That worked out and the repair work was done with great care. Cannot say enough about their work ethic and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

They did not wrap corners, cut out carrot shape "v" in edges, and it was yellowing within 6 weeks of application. I asked for a refund, which they said they mailed to my home. A week later I had not received it and was told it's at VW waiting for me. The most unprofessional and unskilled labor I have had to deal with in a long time. If you buy from VW take on own. They clearly don't care who does after market work for them.

Overall the work seems solid and everything is working well so far. Pricing felt a little on the higher side for labor, but the job was more involved than a basic brake service and they were straightforward about what was being done. You can tell they're working hard to build their business, and I appreciated the communication. I'd consider using them again.

Even though they were so busy they had to quit taking new customers, when Gene heard my story, he…read moreset an appointment for me far enough ahead for him to order the part they needed. The back window of my soft-top convertible had imploded from the heat of August, 2022. There was only one upholsterer in my whole county who worked on convertibles and he was too busy to take it. I live in Lynden, WA and the next closest shop was Ted's in Arlington, an hour and a half drive from my home. Gene agreed to fix my window, took down the information he needed, ordered the window to fit and had everything ready by the time of my appointment. He thought it would take about 5 hours to do the job. A friend drove down to Arlington with me and we hung out at a nearby park after meeting with Gene. (We drove to the park, he walked to the park and picked up my car. Mobility is an issue with my friend and I.) Three hours later I got a call from him asking if we were ready to be picked up. The cost was comparable to others I'd been quoted - and then turned down. Gene was friendly, knowledgeable concerning the window and working with insurance companies, and fast. My window is beautiful and, luckily, we beat the rain. I was without a back window for almost two months. Thank you, Gene!!

The staff at BOR were very receptive and responsive to my needs and arranged to replace my converters. Unfortunately, after all their hard work my check engine light came back. It turns out that when BOR discussed my repair options I opted for the cheap route and asked them to buy aftermarket converters. When I came back they found an exhaust leak and fixed that, and the light came back a second time I relented and asked them to get OEM converters. The OEM converters fixed the problem and my pickup is running great again! I have nothing but praise for how BOR worked with me, accommodated all my choices, and bent over backwards to help me get my truck working.

Better Off-Road? More Like Better Off Somewhere Else…read more I brought my 2002 Suburban Z71 to Better Off-Road with a clear, detailed diagnostic summary--11 specific issues, complete with history, symptoms, and codes. I gave them every benefit of the doubt. What I got in return was a $10,000 engine replacement estimate and a lazy guess. After eight full days of silence, they finally looked at the truck and performed a basic compression test. They found low readings on two cylinders and immediately recommended a full engine swap. No leak-down test. No spark plug inspection. No timing verification. Just a vague shrug and a five-figure solution. Here's the kicker: * They performed the wrong test first * Then charged again to do the right one * That's double billing for diagnostic failure A leak-down test is the industry standard when compression is low--it tells you why it's low. They didn't perform one until I hounded them. That's not oversight. That's negligence. When I finally arranged a tow to get it out of there on October 22, they refused to release the vehicle until I paid. Fair enough--but their phones were "offline for two days," yet their voicemail worked. Convenient. Then they charged me a 3% fee for using a Visa card. That's not standard. That's gouging. The technician who texted me couldn't write a coherent sentence. His diagnosis read like a fifth-grade book report. I wouldn't trust this shop to change a bicycle tire, let alone diagnose a complex engine issue. Bottom line: * They ignored a detailed diagnostic roadmap * They charged for incomplete diagnostics * They double-billed for doing it right * They stalled communication for eight days * They misrepresented fees * They showed zero professionalism I paid the bill because I honor my commitments. But they didn't honor theirs. I'll never go back--and I hope no one else does either. --David W. Klieman

The last 4 times I went there I waited in the lobby for so many hours. If I had known it would be that long I would have went home. The last time was 5 and a half hours in the lobby! I tried to go home at hour 3 and was asked to stay (telling me it would be soon.) The prices have really gone up. He wouldn't charge me to look at it so I thought I was getting a good deal but with the high pricing it made up for it. Several hundred dollars cheaper at other places when I called around. I got an oil change here and I made an appointment for it. I waited 3 and a half hours in the lobby and it cost a little over 100$. I mentioned I was feeling the transmission slipping and was told they would take a look at it. At checkout they said nothing, I asked them about it and another 20 minutes later they came back and said it was fine maybe I could get a tune up soon. I brought it in again a few weeks later still with the transmission slipping. They said they found a sensor out and a few other things. I paid a little over 1000$ two separate times within 3 months. Each time I asked is it worth it, to fix it? What about the transmission? I got round about answers and was told fixing it was a good option. Now after putting almost 4000$ into it within a year my transmission needs to be replaced and I can't afford to fix it or get another vehicle! I don't have words for how I feel about that. I really trusted Adrian and so I trusted his crew and I feel like they really let me down and put me in a bad spot. I'm a single mom and I needed the honesty and care I had gotten from Adrian at the beginning but I guess things change.

Stanwood Car Care is the only place I'll take my vehicles from now on…read more After another mechanic shop's negligence left my truck broken down, I was stuck and unsure who to trust. I brought it to Stanwood Car Care hoping for some honesty and help -- and they went above and beyond. They didn't just fix the issue, they treated me with genuine respect and care. When my Subaru started having issues shortly after, they got me in the same day -- no hassle, no games. They didn't nickel and dime me, and they were upfront and more than fair throughout the process. It's rare to find a shop that not only does great work, but actually treats you like a person. Stanwood Car Care earned my trust, and they've got all of my family's business moving forward. Thank you guys!
