Emily's Garage is one of the Seattle city-approved vehicle safety inspection mechanics.  They offer…read moreASE-certified TNC inspections, pre-buyer inspections, diagnostic services, and general car inspections.  They have three locations - Everett, Tacoma, and Burien. For the vehicle safety inspection, I didn't have to make an appointment.  It was fine to do a walk-in. When I visited Emily's Garage, there was a customer who was pretty upset with the repairs and the cost.  I was able to hear what the customer had to go through but I would not comment on that as I have limited information. From my experience of getting my vehicle inspected, I was very surprised at how quickly they were able to complete the vehicle inspection.  It was done in less than 2 minutes, and I paid over $50 for that service.   For comparison, when I had my vehicle inspected at Les Schwab Tire Centers in Portland, they spent over 20 minutes to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and the cost for the inspection was only $20.   Will I re-visit Emily's Garage for the vehicle inspection?  Probably not but if the state requires me to get the vehicle inspection done, I will probably have no choice as there are not that many shops that offer the ASE-certified inspection.

My car had been giving me some intermittent stalling issues and one morning simply would not start…read more I had it towed to GP Automotive as they had good reviews and were located close to me. This was in February. They investigated and found a lot of parts they wanted to replace. My car being older (2005) I wasn't totally shocked by this but I asked for assurances that this would fix the problem and that the car would be reliable. They assured me this would take care of the issue. It cost $4200. Less than 300 miles later the car again died on me (intermittent stall) and I brought it back to GP Automotive (They hardly remembered me and misremembered the make and transmission of my car). They called me after a few days, said they were unable to reproduce the issue (so, no fix), and that I could pick the car up. I told them to take pride in their work and to please resolve the issue, reminding them that they had already charged me more than $4,000 and that the car was still not fixed, and that I was well within my rights to leave them a less-than-stellar review. They quickly agreed to redouble their efforts. They had the car from mid-May through to the end of July when they finally decided to replace two additional parts (they could still not confirm what the cause of the issue was) for an another $600. In that time frame I reached out for updates 15 times. They reached out to me three times. Again, less than 200 miles from pickup, the car died on me today. I will never return to GP automotive. You should never bring your vehicle there either. P.S. I would like to personally call out Nick for being extremely unreliable with updates, unrealistic on timeframes, and inaccurate in his quotes.

I'll never go back! We took in our 2011 Mercedes E350. Oil was leaking into the radiator. They…read morecharged us 4300.00 for a bunch of work they said was needed. When we got the car back, the fan belt was making noise and the interior fan didn't work. We assumed they had not put it all back together correctly and so took it back to get the situation corrected. They wanted another 1200 dollars to fix it. They said it was just a coincidence that these things went bad at the same time. We said we would get a second opinion. It was after that, they told us that a 900 dollar part they had replaced previously, was defective and they would replace it free of charge. Like they were doing us a favor. Long story short, the fan mysteriously started working after we picked it up and the fan noise eventually went away on its own. Second opinion mechanic couldn't find anything wrong. The whole experience and comments from the guy at the front desk made this all feel very shady.

For too long I've searched for an auto repair shop to finally install a new air conditioner in my…read more2006 Honda CRV. On a fixed income, I knew it would be a "pretty penny" and going to affect my summer budget. After five quotes in the Everett area, 1 a quick guess, three from looking up the cost from the " book" and one from a place I've used over the past few years who I knew was competent, but also on the high end of the cost scale. Fortunately, the last place, found online, was City Auto Repair. Not only was I impressed to see that it was owned and managed by a woman, but when I met Liz and finished hearing about how her company developed a quote, I was satisfied! She and Craig, the mechanic servicing my car, literally showed me all the old parts and explained exactly why they weren't working anymore and explained step by step how a new conditioner would operate. Then they gave me a quote and it was four hundred dollars less than the lowest of the quotes I had received. Three days later I drove home with working air, though this summer thus far hasn't required much of it yet. Kudos to Liz and Craig for their thorough, personal and very caring work. Kudos!

First it's the clutch and then oh by the way 'we didn't know' but it's your transmission...uh are you NOT a transmission shop? Do you specialize in this area? Okay fine..do it and I'll pay for it. I pick my car up (oh by the way a WEEK after it was promised) and drive it about 3 miles when I realize that my clutch is vibrating to the point where I can't drive it....bring it back and magically it's now the pressure plate. Replace that and I pick up my car and my front end sounds like it's going to fall off...so I GOT SMART and took it to another mechanic where they told me that AAMCO forgot to tighten my sway bar bolts. FORGOT! Nice work AAMCO. Classy job oh and yes I will mention this to every single person who asks my opinion and even ones that don't.

I have a busy schedule and having my car out of order was stressful so having an appointment available with a trusted shop gave me relief. The day of my appointment I came in and met Evelyn who is FANTASTIC! The technicians, Evelyn, and (I believe) Steve were all friendly, communicative, and transparent. Taking my car into the shop can be intimidating but Evelyn was so friendly and kind, I felt totally confident the crew would take care of me and my car. They thoroughly tested my car after making repairs to be certain there weren't any outstanding issues. They also were honest about what services I needed and didn't do unnecessary services just to charge me for them. Seriously, that kind of integrity and transparency in service is SO appreciated. They were willing to answer any questions I had, weren't rushing me, and made me feel like I was being taken care of by friends. Thank you to Evelyn and the whole crew for making sure I get through the winter safely!! You rock!
