The owner of Tony's Classic Motorsports reached out to me directly on Facebook offering help with Volkswagen maintenance, after he saw that'd I'd posted in an Everett community group looking for an auto detailer. I'm getting ready to replace my battery, and I do a lot of car camping, so I'm buying a high-performance deep cycle battery. When I explained the specific battery I wanted for my vehicle, the interaction quickly made it clear that he was not particularly knowledgeable about high-performance car batteries and was not interested in helping a customer obtain the part they had already selected. Rather than discussing the request or looking into the battery I mentioned, he dismissed it outright and pivoted to pushing the batteries he prefers to sell. There was no attempt to understand the customer's objective or work toward a solution. If you are looking for a shop that is collaborative, well-informed about current battery options, or willing to accommodate reasonable customer requests, take your work elsewhere. I'm actually glad I had this experience, because I probably wouldn't have come to Yelp and seen that he's got TEN one star reviews. I'm now fully informed about this place, and I'll never bring my car here. read more

Avoid this place at all costs!!! I will be reporting to the business bureau. This is the worst place you can take your car. I took my car to them because I was having issues with my coolant. I told him the problem and he started working on the car without discussing any costs. After 15 mins, he came back and quoted me around $1500. I was shocked and told him no I don't want to do that. He said I still had to pay $265 for the diagnostic. A cost and service he did not tell me about. When I told him why he didn't tell me the cost, he said I should've known and I should've signed his contract. But he did not tell me about any contract. He did not ask me to sign anything and started working on my car without disclosing his policies or any cost. I still offered to pay him $100 since he did do a "diagnostic" but instead, he kept fighting me. He is extremely disrespectful and hides his costs so he can force you to pay. I will be reporting to him to the business bureau and will pursue a claim. read more

I have nothing but the very best to say about Classic Motorsports. Not only are Tony, Alex, and Elias consummate professionals, they also happen to be some of the very nicest guys you'll ever meet. We are very, very fortunate to have such experienced and skilled technicians here in Mukilteo! read more

Stay far away from this place. I brought boyfriends car in on Monday, January 9th for them to look at the radiator. We were having a leak, had talked to them on Friday, Jan 6th, they said bring it in first thing Monday morning. Brought the car in & on the way out I asked the guy how long it would be, he said "tomorrow around noon" Tues at noon came & went w/o a single phone call. Weds I ended up calling them towards the end of the day I got a half response of they knew what the issue didn't know how much it would cost because their system was down. Can't fault them for a tech issue, but their phones worked just fine & they never bothered to call. I was told I would get a call first thing Thursday. Never happened. I had to call them Thursday afternoon. Was told they got the wrong hose, everything should be ready on Friday. Never got a call Friday morning, I called Friday afternoon & was told "oh yeah, it's ready. " so I go and pick the car up, get home & noticed there's something that resembles blood on the roof, the light and the sunroof area. It was absolutely disgusting & it was not dropped off like this. The repair work itself seems to be just fine, but these people are horrible communicators & disgusting for leaving blood in the car, not just a little drop either. Monday, Jan 16th few days after picking the car go out to drive the car for the first time and gets an alert he needs to check his fluids, pops the hood and the fluids are BONE dry. Not an once of liquid. I call this circus show back & get Tony, the owner, he was really rude, like I was an inconvenience for him to talk to. I told him what was wrong and I got "ohhhk" was told to bring the car in the following morning. Mention the blood I found on the ceiling & he tells me to bring the car in the same day. I also told him I wrote this review. We bring the car in, drop it off and it was either Tues or Weds we get a call back saying they know what's wrong with the car (what, you didn't know what was wrong with it the first time you "fixed it"?) and that we needed to come down to the shop. Luckily we only live 8 mins away. We go to the shop, Tony proceeds to tell me the blood wasn't from his people that it must have been from our dogs (who hadn't ridden in the car). He takes my boyfriend into the shop and shows him something that could have been discussed on the phone. Whatever. We leave with the idea that he's ordering parts and will get back to us. The next day Tony calls to tell us he won't do the repair while my review is still up (not paraphrasing that, it's what he said.) and also proceeded to tell my boyfriend the blood on the ceiling couldn't have come from one of his guys because they can't get their elbows up that high (who said anything about an elbow.. fingers bleed.... Other parts of the hand bleed) my boyfriend decided to dispute the charges on his credit card because the repair work didn't fix the issue, $1800 plus later and we still had the same exact problem. Fast forward to 2/6 and I get a phone call from Tony himself "this is Tony from Classic motorsports I understand you did a charge back on your credit card" I said "no. My boyfriend did" Tony says "if that money does get returned I am calling the cops, I am pressing charges and I'm having the cops come talk to you" for which I replied "Excuse me?! Did you just threaten me" Tony said "no.." I said "yes you did. You told me the money needed to be returned or you were calling the cops..." then he hung up on me. What I didn't get to finish saying is you didn't complete the work (never offered up the car parts you "fixed" which is a requirement in this state) and then refused to fix your mess up because of a review that was 100% honest. Tony is a bully aa horrible mechanic, his business skills SUCK, his communication skills SUCK, and if you're a female, be prepared to be talked down to & treated like an idiot. Give yourself a peace of mind and find an honest and reliable mechanic, because that is NOT Tony read more

Classic Motorsports - Blood when picking up the car. Still can't get it out of the fabric. - Auto Repair Near Me - Mukilteo, Washington

See all

Courteous, reliable and good value for the service provided. The folks here are very knowledgeable and did a great job with our recent service appointment. The price was reasonable compared to a lot of other places and the service was very good. Would definitely go back when needed and do recommend this place. read more

Save yourself, call someone else! Took my car in for spark plug and coil packs changed. I chose these guys because they quoted me cheaper than the other shops I called. So he quoted me $484 for plugs and coils together, TOGETHER! But he charged me $427.44 WITHOUT THE COILS! He said I did not need them. And that coils are $88 dollars a piece! So why quote me $484 for the both of them then? So he lied to me about the quote then? Plus my car is misfiring still. read more

We found Classic Motorsports after a negative encounter at the Range Rover dealership service department, and how grateful we are to have found them! Tony and everyone who works there is super nice, knowledgeable, and have been exceptionally accommodating. Their pricing is very fair and work is always completed in a timely manner. As someone who doesn't know more about cars than average, I especially appreciate how honest they are. I enthusiastically recommend! read more

Excellent service on our Mercedes GLK by Elliot. Quickly problem solved when the check engine light came on our car. Reliable and service with integrity. read more

Was quoted $800 - $1,000 for an oil pan gasket replacement. "Two day" repair. The scope did not increase. Had the car for five days. Cost ended up being $1,270. No explanation. Unforetunately, the search for a reputable repair shop continues! read more

Definitely not honest or professional folks. I ran away from the BMW Seattle sticker shock, expecting that I would get a better deal by going to an independent repair shop (a.k.a. Classic MotorSport, a.k.a. BMW Independent Service). Boy, I was wrong. The BMW Seattle wanted $300 bucks plus tax for the battery replacement. Keep in mind the battery itself costs ~ $175 bucks Classic Motorsport wanted $358.47 including tax for the work but when I told them what BMW Seattle offered, they said would match the price that BMW Seattle offered me at. Mmmmm, something wrong with the picture here? I asked them how much they charge for labor. They said $100 bucks an hour. Guess how long the battery change took? less than 15 minutes. I still got charged $100 bucks for the service. Guess what? He never even bothered testing the car. He just went in, replaced the battery, and went directly to his desk and gave me an invoice for the job. He didn't even reset the clock either. I actually had to walk back out and look at the car, start it up. It started up fine. Wow, for $100 bucks, you would kinda expect him to actually test the vehicle, reset the clock so it shows appropriate time, etc. . common courtesy stuff. . I feel like the biggest sucker for saying yes to the service when every bone in my body was saying "RUN", but I assumed that I needed a special equipment for the recoding purpose. It turns out that I didn't need it, the only thing that would've have gone out of sync was the clock. Lesson learned . . . don't go to this place ever again. Replace the battery yourself, take basic Auto Mechanic 101. Or at least troll a couple BMW forums to find some honest mechanics within the Seattle area and visit them. STAY AWAY FROM THEM, or if you like their price, then just go to an official BMW dealership, they'll charge you less. read more

This review is long overdue. Sorry guys. Last fall, I took my 2011 Mini Cooper in for a tune up because it was running a bit rough and it needed an oil change anyway. I had recently relocated to Mukilteo from Seattle and had only ever taken my little beast to the Mini dealership. I had no expectations of anything magical happening to my car, but dang. It has not run that smooth in a very, very long time. Actually, I was so impressed, I went back in a few days later to tell them in person how happy I was. I am still beyond grateful, and feel like an entirely new life was bestowed upon my coop. read more

They were able to get my 2013 535i in the same day I called in after it had over heated on me. They looked at it same day, diagnosed the issue, got the replacement part and had my car done by the following afternoon. Price was consistent with my online research and the car is running great so no complaints from this customer. read more

Mike and Lance have been maintaining my 2007 BMW 328i since the included dealer service ran out, a number of years now. Here are my experiences: 1) Broadly knowledgeable about BMWs and foreign cars generally 2) Reasonably priced. 3) Always on time. 4) Doesn't milk customers for extra money. 5) Is great at recommending best practices maintenance for owners like me who keep cars a long time. 6) Has the official BMW electronic test tool and access directly to BMW for technical support when neeeded. I see some folks find Mike cranky; I think a much better term is crusty. He's been around and it shows. To me, longevity is an advantage. More experience, more knowledge. I don't expect my mechanics to have flight attendant manners and would respond to those commentators, overall, get over it whiners. read more

I brought my beloved 2010 BMW 335D to Classic Motorsports to replace a few oil feed lines and the valve cover gasket. This was the first time I've ever had the car serviced outside of BMW Seattle. I admit I was nervous leaving her in a stranger's hands, but the reviews on Yelp were decent and I've lived in this area most of my life and I know this shop has been around for a long time. In retrospect, my internal warning signals were going off from the start but I wanted to believe I had found a great local shop so I ignored them. For instance, this is a huge shop...where are all the mechanics? There was no paperwork offered up front, only a verbal estimate. Upon pick-up I received only the most rudimentary receipt and no detailed description of work done or finding. To my surprise, the car was out of service for nearly two weeks. When it was complete I picked it up and drove to a nearby grocery store. When I opened the trunk to put in groceries, I saw a serious dent in the trunk lid that was not there before. Because of the orientation of the dent, it was clearly made while the trunk lid was open. There is no environment that I am in where that could happen. But, the car's battery is in the trunk so I could visualize the trunk open in the shop. I returned immediately to the shop and said hey guys, there's a dent in my car. The mechanic wasn't interested. Mike the owner came out and stared at it for awhile. He said well that sure is strange, and clearly it was made with the trunk open, and yes the trunk would have been open while they were working on the car, but there's just no way it could have been them because they care so much. He (literally) wished me good luck with that, and I drove away unsatisfied. Here is the part that prompted me to write a review. This morning I opened my hood to do a little cleaning. There is a long bar-shaped component that spans the engine; I presume it is a sensor of some sort. As soon as I touched it with my cleaning cloth I noticed it was loose. Two out of three tabs that clip it into the cowling are busted off. There is a large screw/bolt missing from the cabin air cleaner cover. There is an access hatch cover missing in another location. And the grand prize winner: one of the mechanic's large Snap-On screwdrivers lodged in the engine compartment. I couldn't make this stuff up. The work that the car was in there for appears to have been done correctly, as evidenced by the car is running well. A quick quote from BMW Seattle verifies I didn't save any money over having it done with them (and they would have turned it around in a day). And now I am paranoid about what else was damaged or lost or not put back together correctly that I can't see. I am going to have to pay BMW Seattle now to inspect the car out of caution and to set my mind at ease. I am beyond disappointed, and I feel like I have betrayed my car. read more

Worst experience ever. After several weeks and several thousand dollars they said they could not fix my car (a high end Mercedes) and did not offer any sort of refund. Stay away. read more

I have taken my girlfriend's BMW into Classic Motorsports a few times now for various repairs and have been treated fairly and feel like I have been given above and beyond service. First there was a serious coolant leak. The person I talked to on the phone explained it was probably and issue with the radiator and hoses and quoted me a lower price than the other shops I had called. The repair was done quickly and ended up being less than what was quoted! I then had some brake issues and took the car in again. Once again it was done quickly and I felt I had been treated fairly on the price. They also rotated my tires and fixed my sticky drivers side lock mechanism at no extra charge. There also seems to be a shop Great Dane that is there every time I take the car in. He is huge and friendly and worth a trip in just to see. read more

BMWS are expensive to repair bottom line. At classic motorsports I feel that Mike is honest and tells me what can wait and what needs to be done as soon as possibe. He always pays attention to the details and I like that I can bring my car in when I am available and get a ride to work. Overall, I think they are very knowledgeable and fair! read more

I've been using Classic Motorsports for the past couple of years. Service visits have been a combination of standard service items I don't have time to do myself as well as diagnosis and repair of various curiosities that show up as "the beast" starts to show her age. My experience has been very positive. Having moved around a bit, I have used a variety of BMW service shops (both dealer and independent) between here and the east coast. Mike's shop is among the best I've used. Diagnosis, feedback, and work is conducted expeditiously and on schedule. The estimates are generally less than I expect, and they do not include the "growth work" that some of the facilities I've used previously tend to identify. Great shop! read more

I've gone here before to have some work done on my 3 series. Company beat out BMW Bellevue, Strictly Independent, and Eastside European, so I was happy with that. Close to work so convenient. Today I took my wife's X3 in to diagnose a stumbling issue below 2K RPM. Owner is a total grump. I told him on the phone there was previously a cylinder 6 misfire code 3 months ago which cleared itself (I checked the code with my scanner at home which reported P306 cylinder 6 misfire). Since it cleared itself I just let the car be as it seemed to be driving fine. Last week I noted it would stumble under moderate acceleration if below 2K RPM. I replaced the cylinder 6 coil myself (and spark plug) which did nothing. So, I called Classic Motorsport yesterday to tell them this and ask if they knew what else the problem could be or could diagnose for me. I brought the car in this morning and sat down with the owner. I showed him the previous coil which I replaced which he placed on his desk before getting up to drive my car in to the shop. On his way out, he said "Do you want to keep that coil?", I said "no that is ok" to which he replied "That wasn't a question" telling me to get it off his desk. Totally f-ing rude. Next he asked if I'd like to sit around while they scanned the car. I already know there is no CEL but figured ok, that's step 1 of the diagnosis. I waited for another 15 minutes while they called about other vehicles in their shop, finally he came back in and tossed me the keys and sat at his desk. I figured he was checking on something further but he eventually told me there was no code and nothing wrong with it so they couldn't do anything further. I said I knew there were no codes or I would have fixed at home myself. I said it is only stumbling when driving it, can't they drive it and have an indication of what could be the cause? They are a freakin BMW repair shop after all. He said no. Complete waste of my time and rude service. I will never go there again. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Classic Motorsports! In this day and age it is rare to find a mechanic that is not only knowledgeable but also trustworthy - Mike is both. Both times that my car has needed fairly in-depth work, Mike has been my guy. The turn around time is fantastic - what one mechanic told me would be a few weeks Mike did in a few days. His prices are fair, and he tells you exactly what NEEDS to be done and what can wait a little bit - which is extremely helpful when your car is already facing pretty significant repairs. As long as I own a European car, Mike will have my business! read more

They wanted 3000 to lower my car... It's 850$ at another shop they don't know anything here very rude

I've been bringing my 2005 BMW 330Xi to Classic almost exclusively since it came off of warranty. Mike has always been very honest with me about what made sense regarding the maintenance of my car and what cold potentially wait. The quality of work has been consistently good and the price consistent with other BMW repair facilities I've quoted for work. I genuinely appreciate that over time Mike and his folks have come to "know" my car which I am confident helps improve the quality of service. It is pretty clear that Mike and his folks are car guys first and everything else second which gives me confidence in both the work they do and the recommendations they make. I take my car in for all of it's routine service as well which I am confident has helped prevent more expensive emergency repairs. I only wish Classic were open at least some time outside of normal work hours so I didn't have to adjust my work schedule to service my car. However, this is a small issue to keep my car running well. read more
