    The carpet under my WeatherTech mat that was torn by lifting up on the mat with undue force, and was hidden from me.
    Valerie M.

    CONSUMER BEWARE!!! First of all, and an important fact, is that any reviews that were posted a year ago were when Don still owned the business. Now? If I could leave negative stars I would. Do not take your vehicle here! I'll just mention a couple of reasons. The guy behind the counter, Grant, doesn't wear a mask at all. If the rest of us care enough to wear one, that proves he doesn't care or respect customers. Moneeva, or whatever her name is, is difficult to understand with her broken English, has a disrespectful attitude, and doesn't know anything about cars! If you're going to buy a mechanical shop at least hire someone that respects customers and knows what they're doing. They have muddied the Bitterling name, which infuriates me. I took my suv in there to check for a body leak. Four hours later they couldn't find it. I was frustrated that I wasted my afternoon waiting for their incompetence. An older man came in from the garage area, heard my frustration, and said, in the ugliest tone, "You don't do this!" I probably could better than them after my experiences. The no masked front desk guy and that old man from the back offended me, and Moneeva took no responsibility for their behavior. Instead she agreed. My last point is this. The mechanic had taken out the drain plug under the drivers side carpet and didn't bother to put it back. I had to take my car to a body shop later in the month and they found it and put it back. Also, I have WeatherTech mats that are attached with floor hooks and can be tricky to lift out, but not impossible. The mechanic pulled up on it so hard it ripped it out of the carpet! I've attached a photo of it. They hid the fact and still won't take responsibility for it! It's since been repaired by the body shop I mentioned. For these and other reasons, if you have any self-respect and if you care about your vehicle, go anywhere but here.

    See all

    I had a wonderful experience with the team at Matsenko Auto. I have a 2021 charger scat pack with a…read morebig brake setup (400 mm two-piece rotors and 6 piston brembo brakes). For a dealer job with OEM parts, this costs around $4500 for the front pair. After doing tons of research, I decided to utilize a quality aftermarket kit. However, when I talked to the dealer, they tried to steer me away from this, and while they said they could do it with aftermarket parts, they seemed very unsure and cited issues with prior customers going this route. Another local shop told me they wouldn't be comfortable replacing just the rotors (they wanted me to bring a factory rotor/hat assembly which is honestly unnecessary if old hats are in good shape). I did not feel very confident with both shops. I reached out to Matsenko on yelp by chance and their tech, William, responded within a couple of hours and knew exactly what I was trying to do. I was honestly surprised at how knowledgeable he was with my specific brake job and decided to give them a shot. They got me in quick, and everything was done by end of next day. The brake job is excellent, there is no noise or judder, and braking action is very smooth. In addition, they did an hvac cleaning for me (i had some contamination in my evaporator core) which another shop tried, and failed, and charged me $500 for the whole ordeal. All of this was done well at a fraction of the cost at Matsenko, and I saved thousands. I am very pleased with everything, and the amount of attention to communication I received is something I rarely see these days. Everyone was also very nice and personable, from the shop owner, to the tech and to reception which is also less common these days. I drove all the way from Olympia to have this done, and when my rear brakes need a swap, I know who I'll be calling Thank you for the wonderful service everyone!

    I needed some work on the rear passenger side panel. I called for an estimate and was able to get…read more it that same day. I was more than satisfied with the estimate, and I was told more work might be needed, depending on what they saw once they started working. I appreciated their honesty. I took my car in the next day, and two days later (I had been told it might take 3 to 5 days) I got it back. Not only were there are no extra charges, but the bill was less than the estimate. And what a nice surprise when I got into my car - it had been cleaned and looked a lot better than when I took it in! The people there were friendly, accommodating, and knew what they were doing. I am not an easy person to please - this was an excellent experience!
