Olympia Autoworks is what every shop should be: Honest, fairly priced, transparent, responsive, and…read morefriendly! I brought in a car that I purchased recently with unknown service history. Their complimentary multi point inspection with pictures (free with paid oil change) gave me insight into the health and status of fluids, ball joints, suspension, and general condition of the car. This level of transparency is amazing, because I've definitely been to OTHER shops that would have told me all of the fluids need to be replaced without any proof. I highly recommend Olympia Autoworks for your service needs!

I asked them many times to let me know what work was needed and how much it would cost, with a…read morebreakdown, in writing, of parts and labor, before they started any work. They assured me that they would provide this info before doing any work and that the assessment would not cost me anything. Instead, over a week after bringing in the car, they completed the work without telling what work would be done, without notifying me how much anything would cost, and it cost hundreds of dollars. No notice or breakdown of parts and labor as promised. The techs end their shifts around 3 and the person who answered the phones and called to let me know the car was ready could not tell me what work was done, why it was done, nothing. If you opt to work with this garage, get everything in writing up front and in person and do not leave your car with them if you can help it.

Excellent customer service. All of the mechanics I saw as…read moreI waited in the shop were very friendly. I was way overdue for an oil change so that's what I had done today. Kodi was my mechanic and he was quick, friendly and professional. The cost was very similar, maybe less than what Toyota would have charged me and Mike's is only a 6 minute drive round trip from my home. I'll strongly recommend them to anyone.

Unfortunately for "Mike" I'm not one of them. Steer clear of this place. If you're like me and have to take your vehicle here because warranty preference, don't let them do any other work outside of warranty. Unless it's unsafe to move your car to another mechanic. Don't let the charge you taxes on the entire warranty covered cost. Don't let them force you into one of their rental cars by intentional delays. The car they provided was out right scary and a prime example of their technical ability. Not to mention they charged the warranty an extra rental day, because it allows for seven. When I asked about the extra day, I was told, "don't worry you don't have to pay for it". I could on. STAY AWAY!!!!

ON the 25th returning from an errand on the way to Meet Chris my transmission blew. Once I got my vehicle home, Chris came out and did an inspection for my vehicle for repairs consisting of Engine & Transmission rebuild. On March 27th Chris came out and conducted an inspection. Verified issues, confirmed work to be done. We Discussed adding an aftermarket CAM which required a higher price. Confirmed part and Price. Later that evening I paid my $3,000 deposit on nearly a $6,000 job. Today is April 10th - My truck is still sitting in my driveway. Ive been told Chris has had heart failure, blood clots and other complications. Cannot confirm information. They're so called mechanic was also supposed to come out but never did.

I've taken my car into Ken's Automotive for years, and Greg was my 'go to guy'!…read moreWithin the last few months that I've tried to get hold of Ken's/Greg...the phone just rings and rings and I can't get a hold of anybody in the shop!? I always thought that Greg was the owner...because he ran the shop with such thoroughness and always treated me with the utmost respect as a customer; no matter how big or small my car needs were! I have since learned that Greg is not with Ken's Automotive anymore. I refuse to have anyone else from Ken's Automotive work on my vehicle because, it's not Greg! I'm doing my due diligence on finding someone with Greg's expertise- so far nothing! I don't know the reason for Greg's absence at the shop? Apparently, 31 years doesn't mean much to Don, the owner...but it does to me, the customer!

My R56 Mini Cooper had a check engine light on and the performance was lacking. I originally took…read moreit to the dealer who quoted me over $1500 for repairs and said it could need further diagnosis. I decided against that in hopes of finding a less expensive option. After a bit of research I found Olympia Autoworks (previously called Foreign Autoworks) . They have extensive experience with European cars so I decided to schedule an appointment to get a diagnostic done to see how much the repair would cost. Making the appointment was quick and easy. After they took a look at the car I received a phone call explaining the issues they found and why the plan of action would be to fix them. They were very transparent in answering my questions and I did not feel pressured to go through with any of the services that may not have been necessary. The online system they use to approve and deny each individual fix is nice as well. They worked on the car for around 3-4 days and now it runs amazing! They have a better service warranty than the dealer as well. I will definitely be back for any other service needs.

Very friendly, good communication and great service! I would absolutely recommend Foreign…read moreAutoworks to those looking for auto service.

They'll have your vehicle running smoother than your last relationship, and somehow convince you that you actually like hearing about A/C condensers and refrigerant fluid. 10/10 would let them tell me when my next oil change is again.

I chose The Tire Dogs on Division in Olympia. They quoted me a tad over $500. I took my car back 3 days later and had them do the job. Kia stated it was a 5 hour job. Well, Tire Dogs did it in less than 1 1/2 hours and they reduced the quoted price by $200. because it took them far less time to do than they thought. I am completely satisfied I made a great decision in choosing them. Friendly, professional and amazingly honest. Thanks Tire Dogs in Olympia.
