I would highly recommend Union Bay Garage for any brake services that you need. I was referred by a…read morecolleague of mine and am always hesitant to go to any new place. I am so used to being taken advantage of when I bring my car to places, often trying to get sold parts that I do not need, often being taken advantage of because of my ignorance related to the mechanics of my vehicle. This was not the case with Union Bay Garage. I had been driving my car for 95,000 miles and had never had my brakes changed, so I was worried that I had gone past my brake pads and more repairs would be needed. They were able to make an appointment for me, within a week and shortly after I dropped my car off, I received a phone called informing me that about 30% of my brake pads remained. She then explained that most people get their brake pads replaced when about 20% is remaining. I was so surprised by her response. She said I didn't need them that day, but would need them soon. I had new brake pads installed that day anyways, which they had in stock and completed in only a few hours, if not less. I was very pleased that they did not try to sell me anything that I didn't need, or take advantage of my lack of knowledge. They were ver honest, the price was spectacular and they had me driving my car with new brake pads in no time! Thank you for being trustworthy and affordable Union Bay Garage. I will gladly refer you to anyone needing brake services in the future.

I was fed a load of garbage when I called Union Bay Garage to ask if they would replace a part. They did a clutch job a while back, left out the pilot bearing, and did such a crappy job that the flywheel they installed was all burned up after being driven only 15,000 miles. For reference, the flywheel should easily last 100,000 miles (and I have another 5M with 275,000 miles still on the original flywheel). Their botched job was only discovered at another shop when they were taking things apart to investigate & repair an oil leak. Turns out, it's leaking from the rear crankshaft seal UBG replaced when they did the clutch. It's easily going to cost double what UBG originally invoiced to fix the mess that Union Bay Garage made. I will pay a fair price for a job well done. And it isn't so much UBG's refusal to replace an out-of-warranty part, I figured I was SOL before dialing the number, even when it was their screwup, but it was Jordan shovelling all flavors of CYA BS that earned this poor rating. It wouldn't have lost UBG any revenue if she had simply refused to provide replacement parts for this out-of-warranty request instead blaming their crappy job on user error. Pull the other leg, I'm not buying your tall tales.

They always give me a clear list of what my car needs, and I really appreciate that they don't pressure you. We go through the list together, and I'll even ask what they would prioritize if it were their mom's or grandma's car. As a female, I know that I'm getting honest, fair information every time. That's not always the case at other repair shops I've been to. Hopefully I won't need major work anytime soon, but when I do, I'll definitely be bringing my car back to Northwest Automotive.

For the first time in my life I found that a BMW Dealership service was over 2 thousand dollars LESS than a random auto repair place. Imagine that! They grossly over inflated the cost. Who would EVER pay 4 thousand dollars to change their brakes? Oh and by the way Doug, callipers aren't a PART that gets " replaced ". That was in your estimate. And BMW had a lot of "FUN" getting inside the car to do the work. They didn't have a problem at all actually. NW automotive wouldn't quote me for brakes , parts and Labor over the phone because they wanted to inspect it first, which THEY CHARGE for. Yes Doug, you do get compensation for your work. It's called a wage. That's what you're there for. If you are the owner, then you should know better than to say that. Again, got a quote from the dealer over the phone with no problem. Got in the next day and got the car with no issues. This experience was an example of why these auto places get a bad reputation.

We recently purchased a used car and I was looking for a shop to do an inspection and (hopefully)…read morebe a place to take it if anything was needed. The team at Shoreline Auto Clinic responded quickly to my email query, and estimated $175 for the inspection. Schedule: whenever I could bring it by for the day. When I brought it by, a customer was getting an estimate for some major work, and Tori walked him through the costs of parts and how much labor was involved. She made it clear that she was giving him a high estimate, but that they might be able to come in under that figure, if parts were already in inventory and if the full time wasn't required. She didn't want there to be any surprises. Transparency in estimates! I love it! When I got a call later in the day, I got the news that our car was in good shape--a few things were needed, but nothing critical. When I arrived to pick-up, we walked through the report, an estimate of the work, and a timeline of when it should probably be done. And because my inspection was quicker than expected, I was only charged $99 instead of the full $175. This is a shop with integrity and heart. They are now our go-to shop.

I took it back to the dealership they said they found an oil leak and it would be $200 just to find where the leak was coming from and it would be an additional cost labor & parts for the repair. My friend told me to take it to shoreline clinic for the repair instead. I will never go anywhere else. I appreciate the sincere honesty Of all of them. What an amazing experience. Thank you Shoreline Auto Clinic!!

I would rather take my car to a shop that does that same work as the BMW dealership and charges 3 times less than BMW. The BMW dealership charges an OUTRAGOUS diagnostic fee of $220.00. And at this shop a diagnostic test is FREE!!! From reading other reviews about this shop on Yelp, I was pleased other's had some great experiences with Best Service & Repair. Best Service & Repair will be from now on my go too shop. I gave them a call to go over my car issues. One of them being, I was leaking oil from my valve cover gasket. At the BMW dealership, to replace the valve cover gasket they charge $2,200. Best Service & Repair charged me $624.00. The wonderful Service Adviser Ilona who I spoke with was so patient and extremely helpful with all my questions I had regarding my car. Two other pro's that Best Service & Repair provide are printouts of your car codes. No shop does that. Ilona goes over the codes and explains each one to the customer. Last and not least first time customers get a 10% discount on their bill. I am extremely pleased with this shop. It's nice to find a shop where they are honest, professional and care about the customer being satisfied. Not charging customers over the top prices for the same job. To hit commission numbers. I highly recommend this shop, Best Service & Repair 1119 N. 100th St Seattle, WA 98133 (206) 525-0240. If you are having to get your car serviced.
