7 years ago I moved to Kalama and started taking my vehicle and family vehicles here. Troy and Lee have always been friendly and honest. The mechanics do great work at fair pricing.It’s always been hard for me to trust a mechanic shop, but Kalama Auto Supply has truly been the only one. I usually don’t write reviews, but they have been so great to my family and I, I felt they deserve this review.The reason I trust them is because there have been a couple specific times I brought my vehicle in the past for issues, and they gave it back to me with a simple, quick and cheap fix. They had an opportunity to make up another reason that was wrong with my car that would have cost a lot more, but they are not looking to overcharge or nickel and dime. They just want to provide the right service and fix. That’s why they always keep busy. Honest work.A couple years ago I moved out of town to Vancouver, but I still bring my family vehicles here, even for basic oil changes because of the great service they provide.Thanks guys!

The guys who work here are always super nice, and better yet, trustworthy. I go to them for almost all my car needs. They take care of my cars issues swift and efficiently. Their prices are fair. They have exceptional communication. I won’t trust my vehicle with anyone else. Thank you guys so much for always being the best!

We have taken my old Mazda CX 9 to Kalama auto for about 5 years. I appreciate the honesty about what needs to be done and what doesn't. My husband feels comfortable having me take it in. He knows they won't upsell me! I've always had quick service and honest prices!!

A few weeks back I was traveling between Portland and Seattle when I hit a bolt on the freeway. I could see my tire pressure slowly going down on the display. I took the next exit which was Kalama and stopped at the nearest gas station. Well. Gas stations aren't what they used to be but I asked the attendant if anyone in town fixed flat tires. She didn't think so (oh great. In 40 years of driving I've never had a flat so now what). She directed me to Kalama Auto Supply to see if they could direct me. In a calm but full panic mode I went in and explained what was going on and although they didn't repair tires, they could put on my little spare donut so I could limp to Longview. I was so relieved and they didn't at all treat me like a helpless female which I was happy of. The guys were great and I was back on the road in no time. A really nice experience in a really uncomfortable situation.

On this past Labor Day we were southbound on I-5 en route to Portland to spend a few days there. Near Kalama, something in the roadway hit the front of our car very hard and so we exited at the next offramp to check for damage. There, on the side of the road, we found coolant pouring out from the bottom of the radiator.Nearby we stopped at a truck stop/gas station to ask about a nearby repair shop before all the fluid was gone and we'd have to be towed. We were told about Kalama Auto Supply and Repair that was only a couple of miles away.We drove cautiously to the shop only to find them closed for the holiday. We decided to leave our vehicle at the shop, write them a note detailing our issues, leave the key in the drop slot and arrange for a ride share to pick us up to take us the rest of the way into Portland.There was a lot of uncertainty in this decision! However, the next morning (Tuesday), we received a call from the shop that put all of our fears at ease. We were told what the likely extent of the damages were, what the estimated cost of repairs would be, that the parts could be obtained and the repairs could likely be completed by end of business Thursday. This was fabulous news since our hotel reservations had us departing Portland on Thursday.True to their word, at about noon on Thursday, we were informed that the repairs were completed. This was very happy news for us!While the damage sustained was unfortunate, our experience with Kalama Auto Supply was the best! If you are in or near the area, and need your car serviced or repaired, these guys are awesome!

I highly recommend Kalama auto supply and repair. They were able to look at my car immediately whereas the other places I called wouldn't be able to look at my car for about 2 weeks. They were polite and they had my car running again in less than 30 minutes. They were reasonably priced also. I felt very comfortable with the service and I will continue to have them as my mechanic even though I live in Longview Wa. It's worth the drive to Kalama to get good service. ?

When my battery died in the Post Office parking lot, the team at Kalama Auto Supply jumped into action and had me on my way with a new battery in less than 30 minutes. I got a good price and great service with smiles all around. Who could ask for anything more?
