I had been calling around to find out what a Transmission service would cost for my 1996 Dodge Ram 2500 with only 51K miles on her - the prices I was getting from a local dealership and a few other auto repair shops were about double to what it said it should cost per another google search. Tony was spot on. I had called him up and he gave me a quote over the phone, said he could do it the next morning, so away I went - he said it'd take a few hours and that was about right when I got the call 2.5 hours later that the truck was done. He replaced the fluids in the tranny along with the filter, checked the bands, did an engine oil change gratis with the filter and oil I supplied. He is a man of his word, a good communicator and an absolute pleasure to do business with. So in my departing he relayed his findings and observations, and had a list of a few recommendations of things that should be addressed in the future that they found while working on the truck to keep it in top shape, he was wonderful in the way that he explained everything in detail making it easy to understand. It's a small shop - albeit he specializes in transmission's he does it all. Couldn't be happier with the service, definitely recommend them.

Wayne was recommended by my neighbor. I had relatives arriving and they were experiencing some…read moreelectrical issues with their vehicle that started while on their trip. Their vehicle was oversized. This was something that needed fixing quickly so my relatives could move on quickly as they had non refundable reservations at their final destination. I went in and spoke with Wayne - what an incredibly helpful guy. When I explained the issue to him, and the make and model of the vehicle, he knew exactly what was needed and told me he could take care of it the next day, he said he could move around some non urgent matters to take care of my relatives who were arriving that night. Basically if Wayne had wanted to, he could have ripped us off, because we were at his mercy. My relative knew how much it would probably cost based on getting information from his own mechanic and Wayne came in just under that. Wayne came through in a pinch, and did not take advantage of us. I know now why my neighbor recommended him. Wayne really knows his stuff as this was not a common thing to find and repair. He treated us way more than fairly. Highly recommended. I love it when you can talk to a mechanic and they know the issue you are talking about and do not have to plug in diagnostic tools before they can even have an idea of what could be wrong. Wayne is one of those valued 'old school' mechanics that uses diagnostic tools to confirm what is wrong - not to find out where to start looking. Thank you Wayne Their website is: waynescarcare.com

The wait…read morewas typical, and pricing is still fair however, the motor oil that was left on the hood of my car and my driver's side window were an unexpected and disappointing surprise. The guys behind the desk were helpful and gave me a full refund. Unfortunately a refund doesn't provide an answer or a solution as to how half of the hood of my car was covered in motor oil. Initially I thought that they just hit a little careless while washing the windows when I thought what I saw was window cleaner on the hood. Turns out they'd gotten oil on the hood and driver's side window. On the driver's side window it looked like someone had lazily tried to wipe the oil off, but instead ended up just smearing it around on the window. That mix of oil and water has gone down into the window seal and now when I roll my window up and down that oil and cleaner mix just smears all over the window. Lastly, every single button or switch in my car was adjusted and not put back. Sure, I get it you might need to reset a thing or two during the service, but those things should be set back to how they were found, and not left up to the customer to restore. Happy for the refund, but disappointed that we won't be bringing our vehicles there anymore, and suggest that our friends and family do not either..

Previously I've done my own oil changes, but I simply didn't want to do it this time. I searched around and the nearest location I could find that could fit me in was 20+ miles away and it wasn't clear that it would be done until later tonight. Then, I realized I should check with Lynden Lube. A quick call showed that I could drive up and they'd fit me in. I drove the 10 minutes to the location and entered a very nice welcome area. I was greeted and when I explained what I needed they took down my information and took my key. I sat down, booted up my computer, figuring I could get some internet work done. It seemed that I'd barely logged into their guest wifi (nice touch) and opened my browser, when they called my name. I went up to the counter and the service was completed! Synthetic blend oil change, new filter, checked and topped off all my fluids (ie, washer fluid, brake fluid, etc...not gas :-) They even vacuumed the inside of my car! :-) The total price was equal to the larger chain places, but done in a fraction of the time! I was in and out in under 30 minutes and my CRV was happy once again! I highly recommend Rob and Lynden Lube & Auto! Your mileage my vary, but I know their efficiency, care and service will pleasantly surprise you too!
