Peter did a really good with the job at a reasonable time with fair pricing compared to other businesses. Another thing to add was that I had several dash lights left on due to replacing the brake pads and rotors on my own. Peter went through and cleared/fixed the VSA/brake issues so now that my dashboard isn't lit up like a Christmas tree! The service requested was a rack and pinion job as well as getting the engine bay cleaned so it would be easier to spot leaks in the future. I was recommend this place by my uncle and honestly if I was still living near Renton I would make this the go to place for my car to be serviced on.

I brought my Ford Ranger to Car Fix Automotive after it started jerking heavily between gear…read moreshifts. They diagnosed the issue quickly. It turned out the transmission needed to be replaced, and they took the time to explain that this is actually a common problem with this model, which I had no idea about. Unfortunately, I was past my Ford warranty, but the team went above and beyond to find a replacement transmission that is known to be more reliable than the original. They initially estimated about two weeks for the work, but they finished it in roughly half that time. The pricing was clear from the beginning, with no surprises on parts or labor. The truck now shifts smoothly, and I feel much more confident driving it. What really stood out was the follow-up: about a week after I picked up the truck, they reached out to see how everything was running. That kind of post-service care is rare.

I'm very disappointed with my recent experience at Sun Auto Repair in Renton. I came in because my…read moretrunk 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

Don't go here if you value quality!!! I had to get my water pump replaced 2 years after they…read moreinstalled it because they put a low quality aftermarket part in my car. The full story: I had them replace my water pump in December 2022. A quick google search says that a water pump should last 60,000-100,000 miles minimum, but 23,000 miles later it failed and I had to get another water pump replacement in November 2024. I talked to Jeremy at Advance Auto Tune and he said they install OEM parts (specifically Aisin for my car) but when my current mechanic took the part out of the car, they said the part that was installed was an aftermarket part. Advance Auto Tune refused to give me any money back, so I'm out $1000 because they installed a sub-par part. Feel free to reach out to me for details.

The sunroof on my Infiniti would not close and that was very frustrating and concerning to me, especially living in an area they get so much rain. I took it in first thing in the morning and a couple hours later they were calling to let me know that they had fixed the problem On another occasion, I was clumsy, attempting to change out my standard headlamp bulbs to some high visibility ones. I quickly hit my mechanical threshold, but not before I rendered one of the lights interoperable. Very tight working conditions. I took it into the shop and they called me an hour later saying that it was done. Other than those occasions, I've had some general work done, including oil changes and 30 and 60,000 mile maintenance packages. I have always found them to be courteous, offer a shuttle vehicle back to work and great communication. I highly recommend Greg's Japanese Auto.

I was looking for a shop at least to take a look at my car, but after trying hard for 3 weeks, I didn't find anyone. One of my friends recommended Chau's to me. I called explained the situation. First, Dennis hesitated as it might not be worth repairing. I begged him to at least take a look at the photos. He agreed. After sending him photos by email, he responded within an hour that he thought it would be worth repairing but he would have to find out whether the parts were available. He asked me to give him some time to find out. Two days later, he contacted me that he had found all the necessary parts and that he gave me an estimate of repair price. The repair price was so close to the insurance company's quote, which most repair shops had told me that it was impossible. Since my friend recommended Chau's, I decided to let Chau's do it. Dennis kept me informed the status of the repair, and the repair was done within the time he had promised. When I went to pick up the car, I was surprised and delighted to find it like brand new condition. The body work was pretty, and all the mechanic issues were fixed. The price was still the same as quoted. I am very happy and satisfied. I would highly recommend Chau's.
