My wife's 2006 Lexus GS was having trouble shifting between gears. I took it to a couple of repair and transmission shops. They recommended rebuilding or replacing the tranny. My son said he'd taken his cars to Krys and to let him take a look. Krys replaced a solenoid and changed the tranny fluid and the car is running awesome! Krys was great to work with and pricing was fair. I'd recommend Krys to friends and family. read more

Krys is an absolute lifesaver. My extremely rare Jeep Liberty diesel needed a new oil pan which the manufacture discontinued. After almost a year of scouring every junk yard in the country for a replacement, I'd almost come to the conclusion that the jeep would have to be parked until a part could become available. Way too late in the game, I decided to look on YouTube where some guy said that the existing pan could have a new & larger hole drilled in it. After 6 calls to mechanics telling me they could not do that...I found Krys. He took on the dirty task and did it perfectly the next day. I couldn't be more pleased with this professionalism and help to get me back on the road. I live a long way from his shop, but he's worth it...I'll be back next time the ol' Jeep needs some love. read more

A few months ago, I bought a 50-year-old Italian car. It was in pretty good shape, considering, but there's been a lot to diagnose, repair, and tune. Krys has been great. He points out that it's a simple car, but still... You can't just plug it into a computer and get a report; have to be experienced and listen. Nor can you get all the special tools used by factory mechanics long ago and far away; instead, you have to adapt or build new tools. I've been quite happy with his work, his advice, and his professionalism. I'll take him my ordinary cars, too. read more

Krys is incredibly detail oriented and honest. I have been going to him as my mechanic for the past year and have no complaints whatsoever. He has completed work on my car (98 MB turbodiesel) promptly and is transparent about all issues. I enjoy talking to him about cars as he has a wealth of knowledge. If you value your vehicle, Motortechnik is the place to go. read more

Krys has worked on our VW Vanagon for 14years +. He's kept the van in great mechanical shape over years. There's aways a question of when it's time to replace an older vehicle. However with Vanagons there can be a tight bond. With proper care can the van could hold it's value into the forseable future. Krys is the guy to help us do this. We've always trusted his advise, been impressed with his care and expertise. Recommended him to friends many times over the years. Now we'd like to do the same to you. If you have a vehicle that you love...needs love-send it to Krys. read more

Recommend by a friend. Krys delivers exceptional service. I have a 2002 Audi A4 Quattro, so lets face it, it needs regular service. Krys is pretty good at letting me know whats absolutely necessary and what's likely to come up. He really knows his stuff. I've tested him in the past in that I knew some things were off and didn't mention it to see if he properly tests the car, and he does. There are some limits to what he can do in his shop, but he can definitely cover the majority of work, so its my primary shop. It's a relatively small shop, but my car gets serviced quickly. read more

Krys was recommendet to my by my friends who swore that he is the best car mechanic in Seattle. I was using services from Midas and occasionally Honda dealer in Bellevue. It was expensive but close to me. And I thought it's good. But once after oil change all the oil leaked out just in front of my garage (they forget to put the washer on the plug...but never admitted!) I finally decided to drive the extra mile to Seattle and check out Motortechnik services. What a difference!!! You feel from the first moment that this guy actually cares for the car he is working at. Now I bring my cars for services and repair only to Krys for several years. He always did an excellent job! I highly recommend Motortechnik and the owner Krys to anyone in Seattle area. It is worth to drive an extra mile for this service! read more

Krys is a very honest and reliable mechanic. I have been using his services for almost two years on both of our cars. Krys was recommended to me by my coworker. I am very satisfied with the quality of work and fair prices. Krys takes extra time to diagnose the problem and gives honest opinions on what should be done. For instance, I brought my car in with a break problem (had occasional squeaks). He drove the car and tested the breaks and said I still have 20-30% life in them. I appreciate the honesty, because I know for a fact if I would have taken my car to a dealership or Good Year (been there, done it), they would not only change the brake pads by also tell me the rotors need to be changed. They always do that. I highly recommend Krys, and value his expertise, honesty and the quality of his work. read more

Chris is a very talented mechanic. My husband and I have been having him service our BMWs for years. He is strategic and honest.

I have been taking my foreign cars to Krys-the owner of Motortechnik, for almost ten years. Krys maintains a meticulously clean shop and does equally meticulous work. He has worked on two of my Toyotas and my VW Beetle. My family has been happy with his work as well. If I want to see the parts, I can see the parts. I have never been disappointed in his repairs. As a one man shop, you can be sure that you are shopping locally, with a person who really cares about great work on your car. read more

I have had my older Mercedes wagon service here for the last couple of years, including a major head gasket replacement. Krys is a good mechanic and I trust him. I took the time to write a review today because I stopped by with a brake pad wear light that was blinking and was told they look fine until my next oil change. No charge. When was the last time you left a mechanic's without spending any money - anyone? Repairing an older foreign car is never cheap, so don't expect half price or something, but I feel like I am only paying for work that is truly necessary. A German version of Warren at Larry's Volvo, another recommendation. read more

I have been taking my cars to Krys for the past 8 years. A bmw, range rover, land rover and mercedes. Krys has taken care of them all and provides excellent reliable service. He always makes time for our cars and we know that we will recieve excellent service. I have recommended him to friends and family with european cars. We would be lost with out Motortechnik and Krys so we hope others use him as much as we do. read more
