Brought my 2005 Legacy GT Wagon 5spd here. Check engine turned out to be pretty bad, needed a short block swap. Completed the work professionally and quickly. Very open and up front about all issues as they came up and potential solutions to move forward. Also, very competitive on pricing compared to all shops in the area. Will definitely be bringing my vehicle back here for future service. Highly recommend

I had a check engine light for a secondary air valve on my 2008 Subaru STI Hatch. My communication with Rene was quick and responsive. After getting it fixed the problem returned, Rene and his team were able to get the car back in very quick and get the issue sorted for good. Rene is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions you may have and go into as much detail as you want. Will take my Subarus here for any future work most definitely.

Always honest about the work that needs to get done, I get my vehicles back when they say and very good pricing. Friendly staff as well.

Rene and the staff at PNW Motors is amazing! They diagnosed all the issues my Subaru Legacy wagon was having. Fixed everything within 2 days and I had my car back no issues. Very knowledgeable when it comes to replacing parts and recommending what to use. The prices here are great as well. Super nice guy. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone who needs work done on their Subaru. You will not be disappointed here!

I had a blown motor in my Subaru 2005 STi and after asking around on the forums/facebook I was recommended to PNW motors by several people. After reading about the shop and seeing the rating, I decided to take my car in the shop for repair. It went in for a new clutch, TGV deletes, a new short block replacement, head rebuild and resurface, AOS install and other minor upgrades.I talked to Rene who runs the shop extensively about the build and the plans I had for the build and he was able to clear up any questions I had about my build very knowledgably, clearly and respectfully. The amount of communication that this shop and Rene has with their customers is bar none, making the entire process very smooth. Never at any point was I in doubt or unable to contact them to ask questions. I was updated with pictures at every step of the way.After the build, he collected all the parts and gave them back to me. He showed me all the broken and worn out parts on my car that was replaced which was nice to see.The shop performs excellent work that is backed if you have any issues. I had some minor issues arise after the build, took the car back into the shop and it was fixed asap.They perform the work quickly at an affordable price, leaving you feeling good about taking it there for work without being gouged at the dealership. Rene will ONLY recommend purchasing and replacing parts if it is needed, he does not simply make you go out and buy expensive parts just to throw at the car to make a sale.While he can safely, quickly and reliably order parts for you, he always recommended places elsewhere to order them yourself to save some money from dealer prices. He even gave me a replacement oil cap when my Grimmpeed AOS was deleted and I needed one.There are not many places I would trust to build a highly modified 400whp Subaru, and this is one of them. If they had a Dyno in house, I would even get a tune from them but will be going to PIA for a tune.Overall, very solid shop with knowledgeable mechanics. The opposite feeling of a dealership in the most positive way. Friendly, reliable, affordable, convenient and quick service all around.Is now my go to shop for my Subaru. They even offer cash discounts and Facebook group member discounts.

Great shop! Saved my rear in a pinch today. Reasonable rates, get it done! Highly recommend!

I just finished my first oil change with Rene at PNW Motors. Color me IMPRESSED. This gentleman knows his Subarus, and I feel like I came away with a short college course of information on my car.The shop was clean and looked well managed. The prices are very reasonable, and the owner (Rene) and tech I interacted with were very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. I asked way too many questions, and was treated with total respect and patience.This shop just happens to be a 5 minute drive from my home, but Id gladly travel much longer than that for this level of service. I will definitely be returning for any future maintenance and repairs on my WRX.

I wouldnt trust any other shops close by to work on my car. The quality is next level. I dont understand how PNW motors does so much business and spends so much time with each individual customer going over their car. Rene and the techs are the chillest people to work with and great at their jobs.

PNW has been my go to for all my 2008 Forester needs. Quick, professional, and excellent work.

They are real stand up guys. Willing to communicate, and do great work. Very knowledgeable. I finally found my Seattle Subaru/WRX/STI shop.

Long over due review went to get my car diagnosed and they quickly addressed the issue, the owner ordered the necessary parts and fluids and got it in quick. Easy to work with honest work and really nice people ! Definitely a shop to get your Subie serviced !

AMAZING and HIGH quality people. Had A LOT done to my car and they did an amazing job. I did not feel like I was getting ripped off. I do not plan on using any other shop for anything in the future. If youre on the fence of where you should go, you need to visit PNW motors.... Nuff said

Where do I start with these guys, i’m absolutely speechless as to the amount of work they did for my car and how spot on everything was. My motor had some crazy issues at the beginning of the year, and I spent the next 9 months trying to figure out what was wrong. They were able to pinpoint everything down to the ECU, and found a replacement within the same week. These guys at PNW Motors did not disappoint. Extremely professional, very thorough throughout the whole process (even kept all the parts he was replacing to show me exactly what was wrong), and very knowledgeable with Subarus. I had way more confidence in them over the actual dealership which is really saying something. I highly recommend anyone whose in the Des Moines area to go to these guys. Thank you Rene and to your staff I couldn’t have done it without you. I’m a lifetime customer now.

I love PNW Motors. The mechanic around!Fair, Friendly, and Honest.Good mechanics are hard to find.I am happy to know one in PNW Motors!!

Had a loud knocking noise in my 09 Subaru Forester XT that was diagnosed by a 3rd party. I was told Id need to rebuild my current motor.I decided to go the new route with a block from Subaru. Rene helped me every step, and was able to give me pricing that was much better than my local shop. I had my car towed over to his shop, and his tech was able to install the new motor within 3 days.He was very professional and shared photos along the way. His tech was very thorough and made sure I was set to drive the 250mi home. He also saved all the parts that were taken off. Why? So he could show me what was wrong!! +1 for clarityAdded some photos I was sent during the process.

My motor went out in my 1998 Subaru Outback and after calling around to see what the options were, these guys felt like the best choice. Extremely happy I went with them because they were not only great to work with and did excellent work but I felt like I was a part of the process. They took time to explain what was going on, gave me options and kept me in the loop when things were delayed a bit due to the virus. I highly recommend these guys for any Subaru work you need.

Ive taken my 99 Subaru Forester into Renes shop several times and he has always gone above and beyond to make sure he and his team provide the best service. They are knowledgeable, friendly, and sincerely care about getting you back on the road. I trust them to take care of my car and to always be honest about what to expect with repairs - better than any other shop Ive been to!

PNW Motors is a diamond in the rough, Rene is absolutely great he’s honest resourceful and along with his team of technicians can solve or find where it can be solved. I have a merecedes clk 55 amg that needed a lot of care and diagnosis which PNW were able to do they were even honest enough to tell me what they could not do versus charging me anyway. All of my vehicles will be vices here from now on I recommend them whole heartedly you won’t be sorry if you bring your car or truck especially if it’s a suburu.

I took my car in because it was having some transmission issues; they were very clear about what was wrong with the car, what needed to be done to repair it, and how much it would cost. They also use OEM parts! The price was very affordable compared to the dealership. All in all, Im very happy with my experience here.

PNW Motors was recommended to me by a friend and I realized pretty quickly that Rene and his technician were terrific. Rene was extremely prompt to look at my car and diagnose the problem. Every step of the way he was communicating with me with clarity and respect. Also offering choices. I have rarely felt so respected by an auto mechanic. His prices are fair, and the work was done well. My car is running like a charm after needing a new starter and some fluids. To top it off, I thought I would need a rental for a few days. I only needed it for 8 hours! A very happy customer, I will definitely be coming back!

Wonderfully knowledgeable people, gave excellent suggestions and solutions for every problem and question I asked, and took very good care of my vehicle. Very happy with the service, Steven did a great job servicing my clutch, hose, boot, and axle.

PNW Motors treated me right from the moment I entered the door. I came in with no coolant in my Subaru, and Rene diagnosed and solved the problem! They also took care of some much needed maintenance, and at a very reasonable cost. Ill be recommending PNW Motors to everyone who needs a mechanic. Thank you again!

Rene and his team are fantastic, they saved my car. Steven is a wizard. Really knowledgeable, they share all the info and pics you could want, they truly want the best for you and your car. My 2008 WRX blew its engine, they swapped the motor and got me a new turbo for a very fair price. Car now runs better and my new engine is less than half the miles of the old one! I dont think many shops out there could have done that for less than the cost of buying another car, PNW did. Broken cars suck, save yourself some stress by taking your Subaru here.

Pnw Motors is Very friendly and very knowledgeable. They were 100% transparent and kept me updated every step of the way. I would 100% recommend to them to anyone. No doubt I will be returning with any other mechanical need in the future.

Fast professional service...I brought three of my cars there with perfect results.

These guys are the best! Rene is a stand up guy who will go out of his way to help you out. Super friendly staff who are passionate about Subarus. If you need work done on your Subie and are looking for a shop you can trust, look no further this is the place.

Brought my 2005 forester xt to the team at PNW Motors with a trunk full of parts Id like installed. They checked everything over, installed and tested parts, communicated with any questions that arose (mostly about what Id prefer option a/option b type of stuff), kept me in the loop the whole process and the outcome was in my budget. I cant be happier with their work. Great job and highly recommend them for your Subaru needs!

Awesome place! Very genuine and truthful and VERY knowledgeable with Subarus. Rene is an awesome guy. If you have a Subie bring it to PNW, you wont regret it!

Passionate mechanic with fair prices.

Super friendly staff and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be referring my friends to go here as well.

Great people, great mechanics, and awesome evening hours! Theyve dealt with a couple of my cars and even managed to get my BMW on the right track!

This is one of the best mechanics honest and good prices
