My first experience with A st Automotive was to have my cars alignment reset after my car ran into a ditch during our snowy weather this winter. Rob,Albert and the team did an excellent job and got my car finished and back on the road ASAP! The second visit, my check engine light came on and after careful trouble shooting, it was determined I had issues with sensors and the catalytic converters. Again, they worked tirelessly to address and fix the issues to get me back on the road and mobile. I highly recommend Rob and his team of technicians for being courteous, polite and doing excellent work at A St Automotive. I will be bringing my little car to them for all future automotive needs and care! read more

Rob & his team at A Street Automotive have exemplary customer service and automotive skills. We had a short turnaround time to get a full vehicle inspection done on a car we were looking to purchase. Not only did they get it into the shop quickly, they gave us very valuable information on what we would need to do to it in the near future and what was already in good condition. The value of having the experts do a full vehicle inspection is worth every penny. To feel confident that we are making the right buying decision is vital to us, as my son worked hard for 2+ years saving for his 'dream car'. The teams collective tenure in the automotive industry is impressive and we left feeling like we were making a good investment on the car, thanks to all the extremely knowledgeable and friendly mechanics. Thank you Rob & A Street Automotive team! We will be back and love knowing that we have the BEST mechanics in the area!! read more

My son took our Mazda in for an oil change since he could walk to his job from there. They charged $135. Six weeks later, my husband was driving the car and the oil light came on, so he drove it to the dealership and found out that there was no oil in the car. It cost us an additional $350 to fix the damage from A Street not actually changing our oil. Any company that would charge for a service that wasn't actually performed, as well as allow their customer to drive an unsafe car, is one to avoid at all costs. I've heard of companies like this, but this was my first time being scammed by one. I'll stick with the dealership from now one. read more

Was searching a reputable autoshop to take my car in for service and decided to take a chance with this shop, worst car mistake ever. I brought my car in for diagnosis of squeaking noises and some oil leakage from my car. They told me that my car needed $1200 for brake service and over $4000 in other services, totaling to an amount over $5k. Shocked by the "services" needed I went to another shop for a second opinion. I ended up only needing new brake pads and my rotors resurfaced costing only $250 and they did my oil leakage for FREE, i only need to get my engine gasket replaced ($400) not $5k worth of work. They not only charged me $120 for "diagnosis" but another $65 just to look at my brakes! I ended up paying over $223 for "diagnosis" and no actual work done. If you want to pay a lot for diagnosis, do not take your car here. You've been warned. read more

See all

DO NOT GO HERE! They replaced the transmission in one of our cars around six months ago. Not only did they charge us several thousand over their estimate (well over the 10% max allowed under the law), but come to find out they also damaged the electrical system in our car while doing the work. We know this, because the check engine light came on, so we took the car into the dealership to see what was going on and the service manager said (without knowing we had had the transmission replaced), "we usually see this when cars have had a transmission replaced because if it's not done correctly, the electrical system gets damaged." read more

DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE!!!! Horrible customer service. I took it in for a check engine light and after keeping it overnight charged me for extra diagnostic time. problem still not fixed. They wanted to overcharge for new spark plugs and an oil change. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! read more

Great service by Joe. Needed some repairs on my 07 Honda. Appreciated the honesty and professionalism displayed. Will come again.

I have been looking for a reputable reliable mechanic service for years. Took a chance with these guys for just an oil change. Received a quote, appointment and appointment reminder. On day of service I was treated kindly and my questions answered. Service was completed timely. All transactions so far point to great company. Will use them again. Would like to see replaced parts next time just to be sure. (I've been cheated before) overall I'm happy with service, staff and work performed. read more

No good. Over priced compared to others in area and unable to properly diagnose the issue after multiple visits. Office staff was a bit snarky too. I don't recommend at all. read more

I travel the Pacific Coast Highway and all througout the PNW in my 2002 Toyota Runner that tows my 22 foot travel trailer. I stopped to have my brakes checked out turned out my rotors were warped and replaced the front brakes and threw in a new caliper. Very transparent and clear in what was wrong. Snap credit was available making my travels easier. I got more than what I paid for. My truck has low miles and they were able to tell me what services I should get next but not to worry because of its condition. read more

A Street Automotive - 2002 Toyota 4Runner with low miles towing travel trailer - Auto Repair Near Me - Auburn, Washington

I am somewhat new to the area and was looking for a small local shop that did good work at a fair price. I found it! My repair ended up being more involved than originally thought. Albert texted me pictures so I could better understand the problem without having to come in. They worked with me on the price to make the added work less painful. The car runs better than it has in quite a while. A Street Automotive will be our new go to shop. Since they work on domestic and foreign vehicles, we can bring all of our cars in! read more

Honest, quick and polite. The dealership quoted almost twice what A Street did the work for. Great mechanic. Give these guys a try. read more

Under new ownership! The new owner, Rob is great! I absolutely cannot say enough great things about this place! Fabulous service and great customer service! I highly recommend this facility if you're looking for a trustworthy mechanic! read more

Absolutely wonderful service, on time, thorough and explained everything in detail. They were able to get all of the work I needed done in one day so my daughter could use my car for work. Will definitely be back for upkeep and maintenance for my car as well. Definitely recommend. Thank you Joe!! read more

I am so happy to have a reliable mechanic keeping my Jeep in good running condition. Joe is the coordinator in the front and he does a terrific job communicating price, timeline and work needed. I have no hesitation recommending this shop! read more

Warning. Do not take your vehicle here. I literally want to take my one star back. They will gouge you in any way they can. The more desperate you seem, the more they will charge. They are vague, rude and do not care about their customers. There are too many shops out there. In fact, I ended up taking my car to Kelly's right across the street and had my faith in auto repair restored. read more

Albert was very honest on my 60k inspection and service. Found a mouse nest in the intake cover, didnt even freakout! I will definitely be returning for my future service appointments. . read more

I was going to give this place a bad review at first, because I called them to fix my windshield wipers I had just bought a used car and the motor stopped working I asked them how much it would cost they quoted me Around $400 with service and parts. I made the appointment and brought my car in when I came to pick up my car my windshield wiper still didn't work. they said it's because I told them I wanted a motor. So they put in a motor, but I also needed a different part to get the motor to start running again and that it would cost around $400 more even though the part was only $50 it would be for the service to put the engine back together and then apart for the other part in total it was about $900 for a broken windshield wiper on a 1997 Dodge Caravan SMHI was livid especially when my motor went out on the windshield wipers less than a month later. So I decided to give them a call to see if they would fix my car for at least no more than $100 and if not I was going to go to a different Mechanic and create 1 million different accounts and use them all to write horrible reviews on this company... but a different nicer guy answered the phone and said it would be for free because it was under warranty everything they do is under warranty and I could come in right away and they would fix it and they let me sit in the lobby while a new motor came in which took two hours they offered me coffee water they were very nice very understanding a whole different story and I'm really glad I went with them because I don't think another mechanic would've kept me under warranty. And it really was my fault by saying that I needed a motor for the windshield wipers when I could've had them evaluate why the motor broke in the first place and it was a straight up with misunderstanding read more

I called because my service soon light was on and they got me in right away. It turns out I had a defective part from recent work done with my regular shop. Albert was awesome, they got me set up so I could take it back to where the work was done as it was under warranty and they also diagnosed some other issues I was having with the car that the regular shop couldn't figure out. Great customer service! read more

Took my car for an alignment because my usual Autoshop doesn't do it there. They were able to get me in the next day, which was awesome. They were quick with my service and it was done great. read more

I had a lovely time during my recent visit to A Street Automotive. Albert was truly a delight! He was so knowledgeable about my vehicle and the issues my car is experiencing. While I waited for my vehicle to be repaired, Albert expressed interest in my cats and the opera that I was planning to attend later that evening. Albert even asked me to bring a scrapbook of my cats with me on my next visit! I am so grateful to the team at A Street Automotive, my vehicle and I appreciate you! read more

I took my 2007 BMW to A street auto and told them it seemed like a few cylinders were not firing when I first start the car but when I re-start it works fine. I told them I had already tried replacing some spark plugs and ignition coils. They looked at the car and tell me $800 for compression test (I wondered why they would start with that as the car has full power on the restart) and I let them know I didn't agree but reluctantly gave ok. Compression turned out to be fine. Then they also replace some plugs and coils (could've sworn I mentioned I already did that) and replaced the thermostat (the car wasn't overheating so I wondered why the thermostat?). They then say the issue is some sort of buildup on the engine area and that this happens with most BMW's. Estimate to fix? $4400. It's a 2007 BMW 550, I could get ANOTHER one for that price. I didn't like how they chose to do work that didn't seem related or needed (I told them this before and after). I ended up paying $1500 total and they gave me back the car driving exactly the same way as when I came in (I chose not to pay the $4400 and took the car to a shop down the street). That was my experience. read more

Our Diesel OneTon wouldn't pass emissions and I took it to A Street right down the road and first on the list. Rob called with a diagnosis and an estimate in a couple hours, which included needing to go fill it up (my bad). Their work included taking it back to the test center and it passed with a .06 ---now it is noticeably smoother running and we're seeing a bit of improvement in fuel economy. Thanks Guys! Really nice work! read more

A street automotive is one of the best repair shops around. I took my wife's infinity G-37 there for it's 40k service. They even changed the battery in her remote. I am a car guy... and extremely picky about who works on my cars and trucks.. I would not hesitate to take any of my fleet of cars or trucks there. read more

*Older reviews are no longer applicable to this place - ownership recently changed* I dropped my car off after hours on a Tuesday evening because my clutch had started slipping and I knew there were a few other things that need attention. Albert was in contact with me on Wednesday with a thorough estimate of things that needed to be done. I was honest with my financial concerns, he was honest with what was found, and I was able to pick my car up Friday afternoon. One of the technicians had even willingly stayed late Thursday to complete the work because I had mentioned that I had gotten a rental car and they wanted to return my car to me as soon as possible. I had cleaned my car just the weekend before and it was just as clean as when I dropped it off, which was a pleasant surprise. No greasy work boot prints anywhere to be seen. Overall, I am exceptionally pleased with the care both my car and I received. Being a young female, I expect being spoken to in a certain manner when it comes to things like my car (like when I purchased my vehicle, I made my boyfriend leave because the salesdudebro wouldn't even talk to me). I am always prepared to shut that down quickly, but Albert spoke to me like the human being that I am; that is, an equal. He was honest, helpful and very personable. I was NOT prepared to drop a whole bunch of money and instead of laying on the guilt, when I mentioned my financial constraints, he was willing to work with me. I left the shop with my car in working order and recommendations for barbecue (we commiserated over the lack of good southern - style food out here for non-native PNWers). Being that I have an older Subaru, I will need head gasket work soon (shocking, I know) and this will be the shop I take it to for the work to be done. read more

My son's broke the tye rod on his Elantra at 8 o'clock at night in Auburn on his way home from work. We had them tow it to this shop and we locked it up and put the key in the drop box and went home.9:30 am they called about what happened I told them he said no problem we are on it. 3:30 he called it's on the rack for allignment be done by 5:00 that day. I live in Buckley and told him I am on my way as fast as I can I got there at 5:30 they closed at 5:00 he was there waiting for me very nice and explained work done and even checked out the car to make sure my son was safe and there were no other problems and the price was half of what they told me at other places amazing people I can't say enough THANK YOU so much. read more

Great place. Rob and his crew took good care of my vintage hot rod. New or old vehicles, they know their stuff. Rob took the time to make sure everything was right on my temperamental dual carb engine. It runs great now! They have also worked on my other family and business vehicles. I highly recommend A Street. Honest and dependable. read more

We took our sons car in to be fixed for a leaking transmission. Unfortunately my son mistakenly told the person at the front desk that he thought it was a rear main seal leak when it actually was a transmission front pump seal that needed to be replaced. If A street automotive had actually diagnosed the problem they would have very easily caught the mistake. All they needed to do was check the oil and transmission fluid levels and/or checked the leaking fluid. Transmission fluid is red while oil is brown/black. Although they did charge us 120.00 for diagnosing the problem, it is clear that they did not. My husband was a mechanic for 40 years and a service writer for 15 to 20 years. He would tell you that you don't take an untrained persons word for it. You, a trained mechanic, diagnose the problem and then write up a service order which you share with the customer. A service order tells you what is wrong with your car and how much it will cost to fix it. AT this point A street automotive tells us they want 4800.00 to replace the transmission. At this point we are having said vehicle towed to a different shop because even if they are correct and it does cost us another 4800.00 to fix, at least we can trust this other shop. Personally,I believe they should refund the money we have paid them. Since it is plain that they did not do a diagnosis, how do i trust them on anything. I'd also add that we took it to a transmission specialist, and guess what? It doesn't need a new transmission. BEWARE! read more

We took our 1992 Suburban there because the transfer case was bad and had pinion seal, fluid replaced, tune up, brake fluid flush and spark plugs and wire replaced. It was not drive-able with the back end doing what it was doing and Rob Gillett took it on and did an outstanding job! Feel like we have our blue bus back! Thank you again for another awesome job and you are number one in our book! I would recommend A Street Automotive to anyone who wants an honest and thorough job! read more

I recently had automotive problems and living 3 hours away asked some locals for help finding a repair shop. A Street Automotive is under new ownership and crew. THEY WERE FANTASTIC ! I really appreciated their professionalism. They communicated with me through the entire process. The problem, the progress, the estimated costs and timeline for completion. I was extremely pleased. Rob and his crew earned my trust, and a 5 star rating. I highly recommend A Street Automotive. B. Tinker read more

So happy with the service, they got me in fast and did a great job. I well come back for all the service for requirements for my Toyota.

I came to these guys after another company. Because another company just took my money and said that I cannot repair steering wheel and horn without replacement it overall. Then I just ran away from them and came to A Street Automotive. A Street Automotive are really professionals. They found all the issues of my car, that other company was not able to find. As a courtesy, A Street did diagnostics of all the car areas, instead of steering wheel only I asked about. But what is more nice: I paid for diagnostics only. But A Street Automotive said that it was easy to fix my horn during diagnostics itself because problem was not so difficult. And it was with no additional charge for me! Finally, I came and paid for diagnostics of steering wheel only. But for my money, these guys did diagnostics of all the car + repaired horn for free! Thanks a lot for your service. I do recommend these guys to everyone! read more
