We bought a new car and needed a trailer hitch installed. I like to keep my business local and…read moreafter calling around for estimates we again returned to Smileys, and we are so glad we did. For one, the price was far less than the dealership we bought the car from, and secondly, Smiley's did a much nicer job installing the hitch, and the wiring. The woman at the front desk was very nice and stuck to her quote that she had given me when I made the appointment. If you need a trailer hitch installed I would highly recommend skipping I-5 Auto World and instead heading to Smiley's on the west side of Mount Vernon, your vehicle, and your bank account will be glad you did.

I had Dan build me a 235 inline 6 for my 1951 Chevrolet 3800 long bed pickup that was the service…read moretruck for the first Chevrolet dealership in the Pacific NW. It is an untouched survivor, a rare truck that sat idle since 1974. It is a very important special truck. I explained that I needed it to be as factory correct as possible. He understood the importance of the build and produced a beautiful engine. He cleaned the original 2 stage fuel pump to perfection. He kept me in the loop during the build showing me photos of the process. I was not able to be there when he ran it for its break in period but did send a video showing pressures and operation. The attention to detail was outstanding and the paint job was perfect. The engine ran perfectly. There was one slight leak that popped up ( happens) but Dan stood behind his work, fixed it and I could not be happier. I highly recommend Dan for his engine rebuilds. In today's world it is hard to find a reputable, honest machine shop. You can trust Dan. I am Washington states collector car appraiser and ex Concours judge. I am very picky with respect to my vehicles. Thank you Dan for finishing off this very special truck Greg Prince Prestige Collector Car Appraisal

I brought a simple but unusual problem to Gary. He took it back to his workshop and started working…read moreon it. About five minutes later, he finished and handed my parts back to me. "That's $20," he said. Surprisingly I actually had some cash on me, but as I handed over the bill I'm thinking to myself "Wow, I wish I made $240 an hour." He got the job done within acceptable parameters, but I generally appreciate it when a business gives me an estimate of charges before performing the work. I could have bought new parts for around what he charged, and probably would have if I'd known up front.

Gentleman was short with me on the phone when I called asking some beginner's questions about my…read morefirst rebuild. Over the 5-10 minute call, I felt as though he was uninterested in meeting me where I was at, offering me advice, or perhaps he just didn't want to touch my engine. To give him benefit of the doubt, I HAD called near closing time. Also possible that he's overworked... whatever it was, I understand. That was my sole verbal interaction with a representative of this company. Several weeks since then, I've emailed Action Machine Shop with specific questions regarding work I'd like done on my engine and requesting a quote. I have not heard back in 4 business days. By this point I've seen zero interest from Action Machine in taking my money & business. I may not be their ideal client. At this point, between two well-known shops in the Seattle area, I'm happy sitting on the 6-month waiting list for Pacific Auto Machine. I'd rather wait my turn than beg this shop on my hands and knees to work on my lowly Toyota 4 cylinder, let alone teach me a thing or two.

Action Machine has detailed pricing on their website and from that I quoted the customer a price. 2 hours of my labor to remove the head and an hour to drive to Action only to find out the prices on their website aren't accurate. The new price was +$200 more than what I had quoted my customer. This is called Bait and Switch, is dishonest and broke any trust I had with this business. Didn't feel I could trust them if they told me I had bent valves, worn guides or a warped surface. Discussed with the customer and they decided this was out of their budget and had also lost confidence in this shop to do honest work. I retrieved the head before they did any thing. My customer will bank the $$$ and just put up with the rough idle.
