Our old Ford Ranger suddenly lost its AC. Premier had good ratings and is open 7 days a week! The owner saw the car on Saturday, demonstrated the cause to me in a few minutes, ordered the part and installed it today, Sunday! That is hard to beat. He seems very honest and explains everything. I asked him about any other issues with our 26 year old truck. He pointed out some problems that should be addressed but none were immediate necessities. I plan to go back and have the work done there. Highly recommend. read more

My husband was on a road trip in his Chevy Volt and had a problem where his car engine failed to start. He would not have been able to get home on battery alone. He found Premier Auto in Mt Vernon and they were open early on a Saturday morning. Azeem, the owner, was there and was able to diagnose his car and get him back on the road. read more

i had my vehicle towed to this shop since this was listed as a preferred shop by my insurance. the shop has had a recent incident and at least one of the shop bays is closed but there is signage posted that they are still open regular hours and accepting business. I was contacted on Monday that they would be able to begin working on my vehicle between Wednesday and Thursday. as of today, Thursday, I was contacted by a different person from this business claiming that they had attempted to call me yesterday, but from a personal phone and left no voicemail, stating that the shop is closed and will not be available for work for up to two more weeks. the people aren't even communicating with each other and are wasting peoples time and money. they need to fully post that they are closed to business and tell tow companies and insurance not to bring vehicles in until they are functional again. this is outrageous and a complete waste of the last five days where I possibly could have had it already looked at and addressed at an actual shop that is operating normally and honestly. highly dissatisfied and disappointing. read more

I requested a repair to fix my running lights constantly going out on me and was told to drop it off and they'd take a look at it. I asked if they could give me quote for the repair and was told they couldn't tell me until they went over and serviced it, so I agreed only to be told they had to keep it as they had to wait on a part...over a week goes by to be told they won't be able to get the part and I could come get my vehicle....they charged me almost $500 to service it and a holding fee even though I was told they were waiting on the part. And to top it all off they didn't even put back together any of the panels or anything they took apart! The lady behind the counter was also very rude ): definitely don't recommend. read more

Excellent service, fair pricing, punctual and professional! Top tier!! Thank you Azeem and staff!! AC is freezing!

This guy is a rip off He tried charging me 2,300 for my axle and wheel bearing. I went to another mechanic called "MD AUTOMOTIVE" and he was willing to do the same job for $300. MD AUTOMOTIVE has way better deals and they get the job done fast. read more

Great customer service and fair pricing. Quality work. Does not cheap out and keeps you updated with what's going on! Trusted mechanic and will continue to go back if my vehicle needs to be serviced. read more

Azeem did such a great job on my car and customer service was outstanding!! I really appreciate the hard work and how well they went over things in detail. I had came here after an oil change gone wrong at Vasoline. I will never take my car any where else but here! Best trusted service and prices! If you need a car mechanic come here!! He's the best read more

Within minutes of my contact with Yelp, I received a message from Azeem from Premier Auto Repair located in Mount Vernon, WA.. I immediately contacted him, and he provided me with excellent information and corrective measures I could take to initially rule out common problems with my car. He was most helpful, thoughtful and considerate and told me that I could contact him anytime I needed assistance. A second note. Received another message from Azeem just wondering if I've found assistance for my vehicle. What a grand gesture from a business owner, one I've never done business within the past. I informed him that I had found some service here in Oak Harbor and again thanked him for his consideration. read more

My boyfriend was moving his things back from Bellingham to Olympia on Sunday. We found out we needed to replace the alternator and didn't feel safe driving back to Olympia. Many places are closed on Sundays but I thought I would try to message businesses anyways in case anyone would be available. Thankfully, Azeem responded quickly and told me to call him anytime after hours. His shop normally is closed on Sundays but he was able to accommodate us and help us with ordering the parts and installing it right away Sunday afternoon, relieving all of our stresses. Overall, service was amazing! He's honest and even educated us a little bit which is helpful. Super friendly and quick! I wholeheartedly would recommend him for anything you need done to your car! We appreciate your flexibility so much, thanks for saving the day! read more

I waited for 30 minutes for someone to show up for my appointment I will not try again, pretty unprofessional! read more

I drove to Mount Vernon from Canada for a family vacation. My front right brake calipers seized 2 days before we were supposed to go home. Brought my car to this auto repair shop. Mechanic told me that the brake calipers, brake pads and rotors on both front wheels need to be replaced at the same time even though the left side looked fine and it was just changed less than 2 years ago. I felt pressured into getting both sides done. He gave me an estimate of just over $800. He also discovered that the driveshaft was failing. He told me to get it repaired immediately, otherwise the car is unsafe to drive at high speeds. He did not have all the parts needed to complete the repairs that day, so I picked up the car to drive it back to my Airbnb. He charged me just over $1700, which included a prepayment for the driveshaft repair even though he did not do any work on it yet. He should have given me an invoice of no more than 110% of the initial estimate and provided me with a new estimate for repairing the driveshaft, according to my understanding of state auto repair standards. I also found it sketchy that I had to prepay for additional work that had not yet been done. I brought the car back to the shop the next day. I was later informed that the entire driveline needed to be replaced, now the total cost is $2800. I asked the shop to not do anymore work and return my car but the technician would not release it because he said I will kill my family and others on the road if I drive it. I didn't get the chance to take the car to another shop to get a second opinion or get it towed. I was pressured to complete the repairs at his shop. He had no legal right to keep my car. The estimated value of my vehicle is around $3000. If I knew the final cost was going to be that high, I would have seriously considered scrapping it. The entire process felt like coercion. I requested a courtesy car to drive my family home. They had one available but it had not been detailed. It was filthy, with dog hair, garbage, dog food, strong odor, with almost no gas in the tank. The steering wheel felt stuck temporarily as I backed the car out, so I asked the technicians as I'm leaving if the car was safe to drive. Two technicians confirmed it was safe. While driving, the left turning signal did not work consistently, the check engine and TPMS lights were both on, and the power window on the driver door was malfunctioning. I later discovered that the right rear tire was underinflated. After I got home, I talked to my own mechanic and his colleague, and both of them advised me that the left front brake calipers did not need replacement. He was convinced I was preyed upon in a desperate situation. Performing unnecessary auto work is not good business ethic. When I went to pick up my car, I discussed my concerns with the staff. He denied any wrongdoing. After a long discussion, he offered a $700 discount, and apologized for our experience. This review is not meant to be defamatory to this business or its employees. I am sharing my experience to help others make better decisions for themselves. While I appreciate the technician's speedy service on a Sunday morning when other repair shops were closed, his genuine concern for our safety, his courtesy car, and his desire to get my car in the best shape possible for a safe trip home, I later realized the business conduct was not in accordance with best practice standards. The only option I was given was to fix the car at all costs, no matter the price. Overall, a negative experience, but I give it 2 stars rather than 1 because the technician was kind enough to chat with me for a long time over the phone on his vacation and offered a discount. However, these gestures do not absolve this business of its unethical conduct. read more

Our car was running rough and had a check engine light. It was a Saturday and we were away from home, but Premier Auto were able to get us in immediately. They were straightforward, sympathetic and honest. They diagnosed our issue and we were back on the road again in a couple of hours. Highly recommended. read more

Premier did the basics - oil change, wipers, parking brake adjustment, etc. and also diagnosed and fixed an intermittent wiring issue involving the connectors under the seats of my RAM truck. Good service, fair price, very professional and courteous. Highly recommended. read more

Awesome service, professional and great communication. I just found my new favorite auto shop in Bham. Thanks Azeem for your great service today. read more

Highly recommend Premier Auto Repair!! I travel in my 95 Ford van, and just as I was about to head to Montana on a Saturday morning it started acting up. Azeem was able to look at it right away on Saturday morning, ordered the parts, and completed the work on a Sunday. Not to mention he was such a nice guy and very accommodating since I am not from the area. I drove about 800 miles the follow day and everything runs perfect. I am so thankful he was able to do the work! read more

This place is great. Can't say enough good things. The owner called me a few hours after the repair to double check my car was all good.

My daughter hit a curb yesterday in her mini cooper and wasnt sure what to do. While she is 30 years old, she has had many health issues including strokes which have caused some cognitive impairments. If you saw her, you would think she was a teen age. Most shops would have taken advantage of this. Fortunately, kazeem Abbas at premier auto took the time to put her car up and unbolt the barrier and took the time to show her that no damage had been done to the vehicle. He didnt charge her for his time or for the use of his hoist. Most shops would have charged her something and or taken advantage of her lack of knowledge about cars. Thank you kind sir for looking out for my daughter and not taking advantage of her. You have restored my faith in humanity. read more

Need repairs? CALL PREMIER! Azeem and his crew were awesome from start to finish. I called several other shops in town but the soonest any of them could get to me was a week. I needed repairs done to my collapsing steering system right away. I called Azeem and he didn't hesitate. He said "yes, bring it in. We will look at it and get it done". Including ordering parts and installation it only took 4 days for everything and I was able to drive away with my trailer in tow; steering working perfectly, and still does. Plus, I was charged a more than fair price for the work, that did not include any type of rush charge, even though he/they did rush the work to help me out of a jam. Seriously, patronize this shop. You'll thank me. And thank you Azeem for your dedication to your customers and quality of work. Also, I have no affiliation with Premier, I'm just a very satisfied customer. read more

Honest and knew exactly what needed to be done! Was able to get my car fixed the day I called! Definitely recommend.

The owners provides excellent customer service and is extremely honest. I will be taking all of my vehicles here in the future. You can tell he really takes pride his business and providing quality service ! read more

The license plate light on my car wasn't working, and I called Premier to see how soon they could take a look at it. They got me in the next day, and fixed it within 2 hours for a reasonable price for the amount of work it required (had to check the wiring and fuses). Azeem is a very nice person to work with. I will go back to Premier in the future. read more

I approached this auto repair place with a bit of apprehension, never knowing how I might be treated and what quality of service I might receive for my car. I was going to an auto repair because I had just had installed a third-party trailer hitch that left my 2015 Subaru Forester with a bad rattle -- muffler hitting against bulky hitch frame. Now with a persistent rattle as I drove around the neighborhood, I figured my car had been devalued by $5000! I showed RJ several blog posts about how this issue had been resolved by others -- basically placing space between the muffler and the hitch frame. RJ looked under the car, then popped back up stating without hesitation that the problem could be fixed. OK, but how I asked. He then told me that yes, he was an auto mechanic, but more, he was in fact a fabricator (with a PhD in automotive mechanics), and he could fix anything. A week later I was back where I met Azeem, the owner. He put my car on the lift, pointed to me where exactly was the problem. He shook the muffler and asked whether that was the rattle sound I was hearing. Yes, it was. He said come back in an hour and it would be fixed. 30 minutes later, he called me back, showed me the fix and the now ample spacing between the muffler and the trailer hitch. Then he physically shifted the muffler around to demonstrate there would be no more interference. We took a drive together around the neighborhood to double check the fix -- not a rattle could be heard. I am very happy with the outcome, how I was treated, and the excellent quality service my car received. Now I figure my car had suddenly appreciated $5000! Any more car issues and I will be back. Thanks. read more
