Mose Auto is the best auto mechanic in South Seattle! The staff is kind, courteous, and always extremely helpful.

Great service at a fair price. Mose clearly cares about my car, my satisfaction, and most importantly my safety on the road. So glad to have their expertise supporting me! read more

Great service from the folks down at Mosé. They were able to fit me into their schedule in a timely manner. The estimate for the work was straightforward, and the employee was honest about what was needed and what could possibly be put off to save money for the short-term. I was more than happy to support this business. read more

Owning a car comes with expenses and they can be pretty overwhelming and absolutely financially terrifying yet Mose and her staff were friendly and did some incredible work putting my mind at ease! Please support this locally owned and amazing shop! Nice comfy waiting area and over the phone and in person customer service is amazing will be taking my car there in the future! read more

Mosé and her team are kind trustworthy, extremely competent mechanics and bodywork specialist. They've been fixing my car for years now and I won't go anywhere else. Every time I get my car back from a repair. It's like new sparkly and clean. I'm never surprised by the prices for the repairs, everything is very upfront. Mose does a good job of setting expectations with customers. Very queer friendly. read more

While I see that most have a great experience with Mose, mine was completely different. My car had to be towed because the gas tank was drilled. Mose originally did not know that this would be covered by insurance and presented an estimate. When the insurance company got involved the estimate was reduced by over $1,000. Mose was to order the parts and was given a check up front by the insurance company. Somehow they did not understand they were to order the part. A week later that was cleared up and supposedly they ordered a part. The insurance company said that the part almost always takes a maximum of 5-7 days to arrive. It took over three weeks for the part to arrive so it does appear it was not ordered immediately even when reminded to order it. In trying to follow up the shop would never know the status of the part and would say that it was partly the insurance company's fault because of where it was ordered. Well over a month later I finally drove the car out. They did not put any gas in the tank but reminded me to do so. I was not sure if I would make it to the station as the miles remaining in the tank read -0-. I have rental car coverage on the policy but because it took so long to fix I ended up paying an additional $400 on rental coverage. It was overall poor service and communication. I would call frequently and they said they would call me back but only did one time on the final day. A very frustrating experience overall. read more

I love going to Mose Auto. Mariajosé and her team take the time to educate me about what the issue is, how it came about, and how to prevent it in the future. They want you to have a car running top notch to prevent visits to the shop. Mose Auto has been clear about repair options, how much they'll cost, and the pros and cons to different options/parts. I've usually been able to get my car back day of by communicating my schedule and working with the shop. Their diagnoses are quick and they never upsell or overcharge. I'm grateful for a mechanic and a team that I can trust. Thank you for being patient and explaining things to me in detail! read more

Hands down Mose Auto is the only auto mechanic shop I go to for work on my vehicles. Mose is candid, honest, all people friendly -BIPOC, trans, Mose takes care of you and fixes your car and doesn't "fix" what doesn't need to be fix. Keeps you safe on the road. Thank you Mose! Support this independent woman owned business. read more

My partner and I have been taking our cars and sending our friends to Mose for years. She is friendly and honest and we trust her to do great work. read more

Just picked up my car from Mose and it was far and way the best experience I've had with an auto shop. I'm not a "car person" so very much appreciated that there was no Wizard of Oz bullshit happening here; total transparency on what services they are providing and why. Fast, professional and soooo nice. Plus female owned? Officially a Mose ride or die. read more

I always try to give people the benefit of the doubt but I can no longer be silent. About a year ago I took my car to Mose Auto on the recommendation of two friends and I have regretted it ever since. The head gaskets on my Subaru were failing and I agreed to have them replaced despite the $2,000 quote because I was assured the car should be reliable for another 5 years. At the end of the day, or whole month rather, the job cost just over $3,000 and they billed me for 15 hours of work. 15 hours, and they kept it for a month, that's 30 minutes a day that my car was actually being worked on and I was without a car. Mose said they had a few notes for me for future repairs that they would e-mail to me and never did. Never e-mailed the receipt either. I went to check the oil and noticed that I could see the ground through the engine compartment, they had forgotten to put the valance back on which isn't a big deal but sketchy. Makes you wonder what else they forgot. I noticed that the reserve coolant level was dropping so I asked Mose what kind they used and they couldn't tell me. Said they'd have no way of knowing. I'm sorry, but there are coolants you use because you can, and then there are the ones that you're supposed to use with a specific car and no, you can't always go by color. So not only was there no record keeping they also don't have a standard way of deciding which coolant to use. This comes back up later in this story. Since the head gasket job I've noticed a drop in power which could be a lot of things but implies the timing may be off, but I have yet to have that checked. The engine power started dropping and I noticed a a funny noise. I took it in and it turns out a bolt had fallen out of the exhaust where it meets the engine and the seal had burnt up. They fixed it but upon getting the car and dropping $70 for the repair I was informed that they didn't have locktite so the bolt may come loose again and that I should remind them when I bring it in for an oil change. This is an area that would have been affected by the head gasket job but they still charged me because their warranty is only 3 months. That's a big red flag for me. So I started to notice that my engine temp was starting to creep up and when I went to Canada a week or so ago the car started seriously overheating so I had to stop half way up and on the return trip so it could cool down. Took it to a different mechanic today and they said that Mose had used an aftermarket thermostat which are well known for not having enough clearance to properly regulate engine temp. He also found that the radiator is becoming clogged, likely due to mixing different types of antifreeze. This repair is putting me out another $440. At the end of the day I wanted Mose to be a good mechanic and support someone in the queer community but when I think of how much car trouble I know one of those friends who recommended Mose is always having I can't say that they have bad luck. At this point I am 100% sure that Mose is just a terrible mechanic. Not only do they not have the industry standard 1 year warranty and therefore do not stand by their own work, they don't return calls, don't follow through on e-mails, they forget to put all the parts back on the car, they use substandard parts, can't answer basic maintenance questions, and I can't say if I would have been better off not getting my car fixed. Yeah, it would have burnt up eventually, but then I would still have the almost $4,000 that I could put toward a new car. I feel bad for giving them a bad review, Mose is a nice person, but I cannot in good conscience recommend them. read more

Very kind folks, they have always done an excellent job on my work and personal vehicles!

Mosé was super nice and helpful. They communicate really well about the customer's needs and didn't try to persuade me that my car needed extra work. I would highly recommend their service over the dealership any day! read more

My relationship with Mose Auto & the whole crew started long ago. I always know the one place I can go to get the best service, but most importantly to me a business I can trust. I have been going & will continue to head to Mose Auto for any issues with my truck! Thank you so much & we appreciate you all at Mose Auto! -Austin & Tuna (my truck) read more

Mosé Auto is one of a kind you will not find a mechanic as dedicated to your car or you as Mosé is. I feel so lucky to have been been in Mosé's care after I was hit by a driver. A lot of mechanics out there want to swindle you but not this shop. I can not recommend enough. read more

We found this shop about six months ago. We have now brought all three of our vehicles here. I trust the owner completely. She is knowledgeable, polite and real. The first person I took my RAV4 to quoted me over $1000.00 to fix it. I just paid less then half of that to have Mose' fix my car. She has my business for life. Also, she does amazing things for the community. She hosts fundraisers and supports her local businesses. This is where you should spend your dollars. read more

Had such a great experience at Mose's! Excellent customer service and will definitely being using this garage again if I'm in need. I love the fact that it feels inclusive and is woman owned. As a woman, I felt comfortable which is quite uncommon in the auto industry. Didn't feel like I was getting ripped off at all! read more

Very friendly staff. Confirmation of appointments in clear, and the process for confirming work that needs to be done is also extremely clear. Love all the work they've done for me on my van, definitely my go-to mechanic as long as I'm in Seattle! read more

Mose was able to describe the issues surrounding my vehicle in simple terms I could understand. She answered each of my questions in person and over email to my satisfaction. She was able to get to work assessing my vehicle within 24 hours and get back to me shortly thereafter. Most importantly, she was candid with me about what she recommends for my vehicle moving forward - even if it meant losing business for her. I dont think you can get better than that in a mechanic. I can't recommend her highly enough. read more

Mose Auto saved the day!!! We had an emergency that required gas to be drained from the car, so we could have our car shipped. We dropped in with little notice, and it was like the lady mechanic dropped everything to help us. We can't thank her enough. She was also very personable. The location is hard to find, so I called and she walked out to wave me down. The price was more than reasonable. If we didn't move from WA, we'd definitely go back to Mose Auto. read more

I went to mose in June indrive 45 minutes to get there waited 6 hours my appointment was at 11am they didn't start on my car until 1ish. I got my tires done although I went in for the pullie on my belt. She didn't have the part,which was fine she ordered it in, i got a call on Monday saying the part wasn't in and that she would call me when it was in... it is now the end of August and I stll haven't heard anything. I've called, texted, anf left a message on Facebook and nothing. My suggestion if you go here, get everything done that day otherwise it won't get don't. They are very nice, they teach while you are there... but if my car really needed something important I'd be shit out of luck. read more

I went to Mose Auto because of an issue I had with my car and they helped me fix the problem. Mose Auto and the team will make sure to resolve your car problems. read more

Mose is great. Easy to work with, informative, and totally reasonable. I'm so glad a friend recommended her a couple years back. She must be one of the best car doctors around. read more

One of the best experiences I've had with a mechanic. Mose was communicative and honest! Two things that are hard to come by with mechanics in my experience. The pricing was also very doable and was clear about where my money was going. Would recommend! Thank you! read more

An honest qualified auto shop! Car goes in (towed) suspecting the need for an expensive new alternator. Battery is not getting a charge but will with external charging. Rather than just going with that they continue investigating to find only a loose bolt keeping the charge from getting to the battery! Imagine my delight and relief. They could have just replaced the alternator as most places would have but kept looking instead. Respect! read more

Thank you to the wonderful people at Mose Auto for the awesome deal on tires and the quick turnaround. You have a customer for life.

I've been going to Maria for about four years now and it has been a pleasant experience. Maria is honest and provides quick service at an affordable cost. I appreciate the fact that she always charges me a stable rate for my oil change, instead of randomly inflating the price as many chains do! She also makes an effort to educate her customers about car maintenance. read more

I'm never going to another mechanic again! I went to Mose a few months back to get my semiannual oil change/general checkup on my 2016 honda. She was SUPER thorough, and explained each step of what she was doing as well (since I had asked - I wanted to understand my car better). She even had me duck under the car with her so that she could show me how to change the oil myself, if I wanted to in the future. She found (and fixed) a few things that Honda of Fife totally screwed up (i.e. using power tools on plastic screws...they were 100% stripped), and was extremely reasonable with pricing. I've had multiple friends go to Mose as well for a huge range of services, and all have had the same awesome experience. read more

Mose is incredible! As someone who doesn't know very much about cars, I often feel worried about getting ripped off by folks working on my car. Since finding Mose, I no longer have that worry! I trust her with my car completely. Mose always clearly explains the work that she's doing, is upfront about what repairs are necessary right away and what can wait, and is very direct about price points. She completes repairs quickly and has been very accommodating of my schedule. I cannot recommend Mose Auto more! read more

Mariajose knows her stuff and her prices are very reasonable. I hope she will be able to continue to fit me in to her busy schedule. It's hard to find a mechanic I can trust, and I got really lucky with her. read more

I feel bad for not writing this sooner! Maria Jose and her staff are amazing! My car clunked out across the street from them a few weeks ago. Within minutes they had pulled my car to their lot and Mariajose was driving me home so I could continue with my day! They had my car fixed in just hours and the price was amazing. Support local business! read more
