Their complimentary multi point inspection with pictures (free with paid oil change) gave me insight into the health and status of fluids, ball joints, suspension, and general condition of the car.

I highly recommend Olympia Autoworks for your service needs!

They completed a brake flush for my 2015 Audi S4. The job was completed within a good timeframe and the results were fine. The car was returned clean everywhere and everything back in place. The price was very fair. I also asked for estimates for more extensive maintenance work and asked them challenging questions about those procedures. They had the right answers and the estimated costs were again very fair, about 35% less than dealer estimates. I was very pleased with the experience and the results. I will use them again for my Audi maintenance and repairs.

There are many shops that when a women calls they tend to treat them like they are inferior, not this place. Ken was beyond helpful and even provided us a place to call if we wanted a refurbished transmission as he knew we were looking into options to save money but yet still get the job done right. We had our transmission replaced with Mike's Automotive and even with a few hiccups, nothing that was their fault...just a few extra things that had to be replaced to get the car in running shape since it had been sitting for some time. The fact that I never felt inferior by their staff and they kept the communication open with us was truly amazing. We were looking for a good automotive place and this definitely will be the place we go to from here on. Thank you to the staff for making us feel like we were part of the family and process during the process of all of this.

I had been bringing my car here for several years now. My windshield wipers had stopped ejecting…read morefluid and the reservoir had leaked out the fluid I had replaced. I received a call advising me that I needed new nozzles that would have to be ordered and oh, by the way, my rear brakes needed to be replaced in the next few months. The estimate was $1,900 for both. At first, I was going to do it but then started thinking about it and consulted with a friend who suggested I take the car to Les Schwab for a free second opinion. When I told Mike's I was going to do that, I was told I would have a $200+ diagnostic fee. First off, I NEVER asked them to check my brakes! To really get a thorough look at the brakes, they would have to remove the tires. I picked up my car and advised them that WA RCW 46.71.025 states an auto repair shop may not charge a diagnostic charge unless advised beforehand or in writing. The manager quickly said they wouldn't charge me. The young kid tried to tell me that because I had my car in a few months ago (for regular servicing), that I had given consent. Nice try, won't fly. After picking up my car, I went to Les Schwab (had just gotten new tires there) and they told me I still had 5mm on the rear and 6mm on the front which was probably good for another 15k miles. I average about 7k a year. When I picked up my car from Les Schwab, the man helping me told me I was the second complaint that day from Mike's. Not a good batting average. I'm a 70-year-old woman but I'm not stupid. I told them, I don't trust you anymore! They clearly intended to take advantage of me. Too bad they didn't realize I am a recently retired WA State investigator, and I know how to do my research. I received a phone call from Mike the owner that night but was too angry to take the call. He left a message to call him. No apology, nothing. Never tried to call again. I gave him a week to reach out again before deciding to write this review. Too bad, so sad.

I always thought that Greg was the owner...because he ran the shop with such thoroughness and always treated me with the utmost respect as a customer; no matter how big or small my car needs were! I have since learned that Greg is not with Ken's Automotive anymore. I refuse to have anyone else from Ken's Automotive work on my vehicle because, it's not Greg! I'm doing my due diligence on finding someone with Greg's expertise- so far nothing! I don't know the reason for Greg's absence at the shop? Apparently, 31 years doesn't mean much to Don, the owner...but it does to me, the customer!

After a bit of research I found Olympia Autoworks (previously called Foreign Autoworks) . They have extensive experience with European cars so I decided to schedule an appointment to get a diagnostic done to see how much the repair would cost. Making the appointment was quick and easy. After they took a look at the car I received a phone call explaining the issues they found and why the plan of action would be to fix them. They were very transparent in answering my questions and I did not feel pressured to go through with any of the services that may not have been necessary. The online system they use to approve and deny each individual fix is nice as well. They worked on the car for around 3-4 days and now it runs amazing! They have a better service warranty than the dealer as well. I will definitely be back for any other service needs.
