AutoMetrics saved my husband's beloved Crystal from becoming a charitable donation. When our 2000…read moreAudi A6 would not start and the diagnostic app didn't give a clue, we took the advice of a friend and turned to the AutoMetrics guys and they nailed it. Our Audis have always been tended by our local dealer and when they abandoned our town, we have had to go to Tri-Cities. We are now sold on staying local again and both our Audis will be trusted to AutoMetrics. Why? It did not take long to get scheduled and they accepted the car early since we were depending on a tow for transport. Communication was outstanding. On the day of Crystal's appointment, we learned right away what the problem was and given the good news that the part and labor wouldn't break the bank. The next day the call came that the repair was complete and the car ready for pick up. Tow-off to pick up was 3 days. This business was easy to work with, friendly, knowledgeable, organized, well equipped, and well staffed.

We recently moved to Yakima and were not sure we would be able to find a shop to take our Volvo. We…read morehad a great shop in Portland so were a bit nervous about finding something as good in Yakima. As it turns out, I believe we found something better. Based on the reviews of AutoMetrics, it seemed that it might be a good fit. A good fit is an understatement! I took our car in this morning for an oil change as well as asking them to check out a possible suspension issue in the front end. Terry and Valentine were both personable and knowledgeable, both taking the time to discuss the suspension issue. Everyone in the shop was friendly and very professional. The shop was one of the cleanest and well organized I've ever seen. Our previous shop in Portland was the exact opposite. Erik went for a test ride with me to assess the suspension issue and immediately had some ideas on what the problem might be. Voila! The oil got changed and the suspension issue turned out to be nothing. Prices were incredibly reasonable and I left with a feeling of confidence knowing our car had been expertly tended to. And to top things off, when I went out to get in my car, I discovered they had washed it! We will definitely go back! Amazing!

Above and Beyond - Truly Exceptional Service…read more A couple of days ago, my truck's clutch gave out while I was driving from Seattle to Boise for an urgent family matter. I was stranded on the highway and really in a pickle -- but calling Ruggles Auto Repair turned everything around. From the very first call, they treated me like family. They offered to drive me after hours to a nearby town just so I could rent a car and make it to where I needed to be. The next day, they worked tirelessly--well past closing time--to replace the clutch and get me safely back on the road. They even brought me lunch while I was waiting in the lobby. Who does that anymore? Their kindness, honesty, and dedication are something you just don't see often these days. If you ever need car repairs and want to be treated with genuine care and respect, Ruggles Auto Repair is the place to go. They turned a stressful breakdown into a reminder that there are still great people and great businesses out there.

So thankful for everyone at Ruggles Auto Repair! Today they arranged a tow from my home and…read morecompleted the repair while I was at work--something that would've been a major headache anywhere else. One of the biggest frustrations I've had with car maintenance is finding service that works around a full-time schedule. Ruggles consistently finds ways to make things easier, and that flexibility is a game-changer. Now, I know this might sound like a biased review--my mom, Deana, is the warm, welcoming face you'll see at the front desk. But hear me out: I've watched time and time again as everyday customers receive the same care and attention I do. Whether it's Victor going the extra mile or the team doing what they can to accommodate real-life schedules, they treat people with genuine care. That's not family favoritism--it's just who they are. If you happen to wait for your service, you'll find comfy chairs (dangerously good for an accidental nap) and a welcoming, down-to-earth shop atmosphere. My whole family and I happily recommend Ruggles Auto Repair. Thanks again, you guys. You really make a stressful process feel easy.

Addendum to 1st review…read more 3 u-joints charged to my m-i-l in the repairs. The driveline takes 2 u-joints; . Fraud or error? Earlier bill shows B&C installed valve cover gasket ~2 months before they did the same job again, with scant new mileage. The need was identified by White Pass Garage, and B & C's charged a second time for the repair, assuming it was done either time.. not sure. Still a pool of oil to the inside of the driver's side valve cover. Either not cleaned up or still leaking. First r&r of valve cover cost my m-i-l over $200 for labor, and the second time, 2 months or so later, with few additional miles on the van, they charged another $300+ for labor. Same with fixing the leaking AC o-rings from the earlier visit. They charged her again to fix their first poor install, and noted it didn't include a recharge. Thus the heat from AC on the way north was poor. Heat on defrost was barely sufficient at +6 degrees f. exterior temperature while rolling on the highway with defrost on hot. Thermostat will be pulled and inspected. If not a 195 f. t-stat as stated it was (which I'm skeptical of now), that'll be another area of formal address. Shop failed to assess the function of a freeze-plug heater, though they IDed it. "We didn't trace the cord, and we don't know if it works." Why? Pre-trip inspection to the sub-arctic, ~3,000 miles, and they didn't think it was helpful? (*Upon pick-up of the van, the younger 'mechanic' found the -checked- cord for the freeze-plug heater coiled on top of ac-related box on firewall in plain view. So how much time was actually spent under this thing?. Defroster/heat fan blower motor making worn bearing sounds @ start-up at +55 f. in Yakima. Headed north with a heater fan motor about to die? Worse now, too. They had to have heard this. The vacuum lines were to be checked, with hardened or questionable lines replaced. They spliced into existing hardened lines, and replaced the lines they could easily reach. Left hardened lines, etc, in. Upper heater hose from radiator to firewall is aged, scale on the outside/OLD and not solid/safe. Not replaced. 12" of standard heater hose and 2 new clamps would've been a cheap job to make it safe; maybe 15" ? Not sure lower radiator hose was changed, though it was supposed to be. Looks swollen. Will inspect upon removal when we check the t-stat.. Upper hose is new. Heat riser tube from exhaust manifold to the bottom of air intake housing is crumpled at the lower end and not hooked up. That way upon receipt of the van. Rear u-join installed using half-moon clamps at the pinion yoke, but no inner c-clips used, caused increasing vibration, led to firm decision to take the ferry as the (then still undiscovered) result of the cap on one leg of the u-joint walking out of the clamp, leaving a pin bearing broken, a seal blown out on the u-joint, and a generally unsafe condition. (*Cost hundreds of dollars in Whitehorse to remedy this, along with a new-to-me driveline, as the forward u-joint had outer c-clips forced into the exterior, rather than the proper innner c-clips and thus the ears of that yoke were bent. I have the c-clips from where they were forced into exterior positions; the c-clips were ground on a grinder, complete with blue-ish burnishing marks of unequal depth, 1 end thicker than the other = unequal pressure on bearing caps. Temper of metal c-clips after heating/grinding? House battery was dead upon pick-up, and we later found a blown fuse under the dash, leading to the solenoid that connects the charging system for the van to the system for the rv. Discovered & repaired bare wiring on a 12v hoop fitting at a relay on the firewall that was a hazzard. We fixed it in Canada. Erratic high-speed wobbling of the driveline due to improper install of the u-joint = increased play in the output bushing at the transmission cone, and posisbly the seal there, as well as the output bearing at the plate ahead of the cone. Wear traceable to poor install on the u-joints. The transmission output to the speedometer cable is still leaking. Needs a new o-ring, perhaps, but still leaking. A 5" job. They had the van most recently for ~2 weeks, w/ a thorough list for repairs from White Pass Garage, as well as a thorough list from me. They fell short on those. They had an opportunity to repair these issues, and didn't, but over the course of 2 months, charged my m-i-l a total of over $3,800. Few words describe this level of service from anyone calling themselves a mechanic. This was the service provided to an 81-y.o. woman with early stage dimentia, who gullibly paid THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS over the last couple of months; a snap-shot of the actual condition of the van upon its return to her. Shame!! I will continue the review in a third addendum after more inspection. Heat shield between peopane tank and catalytic converter hanging by thin baling wire, with 4 Robins screws blown out the tin. I fixed in Whitethorse, Y.T. Ca. myself.

Lots of respect for the sales team that worked hard to win my business, special shoutout to Edgar Diaz for making this experience monumental for us and for not making me feel pressured to buy. I recommend Harvest Honda for their professionalism, respect, and dedication that their employee's put in to making their customers feel validated! From their sales team to their service Department they have been there for us each step of the way. A BIG Thank You! to Harvest Honda for not only making my car shine but also making my spirits & smile shine! I can't say enough about this company because it's always been a dream of mine to drive out of a dealership with a brand new car and they were part of making that possible. My expectations bar is high that being said this purchase was not made in a compulsive or spontaneous manner it was based on my needs I needed a dependable vehicle that was good on gas and that I could rely on to get me back and forth to work while breaking necks as they turn to check out my new ride. I was tired of buying used cars and having to throw thousands of dollars to remedy underlying conditions that their previous owners left me struggling to repair. I had visited several dealerships across Yakima, Tri-cities, Seattle and Oregon before making my decision to follow through with Harvest Honda. What scared me away from other dealerships were their sales tactics, I perceived their persistency as rude, pushy, and aggressive. Our salesperson at harvest Honda was informative about the vehicles they had on stock and didn't harass us or make us feel obligated to buy he was just happy to talk about cars and left a good impression on us, he gave us his card and we told him we would give him a call when we were ready, that is why we went back! thank you for being a part of this moment. This establishment is known for its positive feedback from its customers, good attitudes, its commitment in regards to customer satisfaction and its impact on the community dating back to when it was Bob Hall's. For years I would visit this dealership and talk to their employees some of them friends I went to high school with such as Armando Barbosa, Jared, about my dreams of one day being able to buy a car and drive it out of their showroom floor. A really big shout out to our lord and savior Jesus Christ for listening to our prayers and answering them. God has perfect timing my son had been letting me use his car to go back and forth to work for a couple of weeks until I got my transportation issue sorted out and the next day after picking up my civic he received a call to come in and start work. Praise God! Disclaimer: (I give all credit to God for making this possible). I was asked today to share my best moment at harvest and there it is. Thank you Harvest Chevrolet #harvestchevroletmoment

Mixed results: On a "positive" end, i've never had an issue…read moregetting in or dropping off my vehicle for Service. The customer gets treated with dignity. That's a big deal. I recently had an oil change scheduled and asked them to diagnose a Check Engine Light while they had it in the bay. They called and told me that there was a code. (generally that's the case whe you have a CEL). ~$500 later the CEL was no longer on, and for the moment It appeared that the issue was "fixed". During post-oil change pickup i was advised that because of the car's age, it would have to be brought in more frequently than the normal service intervals you'd expect from a vehicle running full synthetic rather than a blended synthetic.. I had spent many years as a professional mechanic, and at one time had hundreds of city fleet vehicles on my repair record.. Synthetic oils havent changed much, (nor has the internal combustion engine) so every 7,500-8,500 miles (or once per year) on a good full-synthetic 5W-20 or 0W-20 (Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum/Ultra, Valvoline Extended Protection, etc.) is reasonable even for an "aged" vehicle that is not in the "severe-service" category that justifies 3,500-mile changes. The dealership's advice is pure upsell in this case. SO, If you ever want absolute proof for your situation, get yourself a Blackstone Labs UOA test at 8,000 miles -- I'd bet money it comes back with plenty of TBN left and wear metals in the "excellent" range. I wont speak negative against Harvest Honda because I like the people who work there. on the same token, Nobody in the service industry should be making assumptions about the people who support their business.
