Great and fast service at good prices! Got my F150 inspected and repaired in the same day. Luke is very professional and discussed the repairs with me with a quote for repairs after the inspection. Would recommend to anyone in need of brake/suspension repair. read more

Went in for an oil change no oil leaks. Got done and oil leaks . Valve cover was only hand tight then that shop "Washington way in Longview Wa."closed down!! No wonder!! read more

My son went here after he was told he would need new brake pads by a mobile mechanic about 8 months ago. He in fact did not need anything and this shop did not take advantage of a 25 year old kid who knows nothing about cars....instead they were honest and kind and told him everything to do with his brakes were good and didnt even charge for the inspection! 100% this WILL be where he goes when it IS time for brake work!!! Can't recommend them enough!!! read more

This place is very busy and I needed my brakes done right away. He never got my phone message. I am still going to try and get a quote from him. All the other places are really expensive and I am on social security. read more

I scoped out a few places to get my brakes done, and Luke was hands down the best. Accommodating, honest, and best of all--NO mansplaining. His shop is clean, he's fast, and he really goes above and beyond. While I was waiting for my brakes, one of his other clients stopped by for him to check something, and you could tell right away he's someone people truly trust and rely on. Recently my check engine light came on (outside the scope of the brake work), he still let me bring the car in, scanned it, and reassured me it was just a loose gasket--not anything to worry about. He reset it for me on the spot. I'm so glad I found him--highly recommend! read more

If anyone comes across this post just stop.!! This is the place to get your brakes DONE. I dropped off my car and got it back today on the 4th of July. The price of the work was beyond better than any other shop I checked online. Value5/5 service 5/5 customer service 5/5. I will be using this place as my go to from now on. No more scouring the web for a good place. I found it. Thank you Luke.!!!! read more

Of course, just before a long trip all these maintenance lights go off in the car. Got it into the Brake Shop - they found the source of the problem, gave us a fair quote. With that fix and an oil change, we were safely on our way. Loved that they had great communication, gave prompt and good service at a fair price. Will definitely use them again. read more

Super!!! I can't recommend The Brake Shop enough! I received a quote at the Nissan dealership service, which was far, so I decided to fix the brake issue locally. Not knowing anything about mechanics, I wanted to fix it at the lowest reasonable cost while doing so safely, since I was selling the car. They checked the brakes right away FOR FREE and gave me a quote, which was much more reasonable than Nissan's estimate. I decided to fix only the critical part, which they agreed to, too, and booked the date right away. I brought my laptop to the waiting area, which is maintained very clean and made comfortable. Two hours were quick, and they changed the engine at the same time (for a fee). They operate the entire process very professionally and smoothly. Thank you, Luke! read more

I've been bringing my cars to The Brake Shop for years. I can always depend on Luke to be fair, honest, compassionate and reasonably priced. He does a thorough job. If there is ever a problem, he will make it right. He's done so much for my vehicles over the years including brakes, suspension, front end parts, spark plugs, headlights and much more. If the repair is not in his scope of practice he will be honest and refer you to someone who can do the job right. My first stop for brakes and so much more. I love that I am supporting local small business as well. Great job Luke! Always happy with your work. read more

Took my Subaru in for removal of lug nut and did tire rotation for me too. Love this place. Good honest people you can trust. Highly recommended. Thanks. read more

Great service, reliable and not too expensive. Luke at the front has been there quite a while and knows what he's doing .

badly needed new brake pads and rotors, luke was able to get me in same day. Quick, fair price

I called this business after seeing the reviews but nobody answered at first so I thought they were too busy. However, Luke called back in a few minutes and after talking about our brake problem he said that he could get it in and out today. Our take on this place = reasonable and professional. He showed us what was going on and recommended what needed to be done so we walked over to the gyro place for lunch and Trader Joes while he worked on it. Glad we came here and recommend this shop for brakes. read more

There is not a better shop to go to for suspension and brake repairs or maintenance in Portland/Vancouver Metro area. I am moving 90 miles away soon but I will drive back to Vancouver and the Brake Shop whenever I need a brake job done. There is nobody more honest, more fairly priced, and more professional than Luke, the owner of the shop. Obviously, I highly recommend The Brake Shop. read more

I took my car here after getting an expensive diagnosis elsewhere. The brake shop did a great job demonstrating the other diagnosis was wrong. Brakes are done and working well. Great job! read more

Occasionally, I run across a Business which far exceeds my expectations. This morning I showed up for my 8:30 AM appointment a little early, and saw a gentlemen working hard cleaning the waiting room floor. When entering the building....I found it spotless. After waiting 15-20 minutes for my trucks brakes to be bled, (my own diagnosis) Luke announced he checked the system and only adjusted the back brakes, which took the "spongyness" out of the brake pedal, so he didn't have to bleed them. Luke also reported finding a small leak in the right rear wheel, which explains the small oil slicking my driveway. Since the leak might be a rear axle seal, (which he doesn't repair) he only wanted me to be aware of that situation. Luke then said there wouldn't be any $ charge today, as he only adjusted the brakes for me. Now I ask you, how many times does that happen to you when taking your vehicle to a repair shop! My brakes are fine and my attitude is even better. I normally do all my own truck and automotive repair, because I don't trust them with just anyone. The Brake Shop is now one of my exceptions. I am confident you will be extremely pleased with their work and how pleasant they are as well! Bill A. 25 February 25 read more

Highly recommend! These guys did a fantastic job on my brakes! Customer service is awesome. My brakes were causing my car to shake pretty bad before. They shaved my rotors and replaced a brake pad. My car feels so smooth now, no more shaking. Wasn't too pricey either. Will definitely be back in the future for my brake needs! (: read more

I took my car here today to get my brakes checked. They definitely live up to the great reviews! Luke checked my brakes and reassured me that they were good. He was honest and that goes a long way with me. When the time comes for my brakes to be replaced, I will definitely be bringing my car here. read more

I am new to Vancouver, I am a transplant from Beaverton. My friend recommended this place . I went there today to get my brakes checked because I took my car to the Mazda dealership they said it was crucial I needed brakes, and Luke was honest he said I didn't need brakes right now. He is friendly, quick, and honest. I will take my car here to get serviced. read more

Amazing service! I went in because my car started to shake every time I pressed the brakes. I knew it was the rotors and assumed I had to get them replaced. With a little brake inspection from Luke he said I didn't need to replace my rotors yet but only resurface them. I have never met a more honest mechanic ever! I am a forever customer and will always go back. I highly recommend coming here for your brakes. 5 stars!!!!!!! read more

My father-in-law has been going here for years and recommended. We went by and had a brake check done after a different mechanic told us our brakes were dangerously low among many other things. I walked in with no appointment and the guy who greeted me was seriously the nicest guy. He came out right away to look at it and told me that I had 8 to 10,000 miles left on these brakes. He wasn't just trying to get my money like the other shop. Honest hard-working people. They also have a Nespresso machine inside, so the amenities are incredible lol. read more

I went here because of the positive reviews and I wasn't disappointed. So honest! When I asked whether I needed a brake flush as recommended by another mechanic he told me that it wasn't needed at this time. I'll definitely have him do the job when my car needs it! read more

The Brake Shop offers you a "no gimmicks" approach up front and Luke, its only employee/owner, does exactly that. I came to Luke for a second opinion on my brakes after a so-called honest mechanic told me I needed all four wheels to be done, including four new discs. I was skeptical so I scheduled an appointment with Luke and he quickly put my car on the lift and showed me that I still had plenty of miles left on all my discs, 8 to 10 thousand miles worth. He also told me that my front discs could be turned, when the time came, rather than having to replace them. He was thorough, patient and even filled up my tires with air. The only down side to Luke is that he doesn't do everything, he's mostly a brake and suspension guy, altho he does work on most 4 cylinder cars for tune ups and the like. Finding a good mechanic can be one of the most difficult things to do when it comes to car ownership, Luke was a wonderful find, and one that was even close to home. By way of history, Luke is the son of Steve, the original owner of the Brake Shop and Luke's dad. Steve has moved on to work on a higher level now, leaving The Brake Shop in Luke's capable hands. I have often found that single owner mechanics can overbook themselves leaving customers waiting, but Lukes seems to have found a balance to that equation that gets the work done and leaves his customers satisfied, just read the other reviews. read more

See all

Luke is awesome! He's all about customer service and quality. We came in for a tune up, he also fit in a brake job bc we were definitely in need of it. Definitely our mechanic! read more

Quick responses, quick estimate, quick service at a great price. Agree with all the other 5 star reviews!

Yet another 5 star review should tell you something. Took my 2020 Navigator here for screeching and pulsation brakes. Not the front as I thought, the rears, the fronts had plenty of life left. Job done 2 hrs earlier than I expected, labor and parts $$ a great value and cheaper than I estimated. If your vehicle needs brakes this is the go to facility. It's rare you come away from throwing money at your car maintenance wise with a smile on your face, this place is the exception. I wont go anywhere else going forward. read more

I made an appointment for a brake job and oil change. Ended up only needing an oil change. They were completely honest and told me that the brakes were good and not ready to replace yet. I was quoted a price on the oil change. I was misquoted on the price, needs 6 not 5 quarts ot oil, but he wasn't going to charge me for it. I gladly paid the difference willingly. I WILL be back when the brakes are needing replacing! Thanks for the great experience!!! read more

People over at The Brake Shop do great work! I had them work on my Acura MDX two separate times - once to replace my brake pads & rotors and another time to fix wheel bearings/hub assembly. I called around to a few nearby auto mechanics and the Brake Shop was comparable, if not cheaper. Luke was very friendly and he even checked back to make sure we were happy with brake service - which we were very satisfied with. Also, I appreciate their honesty as car/wheels had been making a noise that was consistently getting worse. Luke said we only needed driver side wheel bearing replaced. They fixed issue and couldn't be happier! Happy to find a local trustworthy mechanic and shop that keeps my car running smooth. A+++ read more

Luke does a great job.. Amazing work. Prices are very reasonable. Got it done the same day. Gave me exactly what I asked for! Couldn't of had a better experience! Thank you Brake Shop for the amazing service!! ​​ read more

Very affordable, Luke was very friendly and the repair did not take long at all. We will for sure be coming back here for any future needs for our vehicles and recommending him to everyone. read more

I took my truck in to have the rotors turned and pads replaced. Unfortunately, they couldn't turn the rotors on my dodge as the hub and rotors are one piece. They did look over everything and lubed my calipers. They told me that actually everything looked fine and charged me nothing at all. You gotta love a car repair place that's honest and willing to do a little work. read more

I was overdue to have my brakes checked and decided to have The Brake Shop take a look at our Subaru. Luke did a visual inspection and determined I definitely needed the front pads replaced and rotors turned. The rear brakes still have some life in them so no replacement needed at this time. I made an appointment a few days later and all done. I am extremely pleased with the service, communication and competitive pricing I received. This will now be our families go-to shop for brakes. Like others have stated- honest, friendly and quality work. Can't ask for any more than that. Thank you Luke! read more

I highly recommend The Brake Shop if you want to take your vehicle somewhere that you can trust the work on your vehicle as well as the people doing it! They work quickly and do not overcharge and take good care of you, like you are part of their family. You can trust them to do the best thing by you! read more

Good service, fast and reasonable prices. The only downside is that getting scheduled can be a challenge because you can only book by calling on the phone. read more

I called in, spoke with Luke. Told him the reason why I was calling and he definitely helped out as much as possible. I got my rear back drum shoes replaced on my 08 Chevy Silverado. Great service and communication overall. Thanks Luke! read more

I brought my car in for new brakes. I was sure I needed all new brakes. But after inspection, I only needed new back brakes and with a resurface of the front rotors, I was sent on my way for much less than it could have been. My car was also ready the same day and I had only called that morning so it was quick in and out. I am very happy with the service I received! read more

I have been a customer for almost 20 years. The Brake Shop deserves 5 stars every time. Today I made an appointment to fix my brakes since they had been squealing for about 4 months and I assumed they needed replacement. After inspecting my brakes, Luke told me that they were working fine and the squealing could be corrected. I was there for over an hour and was charged a nominal fee. Luke at the Brake Shop is the most honest automotive person I have ever met. Had I gone anywhere else, I am sure I would have a complete set of new brakes by now! This is my go-to place to have my brakes fixed, honest and reputable. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place. While he was looking at and fixing the loose line on my van he quickly peeked at a walk in's pass out in the lot. He just tries to make everyone happy and he succeeded. Also would not accept payment for tightening a bolt that was loose and adding brake fluid. Also looked at two lines that weren't replaced previously and told me there are no cracks and they don't need to be replaced. The last place we took it to said those needed to be replaced asap. Great folks! read more

Luke was amazing when I brought my grinding minivan in. Got me back on the road in no time. Would recommend 100%!

Worked with Luke to get my rear brakes done and it was honest the best experience I could have asked for from a mechanic. Honest and very helpful with the whole situation. Truly recommend this business to anyone that is looking for brake help! read more
