    Checking for leaks - he found a connection that was loose and worn, which was not caught at the dealership.

    I have hesitated to leave a review for Michael as I have the fear that he will get too busy :). I bought a used Land Cruiser from a somewhat deceiving car dealership - as a mom of two teens, I wanted something safe and reliable. The car has (unfortunately) needed multiple repairs since, and Michael has been responsive, kind to my kids, funny and calming - one time I called him while driving with my son to his baseball game, crossing Snoqualmie Pass, at night - and he walked me through checking to see that the sound I was hearing meant the car was safe to drive. I was so grateful! Today, he came to check on a leak I noticed under the car. Here he is, crawling under the hood to check every last thing that could be wrong. He also figured out how to get my sunroof to close completely, right then, just because I mentioned that it seemed like air was blowing in. I feel that I have a trustworthy, intelligent and dependable person to call anytime I need car help, and as a single parent who knows nothing about car repairs, this is beyond appreciated!! His prices are also ALWAYS well below the dealership because he is fair and honest. Thank you, Michael!

    If you want your money to disappear without a trace, look no further. I approached R&K Automotive with the hope of professional and reliable service. However, after paying over $4,000, the essential repairs I was charged for were not completed as agreed upon. Attempts to seek clarity and resolve the matter have been met with noncommittal responses and unacceptable delays He had my car for 2 months to attach parts sold to me at a 200% mark up that were never used, a hood attached via zip ties, and a demand for another $2,000! Promises from Michael are like cars on blocks -- going nowhere fast. His grand finale was a threat to sue me for "false definition of character" because I left him a bad review on Google. If you choose this business, I advise caution. Ensure that all agreements and estimates are documented in writing to avoid the difficulties I have encountered.

    On 4/30/26, I brought in my 2016 BMW X5 for a free AAA inspection. They advised me to complete a…read morelist of services totaling $3,832.41, and I trusted them and had the following services done: cabin filter replacement, full oil change, spark plugs & ignition coil replacement, platinum fuel/air induction, automatic remission flush service, differential service (front and rear), transfer case, and brake system flush. I also attached my invoice if you're interested. On 6/1/26 (about a month later), I noticed a burning rubber smell and smoke coming out of the hood of my car, so I brought my car back on 6/3/26. They diagnosed a stage 4-5 oil leak from the valve cover area that was leaking onto the exhaust, and they quoted another $1,606.45 to replace the valve cover with an aftermarket part (URO aka a lower quality part). I asked Grant if this leak could have been missed during the initial inspection, since the leak was serious enough to cause visible smoke and seemed unlikely to develop out of nowhere in such a short distance. He had replied he doesn't have an 8 ball and can't read into the future, and that it was normal wear and tear. During my initial inspection, they knew my car was hitting 10 years and asked me to replace and service all the other stuff totaling almost $4k but not the one part that would leak 1 month later? Sure, you can't predict the future, but how likely is it for a valve cover to completely crack and cause a Stage 4-5 oil leak onto my exhaust after 700 more miles? Another thing that really concerns me: Grant's findings report stated that I had returned for an engine oil leak inspection "approximately 1,200 miles" after the prior service. My actual invoice shows 56,571 miles on 4/30/26, and my odometer read 57,283 miles on 6/3/26, so the difference is 712 miles, not 1,200. Please see attached pictures. I don't know how this discrepancy happened, but it's the kind of easy-to-fact-check detail that makes me question the accuracy of their documentation. It also made me not trust their work so I took my car to BMW Seattle and paid for the valve cover replacement with factory original (OEM) parts instead. At least my money spent came with a peace of mind Why am I writing this? To save you an expensive mistake. I trusted the knowledge of Grant and Logan and approved every service they identified on my initial inspection and paid ~$4k only to have a stage 4-5 oil leak 1 month and 712 miles later (not 1,200 miles per the report). I'd encourage anyone considering this shop to ask detailed questions and consider a second opinion before approving large repair bills.

    Always great communication, clear explanations, they recommend options. Their customer service…read moreexceeds any auto service shop I have used. Highly recommend them!

Just recently, I had a performance suspension/steering upgrade on my sports car, and the company that sells the package sent some parts that were not compatible. They worked with the retailer to get the right parts, and made the necessary modifications for the system to fit perfectly. Above and beyond service, as always.

I do believe they…read moredo good work, and I've always known he charges top dollar(his shop rate is over $200 an hour), but I had no idea what was about to happen. He just charged me $820 to replace a set of trailing arms and 2 bushings. The most accesible ones. I know they were rusty, but wow! How much for the new guy? But that's not the worst of it. NOT including parts, and after all the parts and bolts had been replaced, he charged me $471 for an alignment. The average rate for an alignment on a Subaru AWD at Seattle dealership is $150. I'm sick to my stomach about being robbed. I wasn't shy about telling him how I felt, and he made excuses that I didn't buy. I believe in their quality, and went there, knowing I'd pay a little more. Little did I know... As I told him, they're awfully proud of their work. He asked me not to come back, as if I would, after such an egregious fleecing. Go here if you want to pay 3-4 times market rate.
