This is in response to Richard G.'s review. Richard brought his car in for Failed Emissions. In order to receive new tags, the DOE requires to either have the problem fixed, or have an Emissions Waiver signed by a DOE/DOL approved ASE Technician. The DOE requires a MINIMUM of $150.00 to be spent towards the vehicle, before a Tech can sign a waiver (if not fix the problem). The owner did not want to fix his car, he requested a signed waiver. So we pulled all the codes, following their direction, took the time to diagnose the reason for failing. When the owner picked up his car, along with the signed Waiver, we also did an estimate for a new Catalytic Converter at Dealer prices to show what it COULD cost to fix. Most Dealers are at a shop time of $138.00 an hour, our shop is WELL below that, as well as below average for non-dealer shops. Yes, AutoZone will pull codes for free, but it's not a diagnosis, they can not sign the Waiver, they can't fix a vehicle, and their readers don't give them any information other than the code numbers. And the DOE $15 for the emissions, not to tell you what's wrong with your car. If you have any questions, please feel free to call us: 360-695-6030, thank you. read more

I recently had service done on my vehicle at Ding's Complete Car Care on Columbia St. in Downtown Vancouver and let me tell you, the way they make you feel is better then family. They are absolutely Unique. They are family owned and operated with just a great group of people working there. Not only did I have my vehicle serviced, I also was able to get an estimate on a few scratches I have on one of my doors because they are also a Collision Center/ Body shop all in one. Now that I am aware of this local repair facility I will never take my vehicle anywhere else. I was treated so well. They actually listened to me and that made me feel great! When do you ever feel good after leaving a Auto repair Facility, I know I never did. I have the peace of mind that my vehicle is in great hands. If you prefer feeling like someone cares about your concerns and you want to find someone that you feel confident in, locally, Choose Ding's because they are the most trustworthy and friendly people in the Northwest Automotive Industry. Thanks again to the Team at Ding's you saved the day, read more

I was flagged down on I-5 because our work truck was smoking, I pulled off and discovered i was leaking oil fast and furious. I added some oil and stated looking for a repair shop, after stopping at 2 other shops I came across Dings, They took a look at it and indicated they would do what they could to get me going. Keep in mind this is 4:00 on a Friday afternoon and I need to make it to Newberg OR. After dropping everything the owner worked on our truck for almost 2 hours. He not only stayed after hours but did what it took to fix the truck and got me going. The whole time I am thinking this guy has me at any price, but after staying late, his wife included, they only charged me $125.00.. Not only above and beyond service but unbelievably fair pricing. If you are in the Vancouver area and need auto repair service or auto body work I would definitively recommend Dings. read more

This is always my first call when I have a car problem. I'm always treated fairly and the staff takes the extra time to make sure all of my questions are answered. They will go over the various options and associated costs and are not chintzy with their professional advice. They have never given me a bill that is more than the original estimate. There have been a few times when I have been forced to go to other shops because of scheduling (or my being out of town), and the service almost never compares to Ding's. They are a family owned and operated business and it's very clear that customer satisfaction is a top priority. Being a small business, they understand that money doesn't grow on trees, and will advise you as to what repairs are absolutely necessary, and which ones can be safely postponed. One of the few businesses that I would recommend so highly. read more

My sister and I were on a trip down to Portland from Seattle for a fun get away when my car began to stutter on I-5, it was terrifying, so we pulled off at the Main St. exit where we ran into a mechanic who recommended Dings to us. Off we drove, found Dings, got out of the car and asked for someone to talk with. And who should step forward but Troy Ding himself. He did a full diagnostic, determined the trouble was most likely with the poorly installed spark plugs. Troy tightened them and away we went! We made it to Portland with no problem! And once we arrived we actually received a phone call from Dings to make sure we'd arrived safely. I will recommend Dings to anyone! They restored my faith in mechanics again! read more

I began coordinating with Dings while I was deployed to Afghanistan to do some performance upgrades on my Challenger SRT8. I live halfway accross the state (Spanaway, WA) from Dings and chose them to work on my car based on other folks with cars similar to mine (Charger, 300, Magnum) that took their cars to Dings for performance work. The shops more local to me in the Seattle/Tacoma area are way way overpriced on hourly rates and I never got a warm and fuzzy that the local shops could tune my vehicle properly. For a performance build, you can save some money if you pre-order the parts yourself and bring them in when you drop of the vehicle. read more

If you are as tired as I am of auto shops bending you over, use Ding's! If you are a parent getting your kids car fixed, use Ding's. I had a vehicle towed there to get diagnosed. $50. VERY FAIR! I had a friend get their car diagnosed at 2 places. The first charged $150 and said the repairs were $3000! Din's charged $50 to diagnose and it was $1500. The car is safe and drives well. They are a local business, and their staff is very helpful and nice! read more

I recently had custom exhaust installed on my wife's Challenger for her birthday. Not only did the team at ding's help keep the secret, they did an excellent job! She is extremely happy with the work they did. I will soon be bringing my charger in or exhaust and (hopefully) some more tuning work. I am looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the excellent team at Ding's in Vancouver. Thank you guys!! read more

Wouldn't trust any other shop in the area work on my 700hp dodge charger. Troy has always done fantastic reliable work from installing a new engine and drivetrain to tuning. Last year I was having some problems with my fuel pump and Troy drove all the way up to Tacoma to help fix it. Don't think any other shop would have done the same. read more

Dings for the win. After years of spending money and nobody being able to finish my 2009 dodge Challenger (stroker,supercharger and direct port n20) I took her down to Dings (150 miles away) and My experience was awesome. I got my car back and I couldn't be more pleased. I will never take my car anywhere else. Well worth the drive. read more
