Barely made it there before it got flat, but I did. They checked it out, plugged it, and filled the air back up in the tire. They didn't charge me for the temporary repair, which was really kind of them. Was able to get my tires replaced a few weeks later somewhere else and the plug had no problems until then. Another time I came to get my car serviced, and that also was pretty quick and also went well! Forget how much it was but it was pretty standard compared to other places. I would trust them with any and all of my car service needs!

Convincing Liars who turned a 4300 Transmisison Repair into a 10K nightmare…read more My transmission has intermittently not gone into 4th gear for years. Stopping and using the transmission control reset sequence worked to correct this until last summer so we took the Rialta to the mechanic at the top of the road who stated that we needed a new transmission. I looked for transmission rebuild shops and Dave's Transmission Warehouse quoted $3500 including a 3-year or 36,000 mile warranty. I took the vehicle in to have the transmission rebuilt in April. I told him I needed it no later than the end of June for a planned trip. After working on the transmission for several weeks, Dave stated that there was nothing wrong with the transmission, but something external. He said I was not allowed to drive the vehicle in 4th gear (above 40 mph), and that he would not honor the warranty until the external issues were corrected. On 5/3/18, I took the Rialta to Yire Automotive all under 40 mph, you can see the charge for 613.48. They corrected a wire that had been smashed when inserted into the transmission and that cleared all of the diagnosis except one which they stated was an internal transmission error. I took the Rialta back to Dave (all under 40 mph) who worked on it more, and stated that the internal transmission error was not internal. He said it was likely a wire harness issue or some other electrical problem. On 5/30, I took the Rialta to West Seattle Autoworks all under 40 mph. They inspected the vehicle and could find no external issues. They recommended taking it to KC Martin Transmission as they stated that the issue was in the transmission and they could not lift the RV. Since I could not drive it over 40 mph, I called AAA to have it towed to KC Martin Transmission. 6/29/18 KC Martin Transmission stated it was an internal issue as well and recommended taking it to the dealer for confirmation- 318.78. Campbell VW of Edmonds ran tests confirming beyond a shadow of doubt that it was an internal issue. I called Dave's Transmission Warehouse on 7/17 stating that multiple mechanics had stated it was internal. Aaron, the employee, said they would rebuild it again, but if it still had errors, they would want me to pay again. I found this unacceptable, as I have now spent over $1000 proving it was their issue (internal) since Yire fixed the electrical codes. Additionally, I had to rent an RV and a rental house since my RV was not fixed in time for summer plans. I no longer trust their work or their word. On 7/19/18, I was charged 738.29 for the additional diagnostic work, and called AAA to have the Rialta towed to Seatac Transmission who had to rebuild the transmission all over again confirming it was never done properly in the first place. My credit card company contacted them for a refund and they refused. They seem nice enough at first, but their work is shoddy and their warranty useless.

Since I didn't actually pay for work on my car, I won't give DTW Transmission five stars. With that…read moresaid, the reason I didn't pay for a new/rebuilt/used transmission was because Dave--the owner of DTW Transmission--counseled me against it. Yes, you read that right... Even though my car needed a new transmission, Dave turned away the business because he didn't believe the car would run much longer, and only be a source of heartache and continued spending. His advice: rid myself of the car and look for a different vehicle, which is exactly what I'm going to do. In sum, Dave is a knowledgeable, honest, clear, and thoughtful mechanic and person. Heck, after initially dropping my car off at DTW, Dave gave me a ride home. The guy is professional AND nice. If my next car has transmission issues, I'll definitely take it to Dave and DTW Transmission, and you should too!

A few months ago my brake fluid cap got stuck between hoses & parts under my hood in an unreachable area & they took the time to get it loose for me.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO THE MECHANICS AT BUDD & CO.‼ From: Gale Harris & her 2007 Kia Spectra

DO NOT RECOMMEND…read more The shop was recently sold and operates under newer ownership, though it continues to operate under the Budd & Company name. I was not aware of the ownership change at the time as it was not something I noticed in the business listing. I brought my car in for overheating issues. A couple hours later I got a message with an estimate for $3k, for some work. They called right away, and I tried to decline some items like spark plugs but was told I would need to do them due to the nature of the repair even though the tech mentioned them as maintenance items. I would def not approve ANYTHING on the phone with them and ask for an invoice over text to approve. Then I'd check what the inspection report says rather than the person on the phone trying to up sale you. Right after approval they also hide their estimates online so you can't see what you approved and you won't see them again, so take screenshots beforehand. I tried asking for it after approval over text and I got crickets. They promised car same day but it wasn't ready until 2 days later (and I was really patient thinking I don't want a rushed job). When I got the car back, something their own inspection report flagged as needing replacement due to oil residue was not replaced (Coolant Reservoir). IMO if you are going to charge $3k to do a bunch of work with the cooling system and coolant you should at least replace a $30 part (Very least clean it) otherwise it will re-contaminate the cooling system they just worked on. Also, a part they flagged as leaking and paid to fix, is just leaking again. I called 10 mins after I got the car back and they said it was fine with the dirty tank. The whole time, I kept mentioning my road trip to vegas and they kept clearing me to drive out there. A week later my car overheated again in Seattle. It was likely misdiagnosed, parts flagged by their own shop needing replacement were not replaced and they took 3 days for something they said they would by end of the day. I'd also look at other public reviews including SureCritic and BBB Listings.

I brought the car in and the service order was for an inspection. I had to remind him I was here for brakes so inspect if you want but the brakes need to get done today. So about 2PM the inspection was done and they said I needed new brakes. They also said they only had time for an oil change. They said they would call when done with that and didn't. So I got the car at 5, still with my old brakes, and will never return. Sometimes you just need to listen to your customer. They don't listen. Only have one car so lost a whole day
