On a whim, I took a chance on Defiance Auto after finding him on Yelp in Ruston -- a young MOBILE MECHANIC. The gods must've been smiling, because he turned out to be polite, efficient, knowledgeable, and even took the time to research my unusual issue. Hands down, he's the best mechanic I've ever worked with. His prices were more than fair, too. This young man makes thirty veteran mechanics look like Goober Pyle from Mayberry. All I can say is, "Goooooolllllleeee!" Give this hardworking guy a try. You will not regret it. He will come to Vashon. his name is Mick Svoboda of Defiance Auto (253) 999-8531 Defianceautoworks.com

Been dealing with them for years. ALWAYS do great work at a very fair price. Just called again to…read morefind out the price for work I needed done, asked if I could get the work done before I leave town in a couple days. Told me he could if I could bring the car in to confirm parts. I did, they confirmed and ordered the part. I asked how long the job would take and he told me how long and explained in detail why it took the time it takes. Was on Chat GPT, (just learning to use that). It gave me the exact same info Jadin did, right down to the part options and amount of time to fix it as well as why this part was a little more difficult on my car. EXACTLY what I was told. I wasn't checking up on them just wanted to see if Chat GPT could be useful for this kind of thing. It is and it confirmed, again, why I trust these guys. You should too.

I called a couple of storefront type repair places and neither one of them could get me in for a week. It was their only answer but it wasn't a good answer for me So I called these guys, they were here within half an hour, diagnosed what was wrong with my car, went and picked up parts, had me up and running within 45 minutes total. Nice guys, reasonable I would think so, if I have issues I will call them again.

Pretty frustrating experience here for my first time dealing with them…read more I brought my car in for a noise I couldn't pinpoint, I suspected it was in the clutch. It clearly started overheating on my way in, thus the noise was probably the water pump. Quoted me a little more than $500 to replace the water pump, seemed good so I told them to do it. After the water pump fix I was informed that it still had a noise and it needed a new clutch throw out bearing. I had to take their word for it because I could not come listen myself. I had originally been told they could get to it that day, after calling two days later to check in I was told they had not got it apart yet. This is a job that literally took me 3 hours, but a professional shop wasn't done two days later? After taking it apart they told me it was indeed the throw out bearing so I agreed to having it replaced. They called back an hour later telling me the clutch was in fact damaged and also needed replaced. I had no option but to agree to the repair because I needed my vehicle back without them being angry and causing more issues. After everything was over I had spent a solid $3,000 on what was most likely just a water pump. I'm pretty sure they took advantage of the fact that I had no way to verify that the vehicle needed the clutch work they claimed it needed nor could I inspect the parts they removed. I'm pretty mechanically inclined and had already changed this clutch previously, so it's not like I don't know what I'm talking about. I did this clutch replacement and had everything back together and the vehicle on the road literally in a single day. It took these guys a week, and only because I started calling to pressure them since I needed the vehicle back so my wife could get to work, that's why I had called to schedule this repair in the first place. Upon getting the vehicle back the passenger seat was absolutely covered in grease stains where the mechanics climbed in it while working on it without covering it up. So now we have to have the interior detailed in the hopes of getting these grease stains out. I'm pretty frustrated with my first experience here, they came highly recommended, but this is one of the worst shops I've dealt with in a long time. I highly doubt I'll be returning here.
