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

Brett contacted me after inspecting my car and was very informative about the problems my car was giving. He was very professional and clear with the recommendations he had, at the same time, did not make me feel pressured into getting anything done, which is the best part because most mechanics are usually pushy! I ended up getting everything done that was recommended to me, and I am so very pleased with the results! My car runs like its brand new! I highly recommend Tumwater Automotive to anyone that is in need for car services; spare yourself the trip to the dealership, you won't be disappointed! P.S. Thank you Brett!!!

Delivered the vehicle to them Monday. They knew from me what was the problem and could have ordered parts before I even arrived, but decided to wait until I arrived on Monday. Monday, when I was being dropped off, I was told repairs like I was asking for take one, maybe two days to fix. The price they gave me AFTER DIAGNOSTIC was more expensive than local dealers for the same work. But since the car was already there and the appointment was made that was fine because I didn't have to work until Wednesday and if they had it fixed by Tuesday, no issue... Tuesday rolls around, no phone call, no communication. Late in the day I finally called and asked for an update. They told me it wasn't done and it looked like it would be one more day. So, I made plans to get a ride to work, and plans to pick me up. An hour before they were set to close, still no call, and we call them again, after I made plans to get off early and get a ride to get to the shop only to find out they still have even started on the work. I won't use them again, it was my first time, and suggest you don't either. They seem to want your business and then will hold you hostage until they finally get around to whatever you brought them.

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.

Will be certainly recommending to my friends and family.

There is a reason you see other reviews for this shop that have customers that have been coming to them for years! The labor rates are reasonable and they take the time to explain, and show you the issue. They're HONEST, and are not going to sell you a bunch of extra services you don't need, and they actually care about the work they do. I can tell you these things with the utmost confidence. I'm not a mechanic by any means, but I am mechanically inclined and can do some repairs myself. The hours of labor they quoted for the the repair were done by the actual amount of time it took them to do the job. Pricing for the parts were normal, but also, the quality of those parts were obvious. They were not some cheap junk, and there wasn't a huge markup like you're going to find with someone else.They have integrity, and that is a very rare trait in the automotive industry these days. Trust the reviews! I did, and they didn't disappoint! One very happy customer. Thank you guys! :)

Pricing and turnaround is reasonable, probably better than you will find anywhere else. They have done serious engine repair for me, exhaust install, brake work, metal panel repair, alignment, transmission work, the list goes on and on... If you have a classic car, you know how much it means to you. Don't take it anywhere else, this is your shop.

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!
