“I’ve gone to Dave’s auto for many years, but over the summer, Edgar Vargas, a master mechanic purchased the business and opened it November 1, 2025.
I own a 1987 Cadillac Deville that belonged to my mother and is in pristine condition. Both the heater as well as radiator had gone out. I was hesitant at first because not all auto shops offer good service like Dave did. The engine had also been leaking a great deal of oil and I mentioned that to Edgar. Edgar fix the heater and radiator, but upon examining the engine, discovered that it needed to have a complete rebuild in order for the car to function properly. He called numerous shops in the area, but they ALL REFUSED TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE OF It’s AGE. EDGAR DIDN’T GIVE UP!! He’s having the engine rebuilt by someone in eastern Washington that he has known for 20 years and I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Edgar impressed me with his honesty plus showing me exactly what was wrong with the engine. He is very dedicated to his profession and I’m so thankful for him.”

“Shimika Wilson on Tuesday, December 23, 2025
Never have I ever been to any automotive place where the men are actually gentlemen… It’s refreshing going to a place where the workers actually care. ESPECIALLY Del, he really went above and beyond for me. Really wanted my family to have a great holiday! I’m not sure if this place is Christian based, but it sure felt like it…I couldn’t be anymore happy with my decision on choosing them to work on my car…. THANK YOU SO MUCH DEL… You definitely made this Christmas, “CHRISTMAS” GOD BLESS YOU ALL!”

“I'm not sure what has taken me so long to post a review for this shop! They are great!!! We started coming here about 3 years ago, when our other reliable mechanic (Paulco) closed down. I feel so lucky to have found Jori and his team. He is straight forward, fair, and honest. We've taken all 4 of our vehicles to him for service over the years (2 Toyotas, a Subaru, and a Ford). Thanks for all your expertise.”

“I think I’ve left a review before but I had to come back to say again how wonderful Paolo and his team are. I have been bringing my car in for at least 6 years and every single interaction I’ve had is a good one. Specifically today my car was broken into and Paolo gave me so many options as to how I could get my windows fixed despite the shop being closed throughout the weekend. This in addition to the fact Car Tender was one of the first calls I made because I knew I would immediately and very kindly be taken care of. I have never felt hassled to spend more than was necessary; have always been given a clear understanding of the issues with my car and how they may be effecting the vehicle; and feel the staff are respectfully personal in their care. I genuinely look forward to going into the office when I come. I could not recommend them enough.”

“Very knowledgeable and experienced, and also very friendly and personable. This is the first of many shops that I have tried over the years that I feel complete confidence in their work. They don’t upsell unnecessary repairs or services like so many others do. My 200k miles truck is running like new again.”

“I'm not a customer of yours, in fact, I live on the East Coast. Any auto care place that beats my Christmas card from being the first holiday card to arrive in my Seattle cousin's mailbox deserves a 5 star rating. ? BTW... I'll be sending my holiday cards out prior to Thanksgiving next year to avoid a repeat of this incident. ? Merry Christmas.”

“Very reliable and trustworthy! They always do a good job. They have fit me in last minute before when I needed something done asap. They have integrity and are very professional.

I got a quote for new brakes at a local dealership and without me telling them the cost, they were cheaper by more than $100 dollars. This is a family business owned and operated by two brothers and they have been there for many years.

They were also very nice to my little boy and gave him a toy car when we came in and now he asks to go back!

Thanks guys for always taking care of our cars!”

“Incredible service from the team at Kirkwood Autoworks. After my car got vandalized, they patiently worked with the insurance company to help me document the damage and get me out the door. Shout-out to Matthew for being so helpful and responsive!

I couldn't recommend them more.”

“Zack and his team are true mechanics and staples in the community. The only spot I could find open on a Sunday. I called him Saturday night due to an emergency with my parents car who were visiting me in the area and he was able to get me in Sunday morning. Without saying too much, this man and his team went above and beyond to help us, treating us like he knew us for years. He chose people over profit and it was clear he wasn't trying to make a quick buck but moreso build trust. This man runs an ethical business and he has my business from now on with all of our cars. Thank you bro. Much love”

“Excellent customer service, and so far the best Volvo mechanic I've been to. 256,000 miles and counting on my 02 V70 XC, and I finally feel like I found a mechanic I can trust to do the jobs I'm not cut out for. I'm very pleased with the quality of work, and that they seemed to respect that I do a lot of DIY. They actually listened to what I was saying and worked with me to figure out what makes sense to do on my car.”

“Wife's care had the tpms light on dash illuminated so took it in to have them check which wheel was out. They recommended the whole set be replaced and figured since car is like 15 years old those sensors were probably nearing end of life. Had them do all 4 since I didn't want to risk another failing and since I was already there might as well.
Additionally wanted them to check on an oil leak as I was not able to pinpoint where it was coming from. They found the source of the leak and gave me an estimate. It's a good chunk of change to fix the leak so something to consider whether it's new vehicle time or repair existing vehicle. I want to repair and wife wants a van.
Anyways service was really friendly and will use them for future work.”

“Derek Todd the owner is the best human soul I ever met in my life. Talking to him you feel that the guy is not only a mechanic but a real customer service oriented businessman.
I would have given this business more than 5 stars rating but the latter is the highest rating.
Very competent in what he does, best price in town and above all is Derrick charming personality.
Again, thank you and hope this review helps past and future customers.
Kamel”

“I'm so glad I found this shop! Dan was friendly and helpful, and the staff quickly identified the source of two separate issues with my car and had it fixed before the end of the day. Going to this shop felt like a breath of fresh air and a totally different experience after years of going to the big corporate dealerships. The Kenmore Automotive staff are honest and committed to quality vehicle repair and great customer service. I highly recommend them!”

“Love F&F! Trustworthy, reliable and friendly! I’ve been going to them for years! Over 300 miles on my last Chevy and I feel like a lot of that is due to their careful attention to it over the years. I feel like they take care of my car as if it was their own. They fix what needs to be fixed and don’t give you a big runaround of a bunch of other stuff unless that other stuff needs to get done as well! Best mechanics around !”

“Excellent experience. I came here to diagnose an issue with my landlords car overheating and Tony found out the radiator needed replacement. The price seemed very reasonable, he allowed me to drop it off and pick it up a couple days later to work around my schedule and the car is running great again. Will definitely be back next time I encounter any car troubles. Thanks again Tony, much appreciated and happy holidays?”

“Everybody there is really nice, very inviting. They even remembered my name, which I thought was really crazy. But I really appreciate that. When I first did my business here at one point I received something from the mail, I got a scratch card. I didn't win anything but I thought that was still pretty neat. I also like the complementary shuttle service, you'll have to be a local to be able to utilize the shuttle service. It's not a bus but it's somebody's personal vehicle, like an uber”

“I'd been having car problems for about a year but had been told by another mechanic that they were unable to identify the problem. My car would die almost every day, jerk while driving, and finally started to struggle to go up hills and drive generally. The folks at Nix's had it running like new the same day I brought it in. They took the time to explain to me what was wrong in a way I could understand (I have absolutely zero knowledge about cars) and I feel so much safer driving now. They explained my options and how much each would cost, and didn't take advantage of my lack of knowledge to get more money out of me. Cannot recommend this place enough!!!”

“I am traveling from out of the state and have issues with the brakes and also needed regular maintenance and checkup from a trustworthy mechanic. I reached out to Edwards and they explained everything patiently and kept me updated on the progress and got everything done quickly to help get me back on the road. Now I feel so much safer driving my car on my road trip. Thank you Bill and your team.”

“Absolute great mechanic. Honest & affordable.
One mechanic said my timing belt was gone. I took my car to Paulsons & he realized it was just the starter, fixed it in an hour.
Then, recently, mt battery died & the initial mechanic told me it was the alternator.
Turns out, it was just a loose cable. Paulsons fixed it with zero charge.
I’ll forever go back here & recommend to everyone.”

“TLC AutoCare has taken care of my vehicles for many years. I was away for a few years and didn’t use them during that time, and in that period my older Ford Escape aged quite a bit and developed major oil leaks and other issues. When I came back to TLC Auto, they treated me with the same honesty, respect, and excellent service I remembered.

They recently completed major repairs on my Escape, including timing cover work, valve cover gaskets, a crankshaft seal, an intake manifold gasket, and a new power steering pump. The work was done carefully and thoroughly, and I feel much safer driving my SUV.

As a single older woman, I really appreciate how clearly Andy explained everything and how respectfully they treat me. They kept the repairs within the budget I gave them, and never pressured me into anything unnecessary. Jon did the actual repair work, and you can tell he takes real pride in doing things right.

They also provided a loaner car, which made the whole process so much easier.

TLC AutoCare is dependable, trustworthy, and truly customer-focused. I’m grateful to have returned to a shop where I feel safe, respected, and confident in the work being done. I highly recommend Andy, Jon, and the entire team at TLC Auto.”

“I work next door to Chuck's, so the first time I needed service I figured it would be convenient. As with any new-to-me shop, I was nervous about getting overcharged or tricked into unnecessary services. But they have been timely, communicative, transparent, and helpful every time! Letting me know what services are essential and which can wait, patiently explaining things to me, and getting work done quickly.

I was inspired to write this post after their kindest act yet - last week I punctured a whole hole in a tire that I had recently purchased from them. After scraping it on a curb. The hole was so bad that I couldn't even drive the car the two blocks over to their shop. Eric left his desk immediately to come and help me inflate the tire, and when that didn't work swapped out my wheel for the spare so I could drive it the rest of the way. They got a new tire ordered on warranty, which came in first thing Monday. It took 3 minutes to swap on and they sent me on my way!”
