Love these guys! I have been going to Eastside Bavarian for years. They are a great compliment to…read moreme, the cheapskate backyard DIY garage mechanic wanna be that drives expensive to maintain cars that aren't always within my skill level to maintain! No funny business here. Just straight shooters. They tell me what is going wrong, they charge fair rates for reliable trustworthy services. Is the cost more than I want to spend, and borderline high? Of course! but who doesn't have high labor and parts prices when providing outstanding service on finicky vehicles? In the end they understand me and my cars. they do the big stuff, and take pictures and give me parts numbers for the things I can do myself. What more can a car guy ask for? How about more free stuff guys? Oh well. I tried!

Team was super professional and communicative here. Had the problem fixed quickly and it was cheaper than they had quoted me. Also appreciated the level of detail they provide when an issue is found, pesky rats had chewed through some wires and the team provided clear pictures of the damage prior to repair. Glad I trusted Eastside Bavarian with this work will be going here for all my Mini's needs!

Glenn…read moreis friendly and happy to chat with you about your needs and provide appropriate recommendations! I was a bit nervous as these repairs almost never come cheap and pulling on one string can let things unravel quickly. Fortunately they provided recommendations to help me get some of the service records which made things a little more clear and made it easier for me to make decisions on which repairs could wait and what needed to be fixed right away. Big blue (my 03 MV) had a lot of work that needed to be done and Glenn and his team were up for the task; even making sure that they put aside impossible to find parts for me! I will update my review with more information as I drive my baby around and test out all the changes the team made! Thanks!

Do not use this place if you're in a hurry. My van was at Eastside Autoworks for SIX months. I…read moredropped it off in early March and picked it up mid August. They knew I wasn't in a hurry and they took advantage of my patience because hey, we're all struggling with covid-19. I took my 2002 VW Eurovan in to fix it up before I put it on the market. They gave me an estimate on their recommendations hat would cover a variety of basic maintenance issues in addition to my own list of known problems. One of those recommendations was replacing the front brakes. The only problem with the brakes is I had them done in December of 2019. Oh I have so many questions about this! I gave the potential buyer of my van permission to call Glen and talk to her about the work they recently completed. He managed to torpedo the sale by telling her a long list of MUST do repairs before she took it on a road trip. These repairs added up to over $12K. Some of this work I would have done myself if he had recommended them to me earlier. I mean that IS why I brought the car in, to take care of these issues before I sold it. So who is Glen jerking around? In addition to scarring her off with the long list of repairs still to be made, he tried to sell her a lot of van conversion upgrades. Pretty sure Glen is only interested in maximizing his bottom line no matter what the cost to his customer. Also one last note, don't bother calling him unless you have 30-40 minutes to waste. The man never stops talking.

Today I completed the purchase of a 2023 BMW iX xDrive50 from Landmark Motors. Throughout the…read moreentire process I worked with Garrett Creal, the sales manager, who was knowledgeable, straightforward, and refreshingly candid about both the benefits and drawbacks of the different vehicles we discussed. The entire experience was relaxed and professional. I never encountered the typical "salesperson" routine. Even the negotiation process often drawn out while someone "checks with the manager" was handled efficiently and wrapped up in just a few minutes. Josh Withey, the finance manager, was equally impressive. The final paperwork process was quick and organized, very different from some of my past dealership experiences. I also appreciated that there was no pressure to purchase add-ons such as extended warranties or ceramic coatings. Because the decision was left entirely to me, I felt comfortable taking the time to consider my options and ultimately chose to add both. Based on my experience with these two gentlemen, I would highly recommend starting your vehicle search at Landmark Motors. Five stars!

I've lived long enough to regret a few car buying transactions in my time, but this one was fantastic. Boen and Stephen are a great team and were unwaveringly enthusiastic, patient, informative, helpful, clear, and reasonable. I am really happy with my purchase - the car is a slam dunk. And the deal, support, and experience couldn't have been better. Call Boen (sounds like "Bowen") when you want to find the next car. That guy is the goods.

We have been having minor leaks on the coolant and oil so we asked them to check it out and let us know. Rear coolant flange ($465) and Oil Cam seals ($750) was the prognostication. Told them no, we'd add a little oil and coolent and get it fixed later. I picked up the car and was charge $145 more for an hour of analyses. "Oh yea, you better get it fixed pretty soon", but we have it all topped off. I barely made it home... I guess if you don't let them work on your car, they feel obligated to break it for the next guy. A new rubbing on the belt and screaming under the hood, steam pooring out for most of the three mile drive home; it was a nightmare. Almost no coolent left in the system... I am scared to death to see how much oil I will have in a puddle under the car, from their examination of the seals. Stay away from this outfit... you can bet we will. We love the car, but Barrier Audi --- yuck.

I was told on 7 separate occasions that my car "should be ready by X day." I felt frustrated as I…read morewas told that the repair would take no more than 5 weeks. It took them 8 weeks and 2 days to complete repairs. I could have had my vehicle back in 4 weeks had I gone with a Porsche Certified shop such as Haury's. This shop is high density, not high volume. Overpromising, underdelivering, lies. 1. I was told that parts were 3-4 days out. It took 13 days for the parts to arrive. They said that a door latch cable was out of stock. On 12/29, I ordered the door latch cable. Part arrived 1/16 and they refused to install it. They kept me waiting until on 2/8. I called their vendor (Porsche Larson) and the vendor had the part in stock the entire time. They lied to me. 4 WA State Porsche dealers had that door latch cable in stock. NO supply chain issues, only lies from my SA Challan Kershaw. 2. With parts and approved payment on a $14.1k insurance repair, I expected a no-delay situation from 1/16 (part delivery date) - 1/22 (paint start date), and a no-delay situation from 2/7 (build completion date) to 2/12 (alignment date) 3. Until 2/1, they did not attempt to pick up the pace of repairs. On 1/31, Challan Kershaw told me that they devote 17.3 hours of build time to each car per week and that because my car required 44.8 hours of body labor -- reassembly would take at least three more weeks. After my phone call with Production Manager Kyle Emmerich, it took them 3 days (2/5 to 2/7) to complete 44.8 hours of body labor -- NOT 3 weeks. They only started to "care" once I started calling them daily about the deadlines and commitments they offered months prior. I had to cancel three road trips. At the end of the repair, they waited an additional (and unnecessary) three weeks to install the insurance-approved PPF/ "clear bra" which put my trip to Canada in jeopardy, and delayed pickup once more. 4. My car battery was damaged from storage and lack of normal vehicle use. The battery was tested by a Porsche dealer and was noted as being in excellent health 35 days before drop off at Bel-Red Auto. The battery should have been placed on an OEM trickle charger during the 65 days that it was at Bel-Red. They could have billed insurance for the use of a trickle charger instead of destroying a battery. If insurance had declined the use of a trickle charger (unlikely) Porsche would have sent an authorized service provider to jump the car (under warranty) or tow the vehicle to an authorized service provider. 5. I had to have a new battery programmed and installed by Porsche Bellevue (consequential damage/$920.00). 6. One of my carbon fiber side blades was improperly installed - the front-driver-side-door blade is falling off. They destroyed my door control module. The module clip had been ripped off/a new door control module had to be installed by Porsche Bellevue. Unacceptable for a shop to make a series of negligent mistakes over 2 months. 7. They have become complacent. They are no where near the "best" body shop in Bellevue. You're as good as your last job & your credibility is as genuine as your last lie. If your service is awful and you can not fulfill a promise, no one cares if you have been in business for 41 years. 8. People do not have the patience to deal with being told that their car should be ready by X day on 7 separate occasions, or for a repair to take twice as long 9. I felt deceived and disrespected - my age should have had nothing to do with my car's repair process or status. Being told by Challan Kershaw on four separate occasions, "Well I know you're young but..." is condescending, demeaning, and ageist. They are passive-aggressive and hostile once you point out their bullshit. Recommend Metro Auto Rebuild, Haury's Collision, or an out-of-state shop.

MCLEOD AUTO BODY @ KIRKLAND…read more I came in on Monday just to see if it was possible to replace my front grille with a different one. I had already purchased the grille myself, so all I needed was the labor for installation. As soon as I arrived, the front staff were incredibly friendly, and a technician came out to give me an estimate. He grabbed my VIN number, did some quick research, and walked me through the labor required for the service. The entire estimate process only took a few minutes. The original quote for replacing the grille was $270, and since I'm a student, I politely asked if there was any possibility of a student discount. He immediately knocked $40 off, bringing my total to about $230, which was amazing. He was very confident and clear about the work that would be done, and they even had availability within the next two days. I came back in on Wednesday, and the process took about three to four hours. I picked up my car a little later, and the new grille looks absolutely incredible. Overall, the staff were super friendly, and I loved how close the shop is to downtown Kirkland while still being tucked away in a quieter neighborhood. You definitely have to check this place out, it's an incredible spot. The team is welcoming, professional, and honestly, it feels like they can do just about anything here!

The shop communicated efficiently with the at-fault's insurance company, and Katie at the front desk is magnificent, always answering the phone in a timely manner if we had any questions or followups. Mark came out to address our concerns with the paint not matching upon pick-up day, and he took it back to fix with polite can-do's, which really put us at ease. He even offered to replace the black reflector piece that got scratched (possibly during installation), and we really appreciate that gesture too. Second attempt paint match was much better, and it's like-new! They give you a paint sample for DIY touch-ups if you ever need it. I can't say anything about their value because our insurance did not pay for it. Happy to recommend this shop to anyone because their attitude is excellent and makes them easy to work with.
