I've been a loyal customer at State Avenue Auto & muffler for many years. The work performed on my cars and trucks has always been of excellent quality. The owner, Jeff, is a great guy and, in my humble opinion, is one of the most honest businessmen I have ever worked with. I wouldn't go anyplace else to have my vehicles worked on.

They always say you do one good job they tell two people, you do a bad job they tell everybody. I would never take a vehicle to State Avenue for repairs after the botched head replacement job they did on my fathers (now mine) Chevrolet pickup. Stuff happens and you can only hope that the shop will step up and take care of it. Not this shop, the owner refused to accept any liability, blaming the tech he hired and the shop that supplied the replacement heads. After an 18 month battle with him and his insurance company we finally had to file a claim in the courts to get partially reimbursed for the re repairs. I cannot stress enough how important it is to find another shop to do business with. You may get lucky and they won't damage your vehicle working on it, but is it worth the risk? I feel that this review need not be forgotten. I don't care how many years it has been. Hence the repost. As I said do one bad job they tell everybody. read more

State Avenue Auto & Muffler - Auto Repair Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

The BEST Auto mechanic around! I needed some regular maintenance performed on my car and called around to a few places to get quotes. State Ave Auto gave me the lowest quote of anyone I called. I did a little research online and they were indeed well below the average price for auto service in the region. I took my car in a couple days later and they completed all of the work the same day at exactly the price they quoted. When I got home after picking up my car I couldn't shift it into park. I called them back (this is now 10 minutes before closing) and they said to bring it back and they would look at it. They checked it out and it turned out to be sticky brake light switch (completely unrelated to their repairs). The did a quick fix on the switch told me they could get a new switch and replace it the next morning. Even better, the next morning I brought my car in, they picked up a new switch from a local auto parts store, and replaced it in about 20 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised when they gave me the bill. All they charged was the cost of the switch. Just to reiterate, they checked out my car after hours, performed a quick fix, and replaced my brake light switch for FREE! Needless to say I was impressed. My girlfriend had taken her car to a different mechanic about a week earlier to have her car check out (funny enough, she also had a sticky brake light switch too). The other place charged her about $200 replace the switch and $100 for diagnostics. The other place also informed her of some maintenance she needed done (some real, some BS) and gave her a quote. About a week later, she took her car to State Ave Auto where they performed the work quickly, at a lower price than the other place's quote, and didn't try to push stuff that didn't need to be done. To summarize, I would recommend State Ave Auto to anyone and everyone. They have the lowest prices, the best service, and they do great work as far as I can tell! I would give them 6 stars if I could. read more

Reasonable prices for parts/labor. Friendly mechanics who don't talk down to you because you're a female. They are definitely my mechanics!

Broke but happy. Im not sure if on a pinched penny, that this would be a routine stop, but as i pulled in with an almost emergency situation, this was the place to be. My water pump was making a lot of racket and about to blow. The bays were stacked 2 cars deep and Jeff the owner said it would be the next day. After realizing my desperation and also a chance to make "good coin" he had his guys take care of me right away. I paid $237 for one shop hour of labor, $30 for 2 gallons of diluted coolant to replace what was drained and $47 for a new belt (neccesary?) that wasnt discussed, in addition to the needed normal priced water pump. Dale had it installed like a pro in about an hour. Great service! Kinda steep on the total of $413, but i guess thats what head of the line costs. Thanks Guys. read more

Wow! I trust these folks. Great service. I am very impressed worth their professionalism. I miss understand why they're so busy.

Great service. Priced fairly, doesn't try to sell you anything your car doesn't need.

Jeff was friendly, professional and performed excellent work on my car. I dropped my car off in the morning and got a call an hour later explaining what repair was needed, and the car was ready several hours later much to my delight. His price was reasonable and I trust him. I and my family will definitely return for our car issues. read more

This is the place to take your vehicle for repairs! They are friendly and kind in their service. They are honest and inexpensive, and back up their work. I have used them for years and many folks in town use them as well. I have never heard a complaint. They are very reasonable in their prices and do not try to take advantage of you or sell you things you don't need. They truly care about giving good service and keeping you car in good repair. I know people who drive from an hour away to bring their car to our little town for service. They are truly the best! read more

I've been taking my Subarus here for years. Jeff and his team are always efficient and accommodating, and I know that I've gotten good quality work at a very fair price. They make routine maintenance easy with a morning drop off and afternoon pickup, and when the work has been more complicated, phone calls with updates and expected completion times are not unusual. Recently I had Jeff look at a Subaru that I was considering buying. He squeezed me in with very little notice, gave me a thorough and honest appraisal of the car, and was very accommodating about a delayed pickup. I recommend State Avenue anytime someone asks about an honest, reliable, fairly priced auto repair shop! read more

Jeff, CJ and John are THEE only place to take your vehicle in Lewis County. They will solve any problem or lead you in the right direction.
