    Me in their lobby
    Ái N.

    As a woman, sometime I feel like automotive shops take advantage of me by charging me more for services. I needed to get fluid change on my Volkswagen Golf. My husband is really into cars and said he would help me out, but also wanted me to learn. I didn't know where to go so I first went to the dealer. The quote for AWD service was $212 plus tax and fees. It is called the haldex service. My husband told me that dealerships are not always the best option. He said taught me that for VW they usually just drain and fill not clean the pump screen. I wanted another quote so I searched for european automotive shops and found Conaway. But they wanted $513 for the haldex service! That is when my husband stepped in to help me. He had enough and so he ordered the fluid from VW for the haldex and rear differensial and sent me to Top Spec. I guess they work on his mustang and he likes them. With part supply, it was less than $200 out the door. So I guess I will use my husband's shop since they are honest. But I don't like trying to find parking there. They keep too many cars and so it makes the parking lot stressful. But aside from that, they are awesome!

    Initial Quote

    Too Long Didn't Read---------------------- Good Turn Around Time, Friendly Customer Service, More competitive labor pricing than other shops in the area. And no issues in the 3 weeks since repair. --------------------------------------------- I found my shop! Recently moved up here from Socal with my 2014 GT500. I needed to replace my clutch, so I decided to conduct my research to find a place to take my car to. I ordered an OEM Clutch, Flywheel, and throwout bearing, then went on a quest by getting install quotes from Automotive Unlimited($1,500+), Evergreen Auto Repair($1,500+), M&N Absolute Auto Repair($1,900+), BJs Automotive ($1,900+), Conaway Motors($1,600+). I also went to Drive Auto Sports too, but they turned me away because they don't work with customer supplied parts and only do aftermarket stuff. When I approached Top Spec, he was in the middle of something, but told me he would text me a quote for the install. Which he did, and it was more competitive than all the other shops at $1,291. I ended up adding a couple parts to the repair job(master cylinder, Shelby clutch reservoir, etc...) so the repair ended up costing a little more. But the initial quote was better than many other shops in the area!

    Honest, Great Value, Accomodating, are some of the key traits of Top Spec Auto. We bring all of our cars to Chris! We trust that he is honest, and has proven his capabilities of doing great work that keeps us safe and our cars running. Each new car we buy we bring to him to check through because we trust he will point out all the concerning and good things Any check engine light or problem we have, Chris is trusted in servicing our vehicles or if there is a job that he can not the will recommend us to a partner who takes care of us. There is a lot of experience in this shop, when they call out and item, it will be one worth keeping an eye on or pursuing further. Example: We brought our Cadillac to Chris right when we bought it and he noticed that the previous owner used a cheaper version of the coil packs and let us know they were known to go out so we could see problems in the future. We were able to get about 4 months till our first one has started to go out and we are having Chris just go in and replace them all with the ones that he is suggesting!

    I think my ignition coil needs replacing and I'm bringing my car in today. I'm a little concerned on what the cost will be. Any help with that? It is a 2010 Hyundai Accent. Thank you.

    1 ignition coil replacement on your vehicle would run $135 parts and labor. We would have to confirm the issue, of course, first.

    Which vehicle do you have? The price depends on what type and how many need to be replaced.

    I got a bmw I need help?

    We would love to help you, what's the issue?

    This is a great little shop. While visiting from CA, I wanted to get the oil changed in my…read moredaughter's Kia Sol. Noelle quoted me a reasonable price over the phone and fit me in right away. Mike gave me info on a check engine issue, suggesting it be looked at in the future. No sales pressure, which was nice. I was very happy with the service. I'm hoping to move to the area and will be back if so. As an aside; I expected to see women working there (they emphasize they are female-owned), but there was only one, at the front desk. When I asked about it, I was told there aren't many women who are mechanically inclined. Wrong answer! I hope they make the effort to recruit female mechanics in the future; it would be well worth the effort!

For the vehicle safety inspection, I didn't have to make an appointment.  It was fine to do a walk-in. When I visited Emily's Garage, there was a customer who was pretty upset with the repairs and the cost.  I was able to hear what the customer had to go through but I would not comment on that as I have limited information. From my experience of getting my vehicle inspected, I was very surprised at how quickly they were able to complete the vehicle inspection.  It was done in less than 2 minutes, and I paid over $50 for that service.   For comparison, when I had my vehicle inspected at Les Schwab Tire Centers in Portland, they spent over 20 minutes to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and the cost for the inspection was only $20.   Will I re-visit Emily's Garage for the vehicle inspection?  Probably not but if the state requires me to get the vehicle inspection done, I will probably have no choice as there are not that many shops that offer the ASE-certified inspection.

I made an appointment to bring my father-in-laws Honda Accord in to change out the headlight lenses. They had fogged up. Yes I know there is a chemical you can use to un-fog them but it really doesn't last. So anyway this was his Christmas gift. I already had the parts since I got them on-line, and they didn't give me a hard time about it. So, I was just charged for labor. So, I pick up the car in Bothell and drive it to Fast Eddies in Everett. "Why did you take it to a place so far away Tony B?" Well believe me, I called around. But several places did not follow up with me, or said they would not install parts that I provided myself. Fast Eddie's was easy to deal with. And we made an appointment for 10AM today. They were ready for me at 10, just as they said. I was told it would take 2 or three hours, and they were done around 1:30. So, that's pretty close. Oh, and When I checked in on Yelp, I got a pop-up with a 10% discount on labor! Fast, honest, they keep their word, and for those reasons I am awarding 5 stars. Thanks Fast Eddie!
