These guys have always shook me an honest deal and even came way under anticipated cost on my last repair. I would not hesitate to bring them a vehicle for repair and diagnostic work. As we all know a trusted local mechanic is a very valuable asset. Thanks WESPAUL'S read more

We have been taking our cars/SUVs to Wespaul for many years now. They are hands down the best mechanics I have ever experienced. They are honest and give honest estimates - never upselling. They have always finished the work on time. They stay busy because of their long time good reputation. They also gave a good friend an inspection for a truck he was looking to buy. They found some things that were dicey so my friend decided not to buy the truck. They have worked on a Ford Ranger I used to have and both my Toyota 4Runners, a previous Nissan Maxima, and a Kia Optima we have now - new brakes, tune ups, timing chains, etc. read more

Always helpful and honest. Is efficient at getting the cars in and out but remembers who you are.

If I could give Wes 10 stars I would. I was in Anacortes from Michigan when my starter began acting up over Labor Day. After being turned away by other repair shops, Wes welcomed me with "I'll never turn a stranger in trouble away." He dropped what he was doing to work on my Sprinter and got me on my way after two+ hours work. I had picked up a remanufactured starter which he installed, and since he was not 100% happy with its performance, he refused to take a cent for his labors. Honesty, integrity and kindness to strangers....what more could you ask for? I hope someday I have the chance to return his kindness. If you are in Anacortes and need car repairs, do yourself a favor and stop at Wes Paul's first. read more

Wespaul's Automotive - Can lift a 23 foot Sprinter Van - Auto Repair Near Me - Anacortes, Washington

I called Wespaul Auto on 11/5/2020 when I needed a used car inspection on short notice of a 2017 Ford Transit van from Frontier Ford that I was looking at. I'd no prior relationship with them. They said "you can bring it in right now" which I did, two minutes later my phone rang and they said come have a look. The Transit was a RUSTED OUT MESS from 3 years of abuse in the Canada oil fields. They saved my bacon! When I pulled out my wallet to pay they said "just put $20 in their 'lunch envelope'" . They have a new customer for life. :-) read more

My mom used to totally recommend wesPaul, I had another rig repaired a few years ago, and they were great then, and are still excellent!!!

really great service, quick access to get vehicle in, expeditious repair and under bid repair, good listener, highly recommended

Had truck towed ti WesPaul. They looked at it and said it was just the choke. We drove it to My. Vernon and it quit. Had to have it towed again. Went to someone else read more

I took my 1996 GMC Suburban in to these jokers. The driveshaft had a leak, and the drum brakes needed replaced, simple enough. 12,000 miles later I had to pay someone who knows how to work on vehicles to fix the mess they left me with. My drum brakes were full of gear oil, my drum was destroyed, oh, and not a big deal, but I paid them to adjust a headlight, they charged me to fix it, yet it was untouched. Had I been traveling down Pikes Peak, my vehicle would have erupted into flames from the oil on the brakes. Your shotty high price shop not only did a grossly substandard job, you put me in mortal danger. read more

My husband has been using Wes Pauls since he started driving. We live in Bellevue and he insists on driving all the way to Anacortes to get his car worked on. I decided to try them as well while we were in town. My car wasn't up-shifting properly between gears. It was concerning. I called them at the last minute on a Friday and they squeezed me in to look at the vehicle. It turned out my spark plugs were faulty and they replaced them on the spot and the issue was fixed. The bill was extremely reasonable, especially considering how disruptive my last minute visit must have been for them. Highly recommend them. read more

I was having some issues with my '97 Subaru and I took it to the guys at Wespauls. I could not have asked for a better experience. The guys were great: honest about the condition of my car and what it would take to fix it. The bottom line is it would take over twice what the car is worth to fix it. So while I'm not going to spend that money, they fixed my window for me, printed out what's wrong with the car and needs to be fixed, and...didn't charge me for the assessment or fixing the window! I asked them a lot of questions and they were happy to talk to me, give me recommendations, and just be helpful. I have had lots of people recommend Wespauls to me and now I can recommend them to lots of others. These guys are honest, friendly, know what they're doing, and care for the customer. Will definitely go to them for any future car needs. read more

I was referred to this shop by many long term locals. 13 years later, I continue to be grateful. These guys are my "go to" for any problem. You will get honest quotes and excellent mechanics. All the locals know.... read more

Staff member talked to me as if I didn't know anything about cars. Usually I service my car on my own but I was in the area and saw that they had good reviews so I decide to give them a shot. After I picked up my car, there was grease left on my seat and staff was rude that I asked them to clean it up. Never going back read more

Fast, friendly, informative, personalized service. We have used this establishment for over 10 years and they have treated us exceptionally. Good community name and a long line of quality managers. Their service fees are reasonable but the better issue is that they do not up sell. Time is time and not protocol time like the dealer. At times they may under sell and it may have been better to pay for the additional service but this is always your choice without pressure. read more

Amazing experience at Wespaul's. During the busiest part of the season (mid-summer) Jim squeezed us onto his already impossible schedule to complete an alternator change on a 2004 Nissan Quest. Completed the work as quoted, even though it took the mechanic several hours longer to R/R the alternator (think: V6 shoved sideways on FWD chassis). A few days later we discovered that the a/c wasn't working; Jim said to bring it back asap. They checked to find that the compressor had failed. Jim could have said, "yep, this is your's to pay for"- but because the mechanic had removed the compressor he absorbed the cost. It's hard to find a shop that operates with solid integrity like this. You could do worse than to have them work on your vehicle; it's obvious that they are a great pick. read more

Thanks Jim! We were in a RV and had a AC belt problem, we were leaving that day. Called some other auto repair businesses and no one would help us. Called Wespaul's and Jim says bring it in! He dropped what he was doing and got us back on the road. Took off his boots before entering, that is respect. I appreciate people that say, yes. read more

My friend took his dodge ram there and the did an oil change an they only put two bolts back on the oil pan. He's a mechanic himself just didn't want to do the work. Inspected afterwards. Video proof. Really? Why? Would not recommend. read more

I tried the shop across the street when my Durango had a cooling issue. They wanted to replace the entire engine based on a coolant test. I drove to Wespauls and said I wanted the thermostat replaced thinking it was probably the water pump going out. Sure enough, I got a phone call the next morning confirming same. No upsell BS, no dire warnings of future catastrophe if I didn't pay for major repairs Right Now. As a former mechanic, I appreciate these guys being willing to listen and then not give me the usual sales BS. The work on my Dodge is usually done very quickly (which shows the shop is being managed well) and I get regular phone calls for any problems or concerns. I've taken my Dodge in 4 or 5 times now, double-checked whatever they've told me was wrong, checked current prices on things, and been satisfied they are not trying to take advantage of me. It's hard to build trust in the auto repair industry but I've been very satisfied with Wespaul's so far. read more

Wespauls has tremendous service, bends over backwards to help service cars in the SJIs and does expert repairs. I would recommend them at the highest level! They never stop short of doing a complete and excellent job while keeping.yoyr automobile running smoothly and safely. You will not be disappointed working with them and your vehicle.will thank you. read more

My family and I have been going to Westpaul's for years and have never been disappointed. These men are experienced and know what they are doing! Whenever we have issues with any of our vehicles this is the first place we take it. When looking into buying a used vehicle they were able to do a pre-inspection for me on the car that I was looking into buying and boy am I happy that they did. The car would have costed me thousands of dollars to get it up to par and it only costed me a small percentage of that for them to check it out! We have gotten so much work done on all of our cars and we are always pleased by it. Thank you! read more

Wespauls has serviced all of my vehicles for 20+ years. This shop is honest and dependable. They are extremely knowledgeable and, for the few things that require more of a specialist, they will get you to the right place. Wes has saved me thousands of dollars over the years... And the proof of their expertise is sitting in my driveway: one Explorer with 260,000 miles and an Expedition with 205,000 - both of which run perfectly! Much appreciation! read more

I have been going to them for 25 years. My vehicle, our childrens vehicles, all have seen Wes. Wes and his team are the best I've ever encountered. Honest and thorough. I can always trust my vehicles with them. read more

Honest mechanics, gave me an estimate on my F-150 truck and stuck to it. Did the transmission flush the right way and it was done pretty much on time. Transmission shifts so much better now. Anacortes is a small town so it's nice to have a repair shop you can count on. read more

This place is hands down worthy! My 2003 Toyota Tacoma had a drifting clutch, and getting worse, felt hydraulic. I'm on San Juan Island and things are scarce here. Called around and got a great referral from the Lube place in Anacortes to call WesPauls, "they are the best" he said. I called, talked at length, set up an appt. to get over on the ferry. Master and Slave cylinder replaced, done in less time than estimated, and charged me less. That was great, and NEVER happens at an auto shop. Wes was great, taking the time to talk about the problems, fitting in another fella's car that was stranded. His greatness also came to light even more when I got on the ferry headed back to san juan and once landed, my clutch was entirely down on the floorboard. Thank goodness I was in first gear, I drove home, called right away and Wes offered to fly back over, or if I could get back over in the morning he would come in and fix the truck on his day off saturday. Turns out it was a defective slave cylinder leaking, he replaced it, no cost and left ferry fee in an envelope on the seat when I picked up the truck. Absolutely happy about all of this, being on an island one can get stuck real easy, and he made sure that was not going to happen, offered a rental car, to fly over, whatever was needed to get my truck working. Thank you! read more
