I wanted to share my concerns regarding my recent experience with Jimmy's shop. Unfortunately, communication has been very challenging, calls often go unanswered, and it's been difficult to get timely updates. Additionally, when I brought a family member's car in, we were charged the full amount with the assurance that the issue would gradually improve. However, the problem persists, and there has been no accountability for the initial promise or charge. For anyone considering your services, I strongly recommend getting everything in writing, as verbal commitments have not been honored in my experience. Based on this, I will not be trusting my vehicles to this business in the future, nor will I be referring friends or family. read more

Never answers the phone. Called three different times in 2 months just goes to voicemail and never get a call back. Was referred to them by a co worker who went here a long time ago. I give up trying and will find someone who wants local business read more

Good honest mechanics who will give you a reasonable price. 10/10 would recommend to anyone I know.

Impressed with this business. Always able to help and so far they have done good honest work devoid of common mechanic like vibes that they might be ripping you off. I will be taking more vehicles here. read more

I have been taking all of my cars to Jimmy and his team for years. They are the best. Honest, fair pricing, great work, and don't take our cars anywhere else. read more

Not the cheapest, but the best in service. They don't mess around and try to sell you crap that you don't need nor want. I also now send both of my boys there. read more

STILL taking my car to Jimmy. I called on a Monday to see when he was open for a tune up, oil change and tire rotation. He said the next day... I dropped it off... and came back at the end of the day. All was done and at a good price too. read more

Jimmy and Cascade Auto Repair are the absolute best. I have been a customer for years, Jimmy has worked on my Mercedes, Jaguar, GMC and Toyota, all the work is done right the first time and on time. Jimmy is honest and he and his team do solid work. His prices are great, his work is outstanding. Don't judge a book by it's cover, this place isn't fancy, they don't have loaners or shuttle service, but remember all these services would cause him to have to charge higher prices. He is a top tier mechanic that knows what he's doing, I totally trust this guy. The one time he couldn't fix a problem (tranmission) he refered me to an equally qualified transmission shop. I would never go to another shop...period. Trust Jimmy for your mechanic needs...honest, affordable and top quality, done right and on time. Thank you Jimmy! 5 Stars! read more

I have been a happy and loyal customer at Cascade Auto repair for over a decade or so. I can always rely on Jimmy and his staff to work on simple issues such as oil changes and tire rotations to more complicated matters relating to the car engine. He's honest and prices are always reasonable compared to the dealers. read more

We have been bringing our cars to Jimmie at this locations for years. He is very knowledgeable and most importantly, HONEST!! It is almost impossible to find a mechanic that is honest and charges a fair price. An example: our "check engine" light came on, we took it to Jimmie to check it out. He hooked it up to his hand held electronic device, (not sure what it's called), and told us it was a loose gas cap. We replaced the cap and the problem was solved! Very fair and honest guy, and does good work and guarantees his work as well. read more

Nothing but love and respect for Jimmy! Since I have had my 2008 Nissan Altima in 2007, I have been to many places since my dealership closed. I was promised free lifetime oil changes only to find out the dealership went into some kind of bankruptcy (Burien Nissan). Shortly after when I needed an oil change and no guidance of where to go my Uncle told me about a great mechanic that lived a few minutes away from him who took great care of his cars and has been his mechanic forever. To make a long story short I don't go anywhere to fix or maintain issues on my car unless it is by Jimmy here at Cascade Auto Shop. read more

Noticed a belt was shredding. Took my car into Cascade Auto, without notification, and he was able to identify the issue, replace, and provide an oil change same day. I picked up around 5pm and he had the bad piece out for me to view/take home to share with my spouse. Jimmy is very honest, communicative, and a straight shooter. Would highly reccommend read more

My car was power off and stopped on the street, tow service took my car to nearby auto repair -Cascade. I am glad and feel so lucky because Jimmy did a great job and fixed the problem on the same day, the price is pretty fair as well. read more

I had a friend recommend this place awhile back for all car maintenance including oil changes. I like having actual mechanics do oil changes vs. quick lube places. Last Friday, I called, they said come on in and it would take 15 minutes. I drove out there, intent on using this place for all maintenance like my friend did. I showed up and the guy walks up and says "I forgot to tell you we can only take cash today because we're technically closed so the computer is down because my boss is out and we're supposed to be closed." I was immediately frustrated because it was the 2nd place I called before I drove there that said they could do it and when I got there, had some issue. The first place I called failed to mention a 3 hour wait. I don't carry much cash. I told him I only had maybe $20 and he started to get frustrated with me! "Saying no it's $35 and I'm trying to help you out, why don't you have cash? I forgot to tell you but why don't you have cash?" over and over. I finally told him that I was leaving because I don't have cash and can't magically create it and that he lost a customer that was going to use them for all maintenance. I realized later that it was odd they were supposed to be closed but taking business on the side for cash. That seemed shady after I thought it through. Like if they had done a poor job (like forgot to put oil in), there would have been no record of it for me to get it fixed by them. Yeah, staying away. read more

My dad made his living as a mechanic, so even though I never learned much about cars, I think I have a pretty solid idea of a good mechanic when I find one. Jimmy is a straight shooter. I've been taking our cars to him for as long as we've been living in the neighborhood. He explains in very simple, straightforward terms what's wrong with the car, gives an estimate, and gets the work done fast. And his rates are very fair. Very highly recommended. read more

Great place! essentially same price as the dealer Ship, had my lower arm bushings done and brakes on my CR-V. Great and fast service! Recommend. read more

I had to get my car towed here since it was close to my house. I got a call the next morning from Jimmy and he was very compassionate. He explained the timeline and cost. My car was done in a few hours on time and within budget. Highly recommend. read more

I have check engine light that was on, I stopped by think Jimmy the owner or one of his tech could give me an estimate. Guess what Jimmy said he doesn't have a computer scanner and can't give me a ball park estimate I press him so he said " OK bring $2000 dollars when you bring in your car" nice smart ass respond. So guess what I won't be bringing any more or my families cars to this shop. A shop without a OBDII scanner really ??? But they do have attitude if that's what your after this is the shop for you. read more

I'm wondering why all the reviews are five stars except one. Should tell you something, right?? So I've used Jimmy time and time again for the simple things like routine maintenance to installing starters, window switches, electrical issues. ....as long as you make an appointment, and sure there are emergencies, I've has some, having an appointment is the way to go. Give him a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Honesty is rare and Jimmy is the best. He has served both of my Jaguar XJL's, my Acura MDX, Kia Sorrento, and my kids cars...ALWAYS lower than the cost of a dealer shop and always honest about what NEEDS to be done and what does not...how refreshing. read more

I can't say enough good things about Cascade Auto Repair. The owner "Jimmy" or Tune if you want use his real Vietnamese name is as honest as they come. My mom starting going to him, then I went, my roommate now goes. His turn around time is super fast. His prices are fair. I got a quote from firestone for a cracked radiator and Cascade's price was a little less than half. I drive from Seattle to take my car there. His work is great. I have never had a problem. read more

I cannot say enough about how much I love Jimmy and Cascade. Just to give you a clue, I live in Seattle and travel 30 mins (45 in traffic) to get to this garage. I have a BMW have tried several mechanics in King Co. Not only do they charge $40-60 more per labor hour, but things would always end up either still wrong or else new problems popped up. So, even though Jimmy does not have loaner cars, the cost savings greatly exceeds the rental cost. Second, I have never gone anywhere with such turn-around. Somehow he gets the parts and does the work in a heartbeat. And, my little 1999 has not had to go back in a year (just maintenance this year)--so work quality is stellar. They have a cult following, so get in fast. If you have any car, but especially German-builts--this is the place for you! read more

He is the only one who works on my families cars, and trucks Jimmy is the man! fair pricing, great work, wait times; Short even on major repairs.... If you are in the Renton area in need of repair or routine maintenance go see Jimmy. read more

We have been taking our cars to Jimmy at Cascade Auto Repair for YEARS! He is fair and trustworthy. You can't say about a lot of businesses. He never over-charges, in fact we are always so pleased with how reasonable his prices are. He is very fast and only fixes what is broken. We have been to other mechanics who try to convince us that our car needs more done. We are very lucky to have such a great mechanic taking care of our cars!! read more

We have been taking our vehicles to Jimmy for a number of years now, and wouldn't think of going anywhere else. From oil changes to bigger jobs, he has always come through for us. With his shop we have experienced quick turn arounds, great customer service, honesty, and very competitive pricing. To me, it all boils down to whether I feel confident or not in the skills and motives of the person(s) I'm handing my vehicle over to. Jimmy and the staff at Cascade Auto Repair easily meet this criteria. We are currently in the market for a new (used) vehicle, and will be taking any prospective purchase in to Cascade Auto Repair to be checked out. Out of the makes we are considering, Jimmy has already advised us on the one he sees more often with problems in the shop. Another benefit of knowing a skilled mechanic! If you want a knowledgeable mechanic with integrity, go talk to Jimmy at Cascade Auto Repair. read more

Thank you, Jimmy, for taking care of our Sienna! It's so nice to have a neighborhood shop that is reasonably priced and honest. He's always cheaper than the dealership, and he has a sweet black shop kitty. read more

Needed a repair it was the closest place to get a tow so i just rolled the dice... glad i did... that was 15 years ago and jimmy has been the only guy i will let touch my car since... honest as can be, always done on time or earlier... all my referrals are blown away by the service and became repeat customers... dont hesitate cascade auto repair is a real winner read more

I always come here for my maintenance checkups and repairs. Jimmy is honest, friendly, and does excellent work. Everyone else who works there is also very friendly and warm. When parts are needed to be ordered for repairs, it is quick and the service charges are at a really good price. It seems like this place gets a lot customers with luxury European cars. I definitely recommend this shop. read more

Jimmy is the best in the business! when I went to Firestone to have a diagnostic done, they said I needed a new starter which was $800. I took it to Jimmy and he said no that's not the case and he gave me the right diagnosis within minutes and saved me $$$$. Cascade will be my first stop for all my auto needs, and I highly recommend them. read more

I relied on the 5-star reviews and brought my Tacoma in for AC repair, summer 2011. Jimmy was such a nice guy, called me on the phone and told me the AC was only leaking Freon, or whatever to make air cool. He refilled it, pressure checked, tested..The bill was only 150, including the compartment air filter...I thought it was cheap... Alas, the AC worked only for a few weeks in summer 2011, by the end of summer, no cool air came on. I called and Jimmy promised me to take a look, when he got Freon again...several calls and still no freon. No problem, I need no AC in winter months... Fast forward to summer 2012 , I brought my Tacoma back. Jimmy again called and said he found the loose nut, just need to be tightened, refill, and off it goes. 100 bucks with promise anything wrong, just bring it back... Well, this time the AC worked for total about 10 hours driving in summer 2012. Then gradually, no cool air again. I called and explained, and Jimmy said " sorry it must be in the electronic control, I could not repair it" "really? you can not fix the AC?" I asked . "I am sorry" That's all. Jimmy a nice guy to the end, but a waste of time and money for me. If he can not fix an AC, he can not fix complicated problem. I am going to bring my Tacoma to the dealer, come summer 2013. read more

First of all i would like to Thank Jimmy He is a Awesome Mechanic but he is an even Better Guy.

cascade auto repair . the best place i know good price , good service, good mechanics thanks cascade

You will not find a more honest shop then here. Jimmy has been our family mechanic for MANY years, my father has a 92 Corolla with excess of 250K miles on it and the reason it keeps going is because we have Jimmy & Cascade Auto as our go to shop. The work is always solid every time and the prices are the best I have ever paid, very affordable. Jimmy knows me and my father by name and always greats us in a very nice and personable way, it's hard to find honest work these days and this place does just that. I have brought in my 91 Suburban many times ranging from basic preventative work to major repairs, Jimmy is always VERY prompt in both his work and calling me to let me know what kind of work my truck will need, it too is in excess of 250k miles now and I never worry one bit about it. No high pressure sales tactics whatsoever, just lays out the problem, price and options on the table. I refer everyone I know to Cascade Auto Repair. I only live 10 minutes away but I'd easily drive an hour to get here if I needed too. Thanks for all the good work Jimmy! read more
