They helped me out very quick and easy. I had around a 2 hour gap between my work schedule and they managed to squeeze me in. Highly recommend this place! read more

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Sun Auto Repair in Renton. I came in because my trunk would not close. Before bringing my car in, I called and explained that I was confident the issue was the trunk latch. I asked about pricing and whether they had the latch in stock. I was told the first step would be to bring the car in so they could see if that was the problem. Once there, a mechanic tried slamming the trunk shut but it still wouldn't close. I was then told they needed to diagnose the issue for $140.00 to 170.00 At that point, I agreed because it sounded like they thought it might be something other than the trunk latch. Instead, I was charged $269 for a diagnostic, only to be told exactly what I already knew that the trunk latch was the problem. I don't understand why I was charged such a high diagnostic fee when I clearly explained the issue from the start. To make matters worse, I was quoted close to $800 to replace the trunk latch. For reference, the same latch for a 2016 Chevy Malibu LT 2.0 costs under $200 online. Between the excessive diagnostic fee and the inflated repair quote, I chose to walk away after paying the $269. They also claimed my battery was going bad, even though it was replaced just 7 months ago. Then today, I received a voicemail asking if I wanted to schedule work not just for the trunk latch and battery, but now spark plugs and struts issues that were never mentioned before. It honestly feels like they kept adding problems out of nowhere. I've had good experiences with them in the past, which makes this even more disappointing. Unfortunately, after this experience, I will not be bringing my car here again read more

Avoid sun auto unless you want to get ripped off and over charged. Expensive, Poor service, and poor quality.

Guys did amazing job Replaced tire at my Ford f 150 Very fast and good price , I'll definitely be back read more

Referred to by a good friend who knew the place as a former Goodyear. A few years later, the place was sold to Sun and the great quality never changed. From simple oil changes and brakes, to fixing ghr bushing and broken control rods, their diagnostics aim to please. It was a little pricey, but my car had a LOT of deferred maintenance on the mechanical parts, which were usual fixed within a few hours. Be advised that you can not just roll up to the place expecting service. An appointment must be made, and after that, the guys take care of the car. I hope the team in Renton has the opportunity to fix the rest of my car. They did great job amd well worth the penny. read more

I liked this place a lots, both service advisor & service technician are great. Thanks a lots guys!

I've been bringing my 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback here for the past 3 years. I typically in the past had done all the preventative and scheduled maintenance on my own. I moved and had no tools in my new place, and I typically do not trust most places. I had good service with transmission flushes, radiator flushes, oil changes, and even full brake and rotor service here. Alex, the previous manager, would let me bring my own OEM TOYOTA Oil filter and new aftermarket brakes with just charging me the labor, never had an issue. This last time there was new manager that complained about an OEM TOYOTA FILTER, being that they use lesser quality oem replacement parts it struck me as odd. Let's just say this is the last time I will be bringing my car here. read more

I brought my vehicle here for a quick cabin air filter check and oil change and they got it done quick and easy! Nice waiting area also. They also didn't go in and find other random issues that may be non-existent, just to get you to pay more money which is an unethical practice that I know some smaller shops try to pull on occasion. The price was fair and their managers are extremely kind and professional, especially Alex! Even though the location is small, they operate with the efficiency of a giant location. My company also uses Sun Auto and its partnered shops and they also are great business partners who help get our vehicles taken care of for our customers on short notices. 10/10 all around. read more

If you are looking for a very honest, helpful, respectful Auto Repair and Tire Business, this is it. Also, the pricing is very reasonable. I am a female, older and have been through the ringer with other Auto Repair shops, doing expensive work on a car that was a lemon, never advising me about that matter. Wasted thousands. Sun Auto Tire and Service is the opposite of that. I recommend doing business here whole heartedly! Top Notch! read more

Background info: I'm female, 74, and disabled. I used to do my own automotive repairs and maintenance in a younger, more abled life. My 2006 Scion xB has been cared for by the dealership since I bought it new. Two years ago, that changed when the dealership started telling me I needed a new battery when the battery was less than 5 years old. I noticed changes after the dealership was bought out, but the upselling has become really bad. A few weeks ago my brakes started squealing. When I got a SunAuto flyer in the mail I checked reviews on here and thought, "why not give them a try." So I scheduled an appointment, told them there was a squeak and may need fluid or some work on the brakes. Two hours after taking it in, they told me the (drum) rear brakes were so locked up they couldn't get to them. They offered to replace them, and my battery, for $1,500. Jaw dropped. I asked what the price would be to simply replace the brakes: $1,000. If you know anything about brakes, it's obvious this is all hogwash. So, I called the Les Schwab across the street instead, gave them the diagnosis and asked for a brake job quote: $496. I made an appointment with Les Schwab and took the car in. They examined the brakes and found they were misaligned in such a way that the rear brakes looked like new because they were barely touching the tires. When the car was suspended and brakes were applied, the tires were able to spin without contact to the brakes. Heavens knows how long I've been driving with just front brakes!!!!! The full cost of the alignment? $41.90. No squeak, lovely braking. I love Les Schwab for this, and many other reasons. Their integrity is impeccable no matter where I go. read more

OK right now if the temperature is above 90F no air conditioning. Saturday Morning I went to bellevue going there air conditioner was working. ON the way back it failed for 5 minutes then started working again. Temperature was around 80 to 83 by Car thermometer. It seemed to be failing infrequently. Something sticking then it breaks free and starts working. But have had no success using air conditioner above 90 degrees. I think the failure point is in the 80's Somewhere. Hard to test the way the temperatures are going this weekend. David read more

This morning I called and was told that I could come right over and have my tires inspected - yesterday a warning light had suddenly started blinking. A very courteous and knowledgeable young man checked each tire, adding air as needed. He spent at least 10 minutes with me answering questions, but I was not charged a dime. Of course, I will be taking my Ford back there in the future for all services as needed. read more

I picked up a nail with a bracket attached to it in my rear tire. Somewhere on 405 outside of Renton. This Point S is in a different city than the one I would normally go to. I walked right in and the woman at the front desk was extremely friendly. And helped me right away. The tech was able to get to my truck right away. Unfortunately the tire could not be patched. Due to the nail being too close to the sidewall of the tire. They did not have the particular tire size my truck required. I understood, and will have to get new tires at an different Point S location. Luckily my spare tire was a full size spare. They swapped the tires. And I was able to go on my my way to work. With no charge. read more

If you read about my experience below you know that I would never have returned. But my friend encouraged me to call them and see if they could find anything wrong about the rattling noise I heard. I called and spoke to their store manager Travis who actually had intended to contact me as well regarding my negative experience. Travis helped me out and had the mechanics double check my car and reassured me that safety-wise everything was okay. He said in light of the battery issues I experienced, they have a new policy for triple checking their battery tests if a battery fails and that he was in the process of warrantying out the test equipment because it seemed to be faulty. I appreciated that Good Neighbor is changing their policy to not give false results to their clients but part of me is surprised that it took this long to have such a policy given how long this place has been in business. Up until now, who knows how many false results have been given. I was also able to ask the mechanic to replace the windshield wiper fluid that was empty and not initially refilled. A week later, when I tried to go change my engine air filter (as recommended) one of the 2 nuts was loose while one was fully tightened. This is not a safety issue but if you take apart both nuts to take out my air filter for a photo at least put it back together properly. Travis cares about the customer and I would be willing to work with him again. My overall impression now is that this place is not as bad as I initially felt about it but it still wouldn't necessarily be the first place I go to get work done. read more

My vehicle was in an accident that needed my wheel redone as well as others stuff. They were very informative about everything from beginning to end. I was going to give them a four star, but with the customer service provided as well as service it was hard not to. The only reason I was going to give them a four star because of the length of time it took from the time I brought it in. read more

I was looking for my tires to be replaced, as well as the lug nut stud the previous mechanic stripped off. They went to the warehouse same day to pick up my new tires, balanced them, fixed the stud and did the alignment. I now feel a lot more safe when driving down the road. The store manager was great to work with, explained everything up front and the detailed report that comes with the inspection was extremely helpful. Thank you Good Neighbor Tires - Renton read more

I called Sun Auto out of the blue to see about an oil change for my car. A pleasant surprise as they told me to bring my car in and they could squeeze it in. It was already one or two in the afternoon so I felt I lucked out. I asked them not to do an analysis, just oil change. But the analysis is standard procedure with an oil change. They informed me about some problems and i decided let's just take care of these problems! Next day dropped my car off and picked it up at five pm. It's two months later and I can say the car is running great. Pretty happy with the service and cost for the repairs. I do recommend them. read more

Got a flat tire at a worst possible timing. This tire service in Renton was closest to me, and they were open early at 7:30AM. I came without appointment and let them know that I was in a rush (had an appointment in a few hours). They were able to take care of my car and within 30 minutes I was good to go. read more

I've been going here for almost 10 years now and Travis and his team always provide great service and great communication and photos during the entire inspection process so I can understand what going on with my car. read more

I found a nail in my tire and my tire had gone flat. They were able to fix the tire at no charge since I had purchased the tires from their shop. My van was in and out of the shop within hours and I was back on the road. read more

The Renton crew is amazing, they stayed late to make sure our car was done on a holiday weekend when there was an unexpected fix that needed to be done . Great customer service. read more

I needed new tires. They had the tires I wanted at a discounted price and they installed them the same day I called. Great service and a great price!! read more

I moved to the area 11 years ago I bounced around looking for a auto shop I can entrust the care of my families cars. When I found Good Neighbor Tire and Auto Service I was impressed on how well they keep you informed with what they find with pics, text and emails. Their professional service has me coming back for all my automotive needs. Thanks to the team for a job well done! Michael Newman read more

Amazing customer service!! Alex was wonderful and very knowledgeable about recommending tires for me. Super friendly too! And their prices are better than anywhere else, even Costco. Highly recommend, will be bringing our other cars here also. read more

Great friendly customer service will be back again a little on the pricey side but you're paying for the quality and workmanship will probably be back again when needed. read more

I usually go here for my oil change as the value is good and they are very responsive. The young gal there is very nice and has very good customer service skills. The techs do a great job doing the 22 point inspection on top of the oil change. Good service all around and always happy with them. read more

Hands down, Best auto repair shop--EVER! I don't live in Renton, but they are worth the travel from Seattle, because of their professionalism, quality and courtesy. The service is impeccable. They are honest, reliable and great value. I called them and spoke with Russ looking to get second opinion after having an estimate I wasn't entirely comfortable with at a local shop in North Seattle. He looked it over and told me to bring my car in for a courtesy inspection. I did just that. He told it to me straight and never tried to sell me something I didn't need. All in all, I saved over $600 and I feel confident with the recommended service repairs. If you live in Renton, you don't know how lucky you are to have an authentic auto repair shop right downtown. They don't make them like this anymore. read more

Had a leaking tire, and my car pulling to one side and was in renton area. Based on the reviews I called them. They listened patiently on the phone and told me I could bring it in that same day. They were very informative and they even email you a handy easy to read full report of their inspection. I didn't feel pressured and their customer service was great. Highly recommend!! read more

Excellent customer services, the best tires shop in town.

During my last 6 months living in Renton I found this place, then I moved to Federal Way. Now that I have moved - I still go back to this place for my oil changes and other services. I drive all this way for two reasons: They provide great service and I don't feel swindled when I leave their place. Service: Also - twice now they have been able to fit me into their workflow when I needed it the most. I don't know if I was luck or it's just the way they work. Don't get me wrong I don't take advantage of it but they have told me no in the past as well. Trust: At the end of my visit I get a link to a report for all the areas they checked. Not only written information but pictures of what they found and explanation why they recommend it. They explain it in layman's terms. I do not profess to be mechanically inclined...this way I don't feel inept when I am speaking to them and vice versa...they're a good crew. read more

Quick to schedule, thorough in inspection, fair on cost, AMAZING IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. I recommend them to everyone who asks!

My car was having charging problems for the battery. The car died and had it towed to Good Neighbor Tire. Travis was "johnie on the spot and had the car repaired the following day. This experience allows me to give them a 5 Star rating! Mark read more

I brought my car in for an oil change. I had asked them not to use full synthetic. I came back and full synthetic was used.. I did not even get a call stating that's all they had in that oil spec. I should have been called knowing I did not want full synthetic used. I do appreciate this shop and do realize things happen, but it is my car in the end. Respectfully read more

I am not a car person. I enjoy cars. I love my car, but I've never sunk my teeth into the fine details of how they work. When it comes to my car I only know when something doesn't feel right but I can only describe this in inarticulate terms. This has posed a problem in my life before as I have had some terrible experiences with mechanics in the past. I used to blindly trust mechanics until my engine block cracked since the mechanic was dismissive of my concerns. I spent ten years after that never quite trusting mechanics. Until now. Good Neighbor Tire and Auto Service will take care of you and your car. Travis explains problems in terms that I can understand without ever sounding condescending or irritated. He takes the time to explain and he never pressures a service. If the part is worn he'll give a heads up that it will need to be replaced and how much it will be. That is crucial to me because if he says something critically needs to be replaced I know it really needs to be replaced. Last I was in they showed me what the problem was. Each mechanic was super polite and professional. Above all they admit if they made a mistake and they will fix it. There's no excuses or coverups. They own everything they do, so I know when I drive away my car will be in better condition then when I brought it in. read more

I like their process. Follow up is like something I have never seen before. I got my oil changed and they do an inspection on other components of the vehicle. But the inspection comes with pictures of the components in your vehicle they are inspecting in addition to a video on what exactly the part does for the vehicle. Most thorough automotive process I've experienced. Very nice and professional. I did price shop around because I needed my breaks and rotors done, very comparable to Les Schwab. read more

Hands-down the best car shop I've ever run into! Travis is the most honest, kind, and transparent manager, and his crew has been great to work with, too. One of my favorite aspects is their end-of-service reports with photographs of all problem spots. Makes all the difference when it comes to building trust with customers. Just wish that I had discovered them sooner! read more

Three seperate visits, oil change, brakes, tune up. Every time great work, customer service and fair price. It's not always easy to trust your vehicle to strangers, give the folks a try. read more

I called Good Neighbor on behalf of my older parents. Travis was my point of contact. He was very professional and assuring that the issues we had would be cross-checked. After they evaluated, I received a courtesy call with all the options. He was thorough and provided unbiased feedback with pros and cons. We had the work done and could not have been happier. As my parents have been going here for 15+ years they don't want or trust anyone else. With my experience I would absolutely second that and recommend Good Neighbor for a fair and accurate evaluation, and, excellent work (in this case, it was an oil change while my parents have done just about everything to the car). read more

I have been coming to Good Neighbor for years. My service advisor always lets me know what needs to be done immediately and what can wait till next oil change. Very confident when I leave Good Neighbor that my vehicle is always safe, reliable and drives great! Thanks, David Parker read more

Once again Travis and crew provided excellent service for my vehicle. Thank you! Jim W read more
