Its probably been over a year since then. Yesterday, I limped into town on a flat tire. I needed to make it to Costco for warranty repair, and the tire couldn't hold air. I asked if they could help me fill it. A wonderful man named John popped the tire off, took it in the shop, proceeded to plug it and inflate it, and pop it back on. Wouldn't let me pay for his help. I drove away with happy tears, knowing my toddler and I would safely make it to lake Stevens. We wouldn't have made it without his help. Thank you, John. The impact you made on me, and my day, was bigger than you realize.

My first experience with Blockers was last year. We have a 2002 Lexus that had not been driven for…read morea couple of years. Our request was to look it over and make sure the car was safe and road ready. They could have told us any number of things needed replaced, repaired or serviced. In the end it was all the things you'd expect new battery, brakes, fluid(s) and oil. This past week I took my 2011 Mercedes in for B Service. I'll never return to the dealership!! Also last week, the 2002 Lexus had a minor repair plus new starter installed. Trust me. When the mechanic says the starter is going and needs replacement, just do it! In the end it will save you a tow bill. Jaren's communication, customer service, and integrity are solid. If you're looking for a new mechanic, call Blockers.

I really appreciated how stress-free they made the whole experience. I even made my next appointment on time. Highly recommend Blocker's if you ever find yourself in a jam on the road. Honest, fast, and dependable service!

The last 4 times I went there I waited in the lobby for so many hours. If I had known it would be that long I would have went home. The last time was 5 and a half hours in the lobby! I tried to go home at hour 3 and was asked to stay (telling me it would be soon.) The prices have really gone up. He wouldn't charge me to look at it so I thought I was getting a good deal but with the high pricing it made up for it. Several hundred dollars cheaper at other places when I called around. I got an oil change here and I made an appointment for it. I waited 3 and a half hours in the lobby and it cost a little over 100$. I mentioned I was feeling the transmission slipping and was told they would take a look at it. At checkout they said nothing, I asked them about it and another 20 minutes later they came back and said it was fine maybe I could get a tune up soon. I brought it in again a few weeks later still with the transmission slipping. They said they found a sensor out and a few other things. I paid a little over 1000$ two separate times within 3 months. Each time I asked is it worth it, to fix it? What about the transmission? I got round about answers and was told fixing it was a good option. Now after putting almost 4000$ into it within a year my transmission needs to be replaced and I can't afford to fix it or get another vehicle! I don't have words for how I feel about that. I really trusted Adrian and so I trusted his crew and I feel like they really let me down and put me in a bad spot. I'm a single mom and I needed the honesty and care I had gotten from Adrian at the beginning but I guess things change.
