My car started making this noise, it was like "SCREEEEE...!" I turned the radio down to hear it,…read moreand then, scared, I turned the radio up louder so I wouldn't have to hear it. Finally, the noise got more and more frequent and I decided I just couldn't ignore it any longer. I'd have to find a mechanic. But, you know mechanics. I didn't want one who would rip me off. So, I turned to Yelp. Thank you, Yelp! Doug diagnosed that scary noise as my brake caliper (unfortunately), and showed me exactly how it was causing my brake pad to wear down unevenly. Then he got to work fixing my car. In the meantime, I called my father on the east coast (who listens to Car Talk), he agreed with the diagnosis and thought Doug was charging me a fair price for brake caliper replacement and a brake fluid flush. While he had my car, Doug did a full safety inspection which gave me peace of mind that when I drove out of there, my car was in great working order and Doug even gave me some tips for things like my next oil change. All in all, I felt like not only did I get my car repaired at Simply Auto, I found a mechanic I can trust in Doug and a place that I know that I can go back to the next time I have a problem. And that's a pretty valuable thing.

Had an inspection done on my suspension and an oil change with Tony Buck a few weeks ago. I was…read morecalled a few hours later and he suggested I replace the backing plate and new struts. When I got my car back I noticed that some of the things that I asked for were not done and I was still being charged $69. On the paperwork Tony put in the wrong oil when I confronted him about it he acknowledged that he didnt do the things I ask and then refunded some of the money. As for the oil change which cost $98, he says the paper is wrong and he did the oil change. But he never reset the computer..still says 50% oil and never put a "next service date" sticker. So how am I suppose to believe him. As for the struts he kept pulling up something that wouldn't even fit on my car. Also during that time he repositioned my license plate without my consent to the center when I like mine on the left side. I kept calling to speak with the owner, Doug and Tony always answers and tells me he isn't available. I'm writing this review to let everyone know that this mechanic is not knowledgeable or trustworthy. I will not be bringing my car back to this place.

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

So, this mechanic's way of doing a "free break inspection" was taking my vehicle out for a 30 min "test drive", and when he finally came back, he told me I needed all 4 brakes and 4 rotors costing $1,700. He never even put my vehicle up to remove the tires, so how did he know for sure? I went to leave, hopped in my truck, and according to my gas tank, he had driven at least 20 MILES. I was in shock.

He also helped me understand why the rear sway bar link might have been broken prior to our buying the car when it was towed, which may help me get the repair covered by the dealer. His prices were consistent with the other shop but he topped off my coolant as well, which the other shop wanted to charge for. All of this to say this experience at Jun's was a blessing. Grateful to support a local, high quality, professional business that takes pride in the excellent work and service they provide. Truly a rare find! Thank you!
