It just takes the stress out. That's been my experience with Mackert and working with Chris over the last few years. The guy is super friendly, a great listener, and I've come to have no doubt that he's looking out for his customers' best needs and interests. I probably should have written this review a long time ago, but after he and the shop went the extra mile for me (again) a couple of days ago, my guilt finally got to me! Anyway, Mackert is great and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Spec German was highly recommended to me by a fellow Kitsap County German car owner as the place to go for German luxury car service and repair. I was not disappointed in heeding his advice. Everyone I've spoken to at the shop is courteous and pleasant. Jacob, who performed the service, took a significant amount of time to answer my many questions. (I probably took more time out of his day than I should have.) He showed a great deal of knowledge in his craft, care for the work he performs, and attention to doing the job right. Given the overall experience, quality of work, and reasonable rates, I will definitely bring my car back for all non-warranty service and maintenance.

When the issue came back, the dealership told me everything looked fine but claimed I had sticky exhaust valves and would need a new engine and was quoted around $10,000. I decided to get a second opinion at Gig Harbor Automotive, and I'm so glad I did. They treated me incredibly well from start to finish and performed a very thorough diagnostic. The technician scoped the engine and ruled out sticky valves completely. Instead, they found that the dealership had installed the wrong spark plug in cylinder 2. What really stood out was that the technician took extra time after hours to walk me through everything he found and explain it in detail. Bottom line: they are honest, thorough, and fair which is hard to find these days. I truly appreciate their integrity and highly recommend them.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR AN HONEST MECHANIC, THIS IS THE PLACE…read moreI never write reviews for places, that's how good they are. My mom and I have taken our cars to Peninsula Subaru to get them serviced regularly since 2008. However, in June, when I took my car in for its 150,000 service, Subaru Service informed us that my car needed its transmission replaced and quoted the job to cost $10,206. My family and I were skeptical of this and were recommended absolute autocare by a close family friend who said this mechanic shop is honest and run by good people. We took my car here for a second opinion and I am so glad that I did because they found that the dealership had lied to us, there was nothing wrong with my transmission and only my wheel bearings needed to be replaced which took the cost from $10,206 to $800 to get them done at the shop. I am so unbelievably grateful for these guys, suffice to say Absolute Autocare gained a new loyal customer and I will be recommending them to all my friends and family from here on out.
