Engine tune up on our 2012 Scion Xb. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Fair price I think. Will be back.

I was extremely impressed with the service I received at Michael's. The service was very professional as the team was able to identify the exact issue that needed a resolution and resolved the issue within 24 hours. They fixed exactly what needed to be fixed without any discussion of additional things not needed. I was very impressed with the honesty and professionalism that was shown throughout. Furthermore, the final charges actually were less than the estimate given initially as they were able to acquire the parts for cheaper. When do you ever encounter this nowadays! I very much appreciate the great service. read more

They did a nice job of caring for our newly purchased used car, which needed brakes. It is greatly appreciated!

My husband brought his car here for some transmission work. Was done fast and the price was actually lower than we thought it'd be. We've only been here the one time but we will be back. Hard to find mechanics that you can trust. Neither my husband or I know much about cars (yup, we're not car people, lol) so when you can find a good mechanic make sure to keep that in your back pocket because you will need it. Also, any garage that has a pup is a plus! read more

The service I requested was performed with a very high labor charge. After spending over $1,500, I picked my car up only to find that the entire car was dappled with tree sap! It was parked beneath trees! Michael's obviously knew because someone had attempted to use the wind shield wipers to remove it from windshield, which smeared it across the glass and messed up my wipers! I called and was told to bring it back in a week and they'd clean it up. Not okay! I now need new wiper blades, spent my own time and money to purchase "sap remover" which took over 2 hours. Not customer-centric. Will not refer them any longer! read more

Highly recommend this place! I am a female in my twenties and its hard knowing who to trust in the car business and I am always worried I am being taken advantage of. I never felt that way at Michaels. All the suggested repairs were explained thoroughly and with photos. I felt that I could trust them with the work they suggested and when I picked up my car I had a great conversation with the gentleman at the desk who made me feel even more like the work Michaels provides is truly the best. I will be back, hopefully not soon :), but once something does happen, I will. I am also recommending to all my friends and family as well. read more

Michael takes care of our imported cars ( Subaru and Honda in the past, Mini Cooper now) and I just can say good things about the quality of the services, fair price and honesty. A couple of years ago my Mini had a problem and I took to Mini store and they told me that it was the gear box and clutch ( offering to accept my car if I decided to buy a new one - of course)...I took my Mini Cooper to Michael and it was just a bad spark plug.... read more

Michael's Auto Repair - Waiting room - Auto Repair Near Me - Redmond, Washington

The multi-spot inspection report is not reliable here. I always do the inspection during oil change. For two times in a year, they provided report which had wrong info. Last October, they didn't even fix the low tire pressure issue, even though there's alert on the dashboard. This year, they didn't found the battery and AC issue. The AC doesn't work at all. The battery just run out, and I used a jump start to start my car. I have been here for any car issues since I moved here 4 years ago. I wasn't aware that they didn't do inspection as this service has promised, until there are real issues but they didn't report. I think all of you should be aware about the reliability of their services. read more

Its been a long time since I've needed a mechanic. But my HVAC system wasn't working properly and I had a small leak from somewhere. Anyway, I dropped my car off at 7:30am. The nice gentleman at the front desk, Kerry I think his name was, quoted me a cost that was much less than I was anticipating. when my car was done, within a few hours, my final cost was even less than he quoted me. The staff was very friendly and didn't try to upsell me or take advantage of me being a female (I've experienced this in the past) will be taking my cars here in the future! read more

Has been continually reliable. And has gone above and beyond to find ways to save me money. I really cannot recommend Michael's enough.

Mike has always been extremely reliable and very honest. This time my brakes were a little squeaky so I took it in thinking I need new brakes. When I went to pick it up, not only did I not need new brakes, but they did a warranty with brake pads and fixed the rotors, at no charge! They are so honest, friendly, and reasonably priced. I recommend them highly! 10 stars. read more

I wanted to try an independent shop. As the prices I was quoted from the dealer seamed very high. I told this to the guy when I checked the car in. But when he texted me with a quote , it was 30% higher then the dealer. I do not see the point to go to an independent mechanic if their is no saving in it. Several friends told me say save about 50%-30%when they go to an independent. These guys are higher read more

Honest, fair prices; really nice folks, and a sweet dog... my new mechanics. Just found out they raced winning high-performance vehicles for years!?! What better rep for knowing how to accurately ID probs in other ppl's cars?! Ethical owners and totally skilled mechanics.... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this family-owned biz!!! read more

Great service. It's hard to get repairs done in a short time right now with supplies. I appreciated that they were quick and gave me an accurate bid. read more

They are fast, proficient, and professional! We loved working with them and had a quote right away. We also got our truck fixed the same day and the price was lower than excepted! Tanya was so helpful and kept us updated! We even got the that darn engine light finally fixed! I highly recommend them and totally trust them with :) read more

I have used Michaels Auto Repair twice now. Recently had an overheating problem. Michaels got my truck in quickly, diagnosed the problem and gave me a reasonable and accurate estimate for replacement water pump and timing belt. The truck was back to me within 2 days. I asked about some future potential work on my truck and Kerry took the time to give me good advice about brake upgrades and transmission servicing. I trust these folks to give me advice of how to best take care of my truck without breaking the bank. Michaels is a top notch operation. I highly recommend. read more

Outstanding service and a very friendly staff. I brought my car in to have the headlight bulbs replaced but while the car was there it encountered another issue that left it unable to be driven. Michael and his team went above and beyond to expeditiously fix the issue with the ignition lock cylinder. He returned the car to me much faster than I was expecting and he even put a new battery in my key fob. The staff did a great job of being transparent and keeping me in the loop every step of the way. I highly recommend Michael's Auto Repair! read more

Took my car in to get my low lights replaced because they were quite dim, and they also replaced my high beams- without checking with me first. I feel like this should have been confirmed before they did this as my high beams were fine, and I was charged for this. Additionally, my headlights were fine when I left. However, by the next evening they were dim again. Clearly, there was some sort of electrical issue (or something similar) that they missed, which is understandable. However, I would be charged full price to bring this back in and have this fixed again. read more

My vehicle had chronic issues with the headlight which my regular shop kept dismissing as too expensive to diagnose for an old car. Our of frustration of having to change the headlight bulb every month I took my vehicle to Michael's. They promptly identified it as corroded contacts and fixed it. I had to call more than once to figure out whether my vehicle can be picked up. So communication is a bit strained. Workmanship 10/10 read more

This place charges too much just to look at your car and diagnose it. And it appears the owner is the mechanic but he isn't. He has two non ASE certified techs doing auto repairs. Rude and over priced I went to Issaquah and had my car repaired and a much better price. read more

There was an oil leak in my Honda Odyssey. They did a great job fixing it at a very competitive price. Thanks for the excellent work!!

Over charged for the work they did, parts markup was not reasonable, charged me for inexperienced labor for what should have been near half the cost, they were friendly and communicated but overcharged for replacing u joints and a hub assembly, mechanics that are used to dealing with older vehicles could have done the job in less than the 17 hrs of labor, but did cut me a deal and only charged 14 hrs... read more

Update: I took the car to the dealership. They hooked it up to the manufacturer's diagnostic tool and immediately found a faulty brake light switch on the brake pedal. It was sending faulty inputs to both the ABS brake control unit and the electronic throttle control unit. They replaced the switch and burned the latest factory firmware to those programmable control modules. $300 later, both problems fixed. That's way better than spending $1,500 replacing good parts with fingers crossed in hopes of a fix! read more

Best auto repair shop I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Michael is awesome and the whole staff is friendly and hard working. I take every one of my vehicles here and recommend them to all. Repeat customer for 2 years now! read more

This is such a great auto shop. Their customer service is outstanding! Shout out to Tanya and Kerry for getting my 16 year old daughters car in right way and making sure that the issue was resolved and the car was safe for her to drive. I'll be using them in the future for all my family's cars. Excellent! read more

You don't really appreciate how great Michael's is until you go somewhere else. Michaels isn't near home or work, so sometimes I get lazy and get an oil change at another shop near my office. When my headlight went out they said I needed a new igniter and ballast, over $800 - I passed on that. So a few weeks later my car barely starts and I figure its the battery which I got at Michaels, they get me in same day to get it tested. Battery was fine but the starter was going. Michael mentions the headlight, says its likely just the igniter and gives me a quote less than half the other shop. So I get both the starter and igniter replaced and thanks to Michael skipped getting a ballast I didn't need. Bottom line this is an honest shop, everything has been fixed right the first time, and their communication is great. read more

I've taken my car in a few times for general seasonal inspections and I just love Michael's. The staff is very friendly and they'll sit down with you to explain everything your car needs or doesn't need. They make me feel like no question is too silly which is great because I know nothing about cars. My car is getting up there in years and I think it would be easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of work it needs but Michael has broken it down into categories of "urgent", "wait a few months", "wait a little longer" which is awesome. So far, Michael's timeline has been spot on for me. Also, this is random but important (I think): Michael's put in the very best windshield wipers I've had in ten years. Seriously. I was scared about finding a new place to take my car into when I moved to Redmond and am so grateful I found Michael's. read more

As a single woman I feel like I have a target on my head when I walk into a car repair shop. But not at Michaels! This place is awesome! Personable, family owned and operated, good old fashioned customer service. The best part is I TRUST them! Mike, Wilma and Tessa are all wonderful to deal with and I feel right at home every time I walk in the door. They may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for, right? I highly recommend Michaels Auto Repair to everyone and especially single women like me who don't want to worry about being taken advantage of when it comes to car maintenance and repair costs. read more

I was referred to Michael's Auto Repair from a friend, so I had high expectations going into my appointment this morning. I'm happy to say that I couldn't have asked for better service and an overall experience! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an honest place to go. Thanks again, Jewels. read more

I bought my 16yo daughter a 2006 VW Beetle after the headlights started to cut off. Took it to another shop who gave me a quote for more than $1000 to replace the headlight assemblies. I took it to Michael's and they were able to repair the headlight assembly mounting bracket and wiring harness so the lights would seat properly and function. Total cost for the repair... $112 While waiting for the car to be finished up and sitting in the waiting area I found many others that feel Michael's is one of or the best auto repair shop in the area. I was referred to them by a friend that says he has been using Michael's for 15 years for after warranty work. While I was there...an owner with a newer (still under warranty) still chose to have Michael's do some work on his car. Highly recommended. read more

First time at Michael's today to service my SUV. Great experience from scheduling an appointment that was convenient for me to picking up the car. Very friendly, honest with diagnostic, not trying to sell you something. Thanks! read more

I wish I could give less than 1 star. My car ran over the water log and the metal and plastic cover from the bottom came off and needed a new one. I called them initially and sent the pictures of the part, they needed me to get the car in to order the right parts but initially quoted me $229 including parts and labor based on the pictures shared earlier. Dropped off the vehicle later and they kept it all day and gave me a quote of $415 for the same parts + some additional bolts which take about $20. I declined to get the parts ordered and was charged $81, Never in any of my conversations was I told that there is a charge to inspect and that too at this extent. Would never recommend it to anyone and expect them to be more transparent about their prices. read more

Michael's did a really good job on my Toyota 4Runner repairs. They addressed all of my concerns and requests in a timely manner. I really appreciated their professional communication style and I feel like I received fair prices for all of the work. read more

Michaels always does excellent work for me. I have recommended his shop's services to several friends already, as he as proven to be trustworthy and fair. Furthermore, the mechanics are always patient and happy to explain issues with my car in a way that I can comprehend, helping me to make good decisions that relate to repairs and the car's overall maintenance. PS, having a cute dog hanging around the shop is always a plus! read more

Still one of the best shops in Redmond. Been here so many times not sure how I'd feel walking into a different shop. They stand behind their work 100%. Been going here for years and will continue for many more years. read more

I don't necessarily have anything bad to say but you should know they charge $85 for an oil change....JUST an oil change. Granted I didn't ask how much when I made my appt(because I've never paid more than $40-$50 max) but I feel like that's something they should have disclosed when I told them I own a Ford- not a foreign car or something that requires the bells and whistles. Ridiculous read more

We love Wilma and Michael! They are honest, hardworking individuals who own a very reputable auto mechanic (not something you find every day!!). They will take care of all of your car needs from oil changes to more complex things. You can trust them with your car. Strongly recommend!! read more

So my daughter let me know she had a burnout headlight today. Apparently it's been burnt out for 2 weeks. (I was just told today lol) Tonya answered when I called and got her in the same day right when she got out of school and let me handle the payment over the phone. Fair price. Great service. Thank you to Tonya and Michael's Auto Repair. - The Dad :) read more

Still a fan...I had to get some window work done and kudos to Michael for helping me stay within my budget. The work was done quickly, updates were called in to me as needed, and thankfully, I can finally go to drive thru's again! read more

By my profession, I moved five different states last 19 years. Every time I moved, I always had a difficult time to find the right barber (or hair stylist), a vet (for my dog) and a trustworthy auto mechanic. All the trust and relationship that I established with them, I had to start all over with new people every time I moved. I believe that, at least, my search is over for finding the right auto mechanic for my cars until I will move again. I am a very inquisitive person and a tester & verification engineer by my profession. When my car was in need for an expensive repair, Michael, the shop owner, explained to me what the necessary things I should have them fix and what options I have. Not only just for saving money sake, I can trust him and his shop people. From my experience with Michael's, the only necessary right fix was applied and done correctly. His should be in "Cartalk"s recommended shop list! Thanks to Michael and his team! * Service: Excellent (Owner will call you and answer your questions step by step if necessary) * Price: They are not the cheapest but reasonable * Pick up and shuttle service: They do not provide a loaner car but they will pick you up and drop you off at your desire location while your car is being serviced. They also do not arrange rental car for you. * Avoid factor: Remember their business hours. They don't operate on Friday and weekends * Recommendation: Please do talk to Michael directly. He will explain to you very well about your car issue. read more
