I live on Vashon Island and absolutely love it, but the biggest challenge I face is getting my…read morewheelchair van serviced quickly. If my van isn't running, neither am I. On a whim, I took a chance on Defiance Auto after finding him on Yelp in Ruston -- a young MOBILE MECHANIC. The gods must've been smiling, because he turned out to be polite, efficient, knowledgeable, and even took the time to research my unusual issue. Hands down, he's the best mechanic I've ever worked with. His prices were more than fair, too. This young man makes thirty veteran mechanics look like Goober Pyle from Mayberry. All I can say is, "Goooooolllllleeee!" Give this hardworking guy a try. You will not regret it. He will come to Vashon. his name is Mick Svoboda of Defiance Auto (253) 999-8531 Defianceautoworks.com

It's rare to find a quality shop open on weekends these days. While I waited in their comfy lobby, I actually enjoyed chatting with the team. It felt more like catching up with friends than sitting in a mechanic's lobby. They are 100% transparent. Brandon only noted a repair I already knew was coming up and never pressured me to spend more. They truly love what they do and care about their clients. Definitely turning into a regular here!

So I took my…read more2007 Avalanche in to be serviced in 2023, was told it's a collapsed lifter, asked to have it fixed and they worked on it for over a week and finally said it was in need of a new motor; they couldn't get the oil pressure to reach that one one cylinder. I was told "they wouldn't charge me for that work and if sucked they had put so much resources and time into it." Well they got the new engine and installed it within my truck, some weeks later I took it back because my driveway was riddled with oil leaks and I was told it was a transmission leak which they charged me to fix. Well it continued leaking but due to trusting in Larry and his team from previous experiences I just assumed they did an inspection and all was good. Well after two years of it....had someone that owns an avalanche truck ask me last week about my truck and I gave him the spill on its leaking oil I know but with receipts and being told it's not, I think it is. He looked at it and being an airplane mechanic for commercial airlines, he examined with his eyes and quickly pointed out the oil gasket seal looks to be the root cause of oil literally being sprayed along the entire undercarriage of my truck. He took a zip tie and was able to slide it with ease into a space. Well lo and behold, he offers to fix it because he previously fixed his own and I helped... guess what.... The gasket was improperly installed and in fact the main cause of my oil leak. Well sad to say, because they overlooked it, my truck is back to tapping like it was before they attempted to fix the lifters and installed the engine. Sadly, I played over 5k for a replaced engine to have it possibly needing to be replaced again two years later because of a lapse in quality control of $25-$30 oil pan gasket cover. I did call them yesterday and mentioned pricing for labor and parts to replace an oil pan gasket and it's 600.00 excluding tax. This guy installed it with my minimal help and after laying cardboard underneath my truck... not one drop of oil from it sitting all night. Really disappointed and I understand mistakes happen, but I kept calling and telling them it was an oil leak and being the "professionals" and with such good previous experiences with them.. I assumed they knew best. Now I'm kicking myself that I didn't take it to someone else for a second inspection years ago.

Brought in my elderly Volvo which had 1 cylinder not firing. They took notes on what I had checked…read more They said they'd check it out and wouldn't do repairs over $250 (I knew the problem was bigger than that!). They gave a detailed diagnosis with photos on their website, giving me time to think through what to do and what to defer. Their prices for the individual repairs were in line with what I saw online. After the repairs, the car ran well but by the time I got home the check engine light was on (different code). They took it right back, diagnosed the issue, and fixed it no charge, pleasantly. Not a problem since. These guys are good, and if they mess up, give them a chance to make it right. I am glad I found them, and will be a repeat customer.
