After striking out after several calls I tried his shop. Rick the owner, a vet, was awesome. I explained what my needs were and he tracked down the right tires for the van plus new wiper blades and better headlight bulbs. His waiting area is super comfy with couches, TV and a Kurig. As it turned out they got in the wrong wiper blades so while his guy was blasting out the tires, Rick drove out and got the right blades. In a messed up and sometimes indifferent world it was a pleasure to meet Rick and his shop. His prices are super fair and explained up front and i couldn't be happier with the experience. I would definitely recommend his shop for any of your auto repair needs. Me and my van is in much better shape thanks to Rick. Thanks!

Latch did not work, was told it was under a warranty but when we attempted to return the incorrect part (after having to have it replaced with a correct part at a different shop) would not allow return, got very short and angry after many attempts to return the part.

They said the previous shop that was aware of the issue (that I chose to ignore) should've told me the issue could grow worse with neglect.

I called back initially the following day. The front desk associate claimed she hadn't requested it yet due to being busy. I expressed that I was on a time crunch since Carvana has a 7 day return policy and I needed to lock in a repair day before that 7th day. I never received any follow up. I think that Pete Lea's Automotive Medical Center could do a better job communicating to a new customer, especially with the rates they are charging. $213.00 for a PPI that is a dealership rate without the dealership experience.

Fortunately we had an electronic tire pump, so we were able to get to a tire place. I picked Gary's based on reviews and location. I was beyond impressed! They were friendly as heck and had our car in and out in about 25 minutes. We just took the dogs and walked over to a nearby coffee shop and had some coffee. We walked back and the car was done! And it was a good job--we went on to check out many places from Evergreen State to Point Defiance in Tacoma, feeling safe and secure the whole time. We are back home and all is dandy. I HIGHLY recommend Gary's for personal, friendly, and FAST work. Now I need to make those cookies I promised them...and send them! Oh--and there was no charge! Hence the promise of homemade shortbread cookies!

The…read morestaff are all extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, they listen to you! The prices are fantastic! I went in with a nail in my tire, and they repaired it within 30 minutes. I was originally quoted $30, but when I tried to pay, I was waved away. A big fear with auto repair places is that they will try to take advantage of you with unnecessary repairs, hidden fees, or overcharging services, especially for women. That is NOT the case for this place! I will absolutely be coming back for any and all service my car will need in the future, and when it is time to replace my tires, I'll be back here as well!

I've now taken my 2014 BMW 535d to Larsen's Auto Repair a couple of times, and they've earned my…read moretrust. Most recently, I brought the car in after another shop told me I needed rear brakes, calipers, and suspension work totaling a pretty significant bill. Larsen's took the time to actually inspect everything and gave me a much more accurate picture. They confirmed the rear brakes were still in good shape (around 10mm), the control arm bushings were fine, and none of that additional work was needed right now. That kind of honesty is rare. They previously handled my front brake service, and everything was done right, no issues since. This time they also completed an alignment and oil service, both at fair prices. Mark was especially helpful throughout the process. He clearly explained what was actually needed versus what could wait, and didn't try to upsell anything. I never felt rushed or pressured, just informed. Bonus points to him since he's a fellow Atlanta Braves fan! If you're looking for a shop that will diagnose correctly, communicate clearly, and not recommend unnecessary work, Larsen's is a solid choice, especially if you have a BMW or higher-mileage vehicle and want straightforward, trustworthy guidance.

Can you believe that? What a deal! Anyway I showed up first thing in the morning and they were already at work. I sat in the waiting room and they let us have the remote so we can pick whatever show we felt like and time went fast because I was only there for 30 minutes. While we were waiting I enjoyed the coffee from their Keurig. I handed the guy my punchcard and they marked off two oil changes, since they had given me full synthetic. I didn't know the difference and the guy who checked me in was a mechanic and not the regular office guy, so that's where the mistake was. That's okay though, lesson learned- make sure to ask for the synthetic blend. The punchcard lasts for two years, so I'm gonna get one for each of my cars because who can beat that deal?
