote for a brake job and was able to get my car back the same day! The also managed to squeeze me in during the short Thanksgiving week. Been a few weeks since and the new brakes feel great! Responsive, friendly, awesome service. They have my recommendation! read more

Very friendly service, cute ass little dog to keep you company, reasonable prices and they genuinely care about you and your vehicle

The absolute best mechanic I have ever met. I moved to Seattle a while ago but still make the trip to have all my work done by them. Good people. read more

My experience with Dan and team relates directly to services they have provided me for my high-performance vehicles. This is in their DNA. They find the problems quickly. They fix the problem effectively and correctly the first time. To top it off, they always find something small...but important...to do to just make your car better. Something. ANYTHING. Why anyone would go to any other garage is beyond me. read more

We had a great experience at GN Northwest. I brought my Volvo S60 in and they serviced it for 1/4 of what Volvo was going to charge me. They were very nice, got my car back in less time than promised and the shop was very clean. Plus, they have a shop dog who is freaking adorable. I'll come back just to pet that pup! Highly recommend this place! read more

The guys at GN Northwest really know what they are doing. It is increasingly rare to find this combination of honesty, knowledge, and professionalism. As others have said, they don't just specialize in creating impressive Buicks. I took my Nissan 350Z in and had GN add a supercharger, big brakes, upgraded suspension, wider wheels/tires, etc... The list goes on, it was quite a bit of work. They did an amazing job, and have continued to offer fantastic support in the 2+ years since the initial work. You don't have to think about this one. Take your vehicles to GN Northwest, Dan and the crew will take care of you. read more

The guys down a GN Northwest have been excellent with my car maintenance needs. I feel lucky to have a shop with such extensive knowledge and experience dealing with high performance cars in my area. I will be relying on GN Northwest for all my future needs. read more

Gn northwest is as good as it gets for a mechanic! You are treated like family in a good way. They explained what needed to be done for my car (2000 audio a6 quattro) not a fun car to work on by the way very labor intensive I've heard from others. They gave me a very fair price. And did a great job! My go to choice when I need work on a car. They also did great work on my old Honda Accord. read more

We are so very happy with our auto service from Dan M. And his crew at GN Northwest ! We brought in a collector's vehicle that had some problems and Dan's knowledgeable staff was very informative and made all the required repairs and it was affordable pricing and in a timely manner !! :- ) I'm giving five stars for my service received again thank you!

I live in the Renton area andI had a 87 Buick Turbo car for 20 plus years. I have been looking for a repair shop in western Washington for a long time that focused on working on my Buick, then i came across these guys online. Dan and his crew are very knowledgeable about my car. I ended up having a big service done with them & i was very happy. My car now runs better then new and they have converted my to be their life customer...even though i have to drive a bit. But with my car running so great i am happy to make the commute. I recommend anyone to try giving these guys a shot at your car, i myself am very picky and that says a lot about their service and work. read more

Dan and the crew at GN Northwest are the absolute best. They are extremely responsive and honest, and they do great work. I have owned several V8 vehicles over the years in various cities and they have given me by far the best service I've ever received. Thanks! read more

This used to be Speedway Automotive on Beverly Park Rd. in Mukilteo. I've been taking my cars to Dan since 2005. I would not consider taking them anywhere else. His shop is not convenient to my house, but no matter. When you find a good honest mechanic, you get there! His new shop should be convenient for most people, as it is right off Evergreen Way not far from Home Depot. I don't race cars or drive performance cars. He does, but he is very happy to fix my old vehicles. He doesn't look down on them just because they aren't anything special as far as cars go (hey, I love you cars, but let's be real). He's really more of an American car guy, but will work on other cars or at least help you figure out what's wrong. read more

I am new to the area and when calling around, Dan was able to give me the quickest, most honest, and cheapest quote. So I dropped my car off and after less then an hour, Dan called and said it wasn't my alternator and he only had to reset my electrical system and my car was able to start! So he said he would keep my car and keep rechecking and restarting it and drive it around a couple times to make sure it was ok before he gave it back to me. He was very thorough. Even did my oil change and fixed everything else that set off my warning lights on the dash. But he only charged for an hour's work and my car is running perfectly! Thanks to Dan! He is so professional, honest, quick, reliable, and charged even less than others in the area. So glad I found this place. :) read more

I am so grateful to have found GN Northwest! They do a fantastic job and really explain what needs to be done and why. I've even had them show me the old part to help me understand what was wrong with my car. Even though I drive a very much less than fancy car, they never made me feel like I wasn't worth their time and energy. They let me know if something needs to be done, but it's never a high pressure situation. I've been thrilled with what they charge as well Everyone was super friendly, and helpful. I absolutely recommend GN Northwest! read more

The mechanics are nice, honest and efficient they have helped me on two of my vehicles and now I am taking my 3rd to them. I have given their business' name to family and friends in the area. It is so nice to do business with a company who works hard like I do for a living. Thank you GN Northwest. read more

Dan and team did an outstanding job on completing the 60k routine maintenance on my Lexus RX-350. His quote was less than half the dealership rate for the same service, and the actual bill was 10% less than the quote! Communications were good and they even dropped me off at my nearby job. I brought up a noise I was hearing in the steering column. They couldn't hear it as it didn't happen at the shop (always the case, right?) but Dan investigated online looking for service bulletins which he printed out for me. These guys clearly know what they're doing, as they also do a lot of high end car modifications for maxing horsepower on muscle cars. I didn't need that, but their honesty and professionalism are top drawer. read more

I am not great with car problems - in fact, I'm pretty terrible with them (case in point, the other reviewer mentions Dan is good with American cars - I have no idea if my car is American. I do know that it is white). I'm usually the one to have to make embarrassing noises in order to tell anyone what's going on with my car. I always worry that this lack of knowledge will result in my car turning to a pile of smoking rubble someday during a commute, but since I found Dan, I no longer have these worries. Dan is on top of it! Seriously, I wouldn't even consider going to anyone else. If you're looking for an excellent mechanic and a great guy, look no further. read more

Dan and his guys do very diligent work on our cars. Our second time there and the service was by far the best yet! Very satisfied! I recommend GN Northwest to anyone who needing work done on their vehicles. And his prices......what a steal! Thanks Dan! My wife and I are fans of your work, that's why we brought my sister in law in for maintenance on her Mercedes today. We are loyal customers. read more

Driving down from Vancouver, BC to Portland, I stopped to get gas in Everett and couldn't restart my car. Not knowing anyone in the area, I looked on yelp for nearby auto shops. GN Northwest had good reviews, so I called them and Dan came down the road to where I was stranded to do a quick diagnosis. He saw the problem right away, a loose wire which he reattached and crimped so it wouldn't come loose again. No charge! What a decent, honest man! As someone who doesn't know a whole lot about cars, it is so refreshing to find this quality in a mechanic! I cannot recommend GN Northwest highly enough! read more

Extremely friendly, professional, great prices and more than thorough. I won't take my truck anywhere else.

The starter on my Element died, the day before christmas eve.. I had plans to see my family on christmas, plus started a brand new job the day after, so my car died on me at THE WORST possible freaking time. I called at least a dozen repair places, and every one of them told me I was SOL until the next week. Then I called these guys and talked to Dan. He was super friendly and sympathetic, and even though im sure he was swamped, he took my car in and got the starter replaced same day, so I was able to pick it up the morning of Christmas Eve. He went above and beyond, and car is doing great. Amazing service. read more

I just have to say that Dan at GN Northwest is an AUTO GOD! I have taken several of my cars to him in the past and when I was living in the Lake City Way area I had taken my car to 3 different places to have my breaks looked at becuase I was having problems and they all said my break were fine. Then when I moved back to Mukilteo and brought my car to Dan and finally I had answers. He was able to fix the problem right away. Now even if I move to another state I might be tempted to just bring my car back to him. His prices are great and his service is fantastic. Thanks Dan the Man! YOU ROCK! read more

Dan and his friendly crew got my ride running again for half the price Klein Honda nearby would have charged. 100% would recommend!

My truck was having engine problems and the dealer wanted $6,900 just to do the heads. I talked to Dan and we looked at the mileage and he suggested to put in a new engine. Problem fixed cheaper than the dealer and a complete new engine! He was very honest about the cost (accurate quote) and the work to be completed. He also mentioned the fact that due to the age of my vehicle the cost of the new engine would be about what the vehicle was worth! So armed with the correct information I was able to make a good decision and replace the engine. This is by far the best shop in Everett, WA. I would recommend them to anyone who needs any automotive work done right the first time. So how would I rank them: Professionalism 10, Quality 10, Workmanship 10 and Price 10. You will not find a better mechanic anywhere. read more

We have been using Dan's services since 2006 and keep coming back for more. As everyone knows, finding a good and trustworthy mechanic is not easy but we've hit a gold mine with this one. We always trust that he won't nickel and dime us and will do a thorough and quality job. I couldn't be more grateful to have him available! You won't be disappointed. read more

I've known proprietor Dan Miller for many years, as he's been the car mechanic of choice for my parents, my wife, and myself. He previously replaced the motor on my 1990 Ford pickup truck, so I knew he was the man to do the same for my 1986 Mustang. I'm the original owner and wouldn't entrust my almost-classic to just anyone. Dan went about the job thoughtfully, doing lots of online research and choosing not just the biggest motor but rather the one that performs and suits my needs best: a Ford racing 306 motor with numerous upgrades including aluminum heads, 303 cam, 340 hp, 350 foot pounds of torque. Dan is one very diligent mechanic. Dan is proud of his work on the car, and I'm excited to start exhibiting it at car shows. I heartily recommend Dan's GN Northwest shop: he is honest and does beautiful work at a reasonable price. read more

These guys are just fantastic. They took what could have been a really bad situation and made it into a reason I'll always be going back to Dan and his crew. Long story short, brought my car in to troubleshoot some vibration in my Honda Civic and decided on fixing a bad bearing that was creating some noise. Dan was extremely friends, easy to work with and pretty fast getting it repaired. Unfortunately, crap happens, and the brand new bearing failed as soon as I drove it off the lot. Brought it back to the shop and I know Dan put in a lot of extra hours to get my pain in the butt car back on the road again. He even took me back to my home in his personal car when I dropped it off the second time. The next day when I picked the car up he had also replace the windshield wipers for me and de-fogged the headlamps as a "sorry for the trouble". Again, despite a crappy situation where the repair failed, Dan took full ownership of the problem and fixed it without a single hesitation. Oh and their shop mascot, Bre, is a pretty awesome dog that will greet you the moment you get out of your car. read more

Dan Miller and the guys at GN Northwest are awesome. Trustworthy, kind, professional and fair. They are also highly skilled mechanics with lots of experience. I have done business with Dan for years and never been disappointed. I'm glad to have been referred to Dan and GN Northwest. read more
