Before repair
Suz A.

We were pleasantly surprised by not only by the estimate we received by this business, but also the finished product. They completed the work in a short time. It is an older vehicle with such great results. They consistently communicated all along the way with us so that we knew exactly what was going on throughout the repair process. They were professional and very nice! Great job

the front bumper, fender and hood were all bashed up. Looks great now !

They were amazing! Quick 2 day repair for a front bumper dent, and they washed and buffed out scratches all over the car with no charge!

I brought my Ford Ranger to Car Fix Automotive after it started jerking heavily between gear…read moreshifts. They diagnosed the issue quickly. It turned out the transmission needed to be replaced, and they took the time to explain that this is actually a common problem with this model, which I had no idea about. Unfortunately, I was past my Ford warranty, but the team went above and beyond to find a replacement transmission that is known to be more reliable than the original. They initially estimated about two weeks for the work, but they finished it in roughly half that time. The pricing was clear from the beginning, with no surprises on parts or labor. The truck now shifts smoothly, and I feel much more confident driving it. What really stood out was the follow-up: about a week after I picked up the truck, they reached out to see how everything was running. That kind of post-service care is rare.

This place is amazing! Beginning with the friendly greeting from their service advisor, Ree, to…read morethe expert diagnosis with an explanation that I could understand from the shop foreman and managing partner, Jim Peters, this place just feels like home! No gibberish- no hassles- just straightforward honest answers and an action plan to get that "funny noise" taken care of- Beautiful! After this experience, even though I live in North Seattle, this place is absolutely worth the drive! Honestly', go see for yourself! I think you'll be as pleased as I am. Thanks Jim and Ree- it was a Home Run!

They also didn't go in and find other random issues that may be non-existent, just to get you to pay more money which is an unethical practice that I know some smaller shops try to pull on occasion. The price was fair and their managers are extremely kind and professional, especially Alex! Even though the location is small, they operate with the efficiency of a giant location. My company also uses Sun Auto and its partnered shops and they also are great business partners who help get our vehicles taken care of for our customers on short notices. 10/10 all around.

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Sun Auto Repair in Renton. I came in because my…read moretrunk would not close. Before bringing my car in, I called and explained that I was confident the issue was the trunk latch. I asked about pricing and whether they had the latch in stock. I was told the first step would be to bring the car in so they could see if that was the problem. Once there, a mechanic tried slamming the trunk shut but it still wouldn't close. I was then told they needed to diagnose the issue for $140.00 to 170.00 At that point, I agreed because it sounded like they thought it might be something other than the trunk latch. Instead, I was charged $269 for a diagnostic, only to be told exactly what I already knew that the trunk latch was the problem. I don't understand why I was charged such a high diagnostic fee when I clearly explained the issue from the start. To make matters worse, I was quoted close to $800 to replace the trunk latch. For reference, the same latch for a 2016 Chevy Malibu LT 2.0 costs under $200 online. Between the excessive diagnostic fee and the inflated repair quote, I chose to walk away after paying the $269. They also claimed my battery was going bad, even though it was replaced just 7 months ago. Then today, I received a voicemail asking if I wanted to schedule work not just for the trunk latch and battery, but now spark plugs and struts issues that were never mentioned before. It honestly feels like they kept adding problems out of nowhere. I've had good experiences with them in the past, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be bringing my car here again

They need to be able to properly diagnose the issue and repair it in a reassonable time frame and at a fair price. Jeremy the shop manager has by far, exceeded my expectations. His knowledge and expertise is spot on. The level of professionalism I've experienced has been commendable. They have even gone out of their way to give me a ride home as I needed to leave my car their overnight in one instance. I would highly recommend their services to anyone that needs something done... and done right. For as long as my wife and I own a vehicle. We will be bringing them here without hesitation. Thanks aagin to Jeremy and crew!!!

Don't go here if you value quality!!! I had to get my water pump replaced 2 years after they…read moreinstalled it because they put a low quality aftermarket part in my car. The full story: I had them replace my water pump in December 2022. A quick google search says that a water pump should last 60,000-100,000 miles minimum, but 23,000 miles later it failed and I had to get another water pump replacement in November 2024. I talked to Jeremy at Advance Auto Tune and he said they install OEM parts (specifically Aisin for my car) but when my current mechanic took the part out of the car, they said the part that was installed was an aftermarket part. Advance Auto Tune refused to give me any money back, so I'm out $1000 because they installed a sub-par part. Feel free to reach out to me for details.

I've owned a few Japanese cars over the year and this place was highly recommended. I've gone to…read morethem for a few challenging things. The sunroof on my Infiniti would not close and that was very frustrating and concerning to me, especially living in an area they get so much rain. I took it in first thing in the morning and a couple hours later they were calling to let me know that they had fixed the problem On another occasion, I was clumsy, attempting to change out my standard headlamp bulbs to some high visibility ones. I quickly hit my mechanical threshold, but not before I rendered one of the lights interoperable. Very tight working conditions. I took it into the shop and they called me an hour later saying that it was done. Other than those occasions, I've had some general work done, including oil changes and 30 and 60,000 mile maintenance packages. I have always found them to be courteous, offer a shuttle vehicle back to work and great communication. I highly recommend Greg's Japanese Auto.

I had a very disappointing experience with Greg's Japanese Auto and would not recommend them based…read moreon both the communication and the diagnostic service I received. I brought in my 2004 Honda Odyssey because of an intermittent transmission problem. I explained in detail that the vehicle had occasionally failed to engage properly and appeared to go into limp mode. I also explained that about two months earlier, while driving from California to Washington, the transmission had overheated and pushed fluid out through the dipstick tube. I specifically told them this because there was still old dark transmission fluid residue around the top of the transmission. I left the vehicle with them for approximately a week. During that time, communication was extremely poor. I rarely received updates unless I called them myself. When I did call, I was repeatedly told they would get back to me, but I continued having to follow up to find out what was happening. When I finally picked up the vehicle, I was charged $242.87, including $219.99 for diagnostic time. Their paperwork says the diagnostic service includes a test drive, computer scan, monitoring the data stream, evaluating diagnostic information, and checking applicable technical service bulletins. However, the actual written findings were extremely limited. Their report states that the vehicle was "shifting OK at this time," that the transmission fluid looked clean and the level was OK, and that they found code P0730. It then states that the transmission had "failed internally" and recommends replacing the entire transmission. They quoted me approximately $7,400 for the replacement. When I asked how they determined that the transmission had internally failed, I was simply told it was based on their testing. I was not given any detailed test results showing what specifically established an internal mechanical failure. If I am paying over $200 specifically for a transmission diagnosis before being told I need a $7,400 repair, I expect a clear explanation and documentation showing how that conclusion was reached, especially when their own report says the vehicle was shifting normally during their test drive. Maybe the transmission ultimately does need replacement. That is not my complaint. My complaint is that after leaving my vehicle there for approximately a week, repeatedly having to call for updates, and paying $242.87, I left without a clear explanation of what testing actually proved that the entire transmission needed to be replaced. Between the lack of communication and the lack of detail supporting such an expensive recommendation, I was extremely disappointed with my experience. You're better off going to Firestone down the street, and they're a rip-off, so that goes to show.

I was looking for a shop at least to take a look at my car, but after trying hard for 3 weeks, I didn't find anyone. One of my friends recommended Chau's to me. I called explained the situation. First, Dennis hesitated as it might not be worth repairing. I begged him to at least take a look at the photos. He agreed. After sending him photos by email, he responded within an hour that he thought it would be worth repairing but he would have to find out whether the parts were available. He asked me to give him some time to find out. Two days later, he contacted me that he had found all the necessary parts and that he gave me an estimate of repair price. The repair price was so close to the insurance company's quote, which most repair shops had told me that it was impossible. Since my friend recommended Chau's, I decided to let Chau's do it. Dennis kept me informed the status of the repair, and the repair was done within the time he had promised. When I went to pick up the car, I was surprised and delighted to find it like brand new condition. The body work was pretty, and all the mechanic issues were fixed. The price was still the same as quoted. I am very happy and satisfied. I would highly recommend Chau's.
