Was trying to get some pads replaced on my vehicle, this place tried to tell me that they charge 220 something dollars per axle. For pad replacement, how is this not gouging. My current pads are a little under 50% so I know the rotors are good. They said that they do it regardless of whether it needs it or not. I said thats ripping me off.
I took my 2009 Ford escape XLT to Bryans automotive for what we believed was a small electrical short. The mechanics ran a full inspection of the wiring and circuitry and actually found no issues! However, their highly skilled and experienced mechanics discovered a much larger problem with the vehicles transmission. This issue resulted in the car having an extremely difficult time shifting gears and getting up to speed on the road. Along with the difficulty of shifting gears, the overall damage caused to the transmission could very well render the car completely immobile and unsafe. Thanks to the expert diagnosis and timeliness of the technicians at Bryans automotive, I am not left stranded on the side of the road waiting for triple A.
I have used Bryan’s in the past and enjoyed their service. My vehicle broke down recently and I had it towed to their business. After evaluating it, they determined the starter was bad. Since the current starter had a lifetime warranty, I told them I would get a replacement starter and bring it to the to install. They refused to allow me to bring in a new starter and wanted me to pay for a new starter so they could get the markup on the starter. The place I bought the original starter from agreed to give me a new one, but Bryan’s wouldn’t allow that. They replaced a wire and I had it towed to another garage who gladly replaced my starter with a new one under warranty. It is unfortunate they Bryan’s is only out for the money and not customer service. No longer my or my family’s choice for automotive repair. Lost a lot of future business from my family, relatives, co-workers and friends.
You can tell these folks really care about their customers. They were honest about my car situation and didnt attempt to nickle and dime me just to make a profit, but more than that, they allowed me to store my vehicle there all week while I found somewhere to tow it, waving any charges. As a single mom on a rough week, this absolutely made all the difference. I will always bring my cars here!
Professional and friendly service. They did everything they could to get me back on the road. I would highly recommend going here.
These guys absolutely went out of there way to accommodate my repair on a very dirty vehicle, the entire experience was very welcoming, was addressed very timely, and all throughout I felt like I was being taking care off, not just my car.Only place Ill take my car now!
Had a great experience with them, got the job done quick and at a reasonable price, no complaints here
Its no wonder they were voted best in Washington! Super professional staff and service. On time while providing updates while work was performed. Best of all, under quote by 15%!
They were very professional and kind. Finished fast but with good quality care.
Brought my Nissan Xterra to Bryans Automotive and they were straight forward with me from the first talk on the phone. Excellent, top of the line in customer service and knowledge of Automotives. Thank you again!
Very friendly, courteous employees they know what they are doing. Would recommend to anyone.
Fast and honest service. Ill definitely come back.
I have been so happy with the professional experience I have always had with Bryan Automotive. Communicates great, trustworthy.
I went in expecting my a/c had a simple problem. Everyone was really friendly and nice when I went in. It felt very comfortable. Though the news I got was an icy shock TJ had let me down gently and honestly about the situation. He gave me time to process and make a decision and be was willing to support whatever way I chose. Which meant getting a new car which I am promptly bringing to Bryans to get checked up on.
I had some issues with my transmission from my truck I recently purchased and thankfully Bryan’s is part of the repair pal network Carmax recommends. After finding the issue w/ the transmission they were able to point me in the right direction and course of action to remedy. You be hard pressed these days to find a business who works in the best interest of the customer. Thanks to Josh and co for the hospitality and great customer service, which is evident when you walk through the door. Greatly appreciated and now my preferred business to bring my vehicles to.
Had a brake inspection and oil change recently and the fluids in my car were not toped off causing me to think there was another reason my low brake fluid light was on, when we took the car home after to do a brake fluid flush ourselves we found the tire nuts were not torqued tight enough.The other problems I have are more just comparisons to other mechanics which instead of blame these guys for reasonable policy’s I will instead give good comments to the competitors on that page.Notedthat when I did rate low and leave. Bad comment before I was contacted by the manager and was allowed to air my grievances and the manager TJ was very professional an concerned about my problem. Because of this I will be continuing to use Bryan’s Automotive despite these issues
Trustworthy people, this is the first place in Washington I felt comfortable bringing someone of importance and leaving it for repair.I needed a fairly complicated part on my vehicle tuned and the job was completed the same day my appointment was scheduled.Would recommend.
Staff was friendly and very helpful. Excellent job!!! Very pleased and highly recommend to anyone!
I drive an older truck, to which I am emotionally attached. For me, taking my truck to the shop is like taking a pet to the vet. You could say I’m a regular at Bryan’s for that reason. I trust the team at Bryan’s to help me prioritize which services I’m most in need of to keep my truck alive. They’ve always done solid work, and at a great rate. Anyone you talk to there will know about your vehicle, because they are truly interested in “cars”. I won’t trust any of my vehicles to anyone else!
First time I have used Bryan’s yet will not be the last. Very professional. Very friendly. Extreme cost saving over the dealership and the work was completed in a timely manner. I would very much recommend Bryan’s for your auto repair needs.
Our goto repair shop. Always go above and beyond to help, and are super honest and straightforward.
I always have anxiety w taking my car in. i read the reviews here. and some word of mouth recs from some colleagues. this business really is great.the staff was friendly, transparent, and i did not feel nickel and dimed at all. in fact, the repairs were done below the estimates given. i appreciate the team at bryan’s. think we’ve found our go to team.
The customer service is fabulous. They explained everything needed on my vehicle and why. They finished my vehicle in a timely manner. I felt like they bent over backwards for me to make it easy on me. I really appreciate the care they took.
They were great explaining there process and pricing up front. Great job
These guys rock got me in fast and my truck left happy
Excellent customer service, fair pricing and a quick turnaround for the repair! Our new auto repair shop!
Trustworthy. And great service.
Good service as normal.
I was going to give this place 5 stars. The work was great, they took me in right away and finished my truck in about 2-3 days. Prices were reasonable. I didn’t quite catch his name at the front desk but he was extremely friendly. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because before I dropped off my truck I asked for my tires to be rotated and when I came to pick up my truck I asked again if they were rotated and he told me yes. They are not rotated. I wasn’t charged for it though so it’s fine but just a slight inconvenience. Will be coming back in the future for sure.
Honestly since moving to Washington 2 years ago the only place i get work done on my cars is Bryans, Josh and Tj and the entire staff here is always knowledgeable, patient and willing to help in anyway. Hell maybe im over doing it but these fellas are damn good at their Job!!
Been using Bryans for over 13 years. They have always been honest and friendly. Very knowledgeable and work with their customers well. Never have had a problem here. One time our van broke down in Keslo and even with getting the van towed from Keslo to Opympia, the cost still came out below the quote from.a mechanic in Keslo. Definetly a 5 star business.
It was my first time taking my car to Bryans, and I have to say, I was more than pleased with the service there. Obviously we all get anxiety taking our car to the shop. Weve all had those nightmare situations with at least one. But these guys are honest, and friendly. Going forward I wont take my car anywhere else. These guys did a great job, and I trust them. And trust is really the most important thing when it comes to mechanics.
Took my truck there because it would not start, even though i put in a new battery. They said nothing wrong with it. And recommended a tune up which i did for about 800.00!! within 2 weeks home, car did not start. Do not go here, unless you want to pay for nothing. should have minus score, not even a one.
They have done all of my work on my 2 vehicles for the past 2 years.This has included a transmission replacement and a major engine change..I trust their mechanics.Reliable and timely.
Excellent service. Have used them 3 times now and have decided to make them my new regular mechanic. They installed an aftermarket cat-back exhaust, poly engine mount bushing, control arms, adjustable rear sway bar and endlinks on a Mini Cooper. They do good work.
Staff are clear and friendly and call with updates. Repairs get done quick.
We have been taking our cars to Bryans Automotive for over 20 years. One of my cars is 21 years old (with 300,000 miles now) and the main reason it is still purring along is Bryans prfossional work. We first started using Bryans after my wife visited there and told me you could eat off of the garage bay floors. If they took that kind of care of the workplace, then we knew they would take good care of our cars, and they have. They tell me only what needs to be done and do not push any unnecessary work. They have even diagnosed my car over the phone, told me what to look for and then how to fix it (leak in a vacuum hose). If they make a mistake, they own up to it and make it right.
Locally owned, great customer service
I had my SUV towed to Bryan’s after hours. They fixed my car at a fair price and really fast. I recommend them for small and large jobs. I’ve used them before and the customer service is great. They even help with vehicle issues over the phone and they were spot on everything.
Second time servicing a vehicle. Both times were well done with excellent customer service.
Bryans Automotive recently did us a nice favor while we were passing through Olympia on a road trip. 15 minutes before they closed, they changed our tail light bulb for us that we had just purchased at an auto parts store – at no charge!Thank you, Josh and your crew. Your kind deed really help us out!
Bryan’s is a local auto repair shop that is my go-to spot for honest, timely and informative about what’s going on as your repair gets underway. I recommend you give them a try!
They fixed my car super QUICK. I will definitely go back in the event of needing repairs.I highly recommend Bryans automotive. Ask for Josh, he was super friendly and offered exceptional customer service!!
Bryans Automotive is fantastic!! Awesome customer service--everyone is super nice, they are thorough, they answer every question patiently, and they dont talk down to someone who doesnt understand cars (me). The prices are more than fair, its always easy to get an appointment time that works for me, and they are good about communicating with me during the day if they run into a surprise or something is going to take longer than expected. Theyre honest, fair-priced, and really efficient! I totally recommend Bryans Automotive!
Horrible experience! Took car there twice, the 2ND time because there was an issue after service. They are incompetent, DISHONEST and kept telling me different lies each time. Do not trust them! Its best to go to a dealer and pay more. They just want your $. Rude customer service!
We have been bring our cars to Bryan’s Automotive for 7 years now. I love that they treat you like family and give me a honest answer no matter if it fits them or me. You are great hands with them! Thanks Chris, Josh, TJ and the mechanics!
This is the only place that works on any of my cars other than me, good workmanship at a fair price
Excellent service, Fast, Friendly, Price very fair.Love their lobby❤️. They also provide freeShuttle. Highly recommend Bryons
Not happy with a 600 dollars water pump replacement
Only place we trust with my 2004 ChevyMy truck hasnt needed too much work for its age, a couple mid size repairs and some things that probably fall more under body work than auto repair like replacing my tail light covers and the rubber trim around my windshield etcBrians is reasonably priced andaccommodating. They never make us feel like an inconvenience.What we appreciate most is they are very honest. My husbands not a mechanic but know enough to know whats wrong, so whenever we bring the Chevy in he tells them whats going on and asks them to give it a good look over.They have always been honest about what it needs and doesnt need.Thanks guys (not sure if theres any gal, but thanks if there is)
Customer Service that cant be beat. My car needed an ABS control module replaced, it took Bryans Auto two days to get the part in; sure the dealership could have got the part the same day but they couldnt schedule my car to be seen for two days so pretty much even there. The price was about what the dealership wanted as well. But quality concierge service and professional courtesy were top notch. Plus I believe the company is Veteran owner and has a military / law enforcement discount.
These guys went above and beyond for my car. They fixed it and topped my car off with fluids after they ordered it. The time it took was longer due to special order but I am very grateful for the friendly, amazing, and helpful work they did on my car. Definitely a lifesaver for me. Very appreciative 🤙🏼
The staff at Bryans Automotive have always been so friendly & courteous. Their prices are fair and I enjoy dealing with a local business.I am very appreciative of the nice car wash they give with each service appointment. As a senior with some mobility problems, it is a big help.Also, I find their courtesy ride service to be very convenient & helpful.
I am in a wheel chair and they have always been very accommodating and professional. The quality of the work is top rate and I believe non better.
I have always had good results when ever I had a mechanical issue with my vehicles.
I want to say that we have all our automobiles repair done at Bryans Automotive and I love them. They do a pretty terrific job, HONEST repair service guys, they are always upfront on what it will cost. They will give you on an estimate before they start on your vehicles...They will tell you approximately when it will be done. IF they have to order a part for your car they will call you uo let you know in details what the cost is. How wonderful is that. I HIGHLY, Highly recommend these guys to do any cars. THANK YOU; Bryant, Dave and ALL your service guys for doing a great job with our automobiles. If you need your cars engine oil changed they do that too....
Friendly and professional interaction, in which employees assure you they know what they are talking about with your car (rather than guesses, as with some places). Been there 12 times with my cars, and problem solved EVERY time 100%.
All my friends told me Bryons was the place to take my car and they were right!!! They really are the Best Auto Repair in Western WA!! I can not say enough about the great service from patiently listening to me explain the sounds my car was making, to quickly diagnosing the problem and fixing it at a very reasonable price. You are in very good hands with the guys at this shop!
Bryans is the automotive repair shop you can trust. It is run by individuals with the utmost integrity. I will continue to be a patron and will encourage others to become lifelong customers of this outstanding business. An exceptional operation!
Friendly and polite. Took the time to explain. Forward thinking-Tried to save the customer money by suggesting legitimate repairs, such as since you already have the labor to pull apart x, you may as well do y to save you on the labor because y is due for maintenance in 4K miles. Put new wipers on my car for free. Really like the give a ride service. Very convenient.Oh! I also forgot to mention that I first went to them for a 2nd opinion because the dealership told me I had a fuel leak. They were working on my car because of a recall. They wanted to charge me $800 to fix the leak. Turns out that one didnt exist! Thank you Bryans!
Last week I faced the lesser of 2 evils and tried to pass over a chunk of metal on I-5 Southbound (the other choice was to cause a major collision, since it was busy). It tore up the bottom of my car and my car limped into the Valvoline Instant Oil Change place off Marvin, so they could take a look. The helpful folks there recommended I have it towed to Bryan’s Automotive. They said a lot of their customers had very good experiences there.All the people I came in contact with at Bryan’s Automotive were very respectful, knowledgeable and kept me updated throughout. I soon had my car back running smoothly, minus the “angry-squirrel-noises”. I will certainly return to Bryan’s Automotive for future maintenance needs and will also recommend Bryan’s to friends and acquaintances :)
Great place!! Very prompt, accurate estimate--most importantly--treated with respect. Always feel like I am getting a fair price and quality work with wonderful customer service. I recommend them to everyone!!
Its simple, theyre the best! You can absolutely be assured your vehicle will get top-of-line attention and service. Customer service is excellent. And then they clean it before you pick it up. No doubt, Bryans Automotive is #1.
They did a good job on my girls S-10 truck. Fast and fair, good quality work done on time and on budget. Thanks, we will bring it back next month for the rest of the repairs we need.
We have taken our autos there multiple times and they always work hard to get them back to us in a timely manner. They have even stayed late for us a couple times because it wasnt done on the day they said. They are awesome!
Payed to get a tune up and difenetly didnt get one, went back to complain and they just ignored my complaint! Dont know if it had to do with me being female? Be aware!
I need another star! On a scale of 1 to 5, I want to give them 6. Ive been a loyal Bryans customer for many years. Theyve always done good work, gotten it done fast and taken good care of me. I expect to be a loyal Bryans customer for many more years.
This place told me I needed a new motor when it was just my turbo that needed replaced.... Got a call from the owner ( new owner since I was last there ) and he was super nice and made up for what happened.
The staff is helpful and patient. The repairs needed for my car were thoroughly explained and I was able to make an informed decision on the work I wanted to have done.They went out of their way to fit the diagnosis of the problem with my car the same day I called! None of the other auto shops I called were even willing to discuss a way to diagnose the issues with my car at a convenient time for me.They are able to provide any and all care needed for my car and I will continue to take it to them for service and problems that might arise in the future.
The got me in same day, and went above and beyond. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Price was much less than I expected. I highly recommend Bryans Automotive!
Very helpfull.
These guys are the best! They are always busy because they are good. Always smiling, prompt, and I really appreciate the ride to work when I drop off my car for the day! Highly recommend their superior service!!
Thought my AC Compressor was shot - expecting a repair cost of $800+. The folks at Bryans discovered only a valve needed replacing. Cost me A LOT less. Honest people. AC works great. - Mark
I purchased a car for my daughter and needed it running well and safe before I drove it to CA to hand her the keys. Bryan and his crew went above and beyond my expectations with knowledgable, courteous and fair service. The shop rates are half what youll find at most shops, especially dealerships. If you want a shop you can trust look no farther than Bryans automotive. I would go back without reservation.
There just isnt enough I can say about the care and service given my 1987 Ford Victoria Wagon...After 27 years this coming October, it still drives like a dream, turns on a dime and keeps up with all on the freeway, thanks to the care and service it receives at Bryans Automotive.Thanks to everyone there!!Thanks also for detecting several things that need work. See you on Tuesday, Sept 16.Thanks again.Marjorie.
Bryan saved me over five hundred dollars after the local Toyota dealership told me I needed work on my 2012 Camry XLE that simply wasnt necessary. I will definitely return to Bryans Automotive because of his integrity and workmanship.The work on my car was also done in a timely manner. Thanks, guys.
Fast, Fair, Friendly Service.
I have trusted Bryans for many years, and they have never let me down. They are skilled, courteous and dedicated to quality service. Theyre just real good at doing their job, and I appreciate the work they do for me.
I have been taking my cars to Bryans Automotive for over six years. They are very trustworthy and will tell you if a service can wait, no pressure or fear tactics ever. The shop is spotless and the staff professional. Every job is explained and they have never gone over the estimated amount. I acutally heard them apologize to another customer for going over an estimate by $30.00, because they overlooked something in the original estimate. I would never take my car anywhere else. Since they are not open on the weekend, and I work outside of their shuttle range, I gladly take my vacation time off to get my car repaired here. A++++++ shop!!
Given some scheduling changes on my end, I had to reschedule a couple of times for A/C service. They were very accommodating to my schedule. The waiting room is very clean and comfortable. They diagnosed the problem, replaced a part and serviced the A/C and the total bill was only slightly more than a standard service for adding refrigerant.
Ive been bringing my vehicles to Bryans for years. I find them to be honest and reliable. There might be cheaper shops out there, but you get what you pay for and its important to have a mechanic I trust.
I scheduled engine check-up and within the day, the malfunction was detected and fixed! Great job to TJ of Bryans auto for the very good customer service!
As always....great service! Got me in the same day with just a phone call and service completed within an hour. Counter folks great to work with.
We have used Bryans Automotive since 1988 and have no intention of changing our automotive specialist. We have had great service throughout the years, and since the business was sold to a new owner quite some time ago. Bryans Automotive is our one and only source for automotive repair (and advice).
My only regret is that I live 2,600 miles away from Bryans. TL;DR - over three weeks they took great care of some major repairs that allowed me to get back home to western NY. I highly recommend them.I was visiting Lacey helping my daughter recover from a car accident when the check engine light came on in my car (2011 Kia Sorrento). This precipitated a series of repairs which, all told, came to $2.4K parts and labor. Now, I must mention that my car has seen 9 western/upstate NY winters, and most of the repairs had to do with corroding parts. Bryans doesnt see many cars with as much rust as mine has, but they handled everything with aplomb.The customer service is great! TJ, Josh and Chris were friendly and easy to talk to. Chris (whom I believe is the owner; check out his shirts!) gave me the names of several nice restaurants in the area to try, and even turned me on to a great Mexican food truck just down the road. Chris was my chauffeur back and forth from the shop. Their quotes were upfront and spot on; I was never surprised by any additional charges.As to the overall cost, despite the high total, they worked hard to keep the costs down. They offered me their educators discount as a retired teacher. They found a part for the emissions system that was used, in great shape, and cost at least half of what a new part would cost. They called all over the Puget Sound area for the least expensive parts they could find. When they were faced with a bit of a problem concerning rust on a gas tank seal, they double-checked with a technician on the east coast who sees more rusty cars as to the right way to handle the problem. At one point I even called my mechanic back home to see what a similar repair would cost me there, and he verified what Bryans was charging me, saying hed probably charge the same. Bryans hourly labor cost is higher than what I am used to at home, but on the whole I cant complain about that because all the work was done right and done well the first time. Often the parts were the largest expense, not the labor. They even gave me a break on one of their computer diagnostic charges. Towards the end, there was one final repair that had to meet the deadline of me returning to WNY, and they came through. When I left Lacey for home, I drove the car five days over 2600 miles, 8 hours a day, and no problems.So despite the deep pain in my wallet, I am very grateful to have found Bryans and have them do the repairs. I cant imagine there is a better auto repair shop in the greater Olympia area. They did not take advantage of my out-of-state status, they were super-friendly, and worked with me to keep my costs as low as possible. If I lived in Lacey, I would give them all my auto repair business. They rock-n-roll!
This is a very honest garage, and they take great care of their customers.
Helpful knowledgeable staff. Compatible prices. Good mechanics
I am a fairly new customer, but I will be a long-term customer. My experience started with a referral by a friend for some work on my Infinity. I was so pleased that when another friend was about to get hit with a huge repair bill by national chain shop, I referred him the Bryans.Instead of $$$$$ for a replacement part that couldnt be fixed, Bryans not only fixed it, it was fixed at less than 1/2 the price quoted by the national chain. After that experience, no doubt in my mind where I was bringing my car for service.Friendly, knowledgeable staff, courtesy rides, senior discount on labor and great work. Yeah, Ill be back.
The employees are extremely friendly and knowledge. They have always managed to fix our cars, no matter what the problem, in a timely and affordable manner. Thank you for years of great work!
Did a great job installing fog lights on my car.
I have been taking my car to Bryans Automotive for years. I will not take it anywhere else. I have always had any problem diagnosed correctly and fixed right the first time. They are aboveboard and I have never left their shop with a feeling of being ripped off or pressured in any way. They are a friendly, professional, quality establishment. They rate an A+ in my book.
These guys are the greatest, as is there service. Very trustworthy, skilled, and they go the extra mile to get the job done right. Have been going to Bryans Auto for well over 20 years and still keep going back, which speaks to their great workmanship and cusomter satisfaction. Thanks, you guys.
Weve been taking our cars to Bryan for years, and when our 3 year-old started her cancer treatments in Seattle, one of our cars needed some repairs to make the trip back & forth. Bryan fixed us up - and didnt charge us. Well forever be grateful, it meant the world to us. Thank you, Bryan, for amazing and honest service - and taking care of us like family.
Ive been a resident of Washington for five years. On my arrival, I needed auto service-luckaly my first stop was Bryans. I met Josh Napper (Front Desk). This young-man impressed me GREATLY. So I can say: Im a repeat customer. Just this week: 10 July 2010, I had a problem that could have taken months ot get a part/cost $700. plus to fix. Josh and I put our thinking-caps on-found a SURE FIRE fix, what a saving!!! Josh, T.J., Chris and Techs Youal Are STUPENDOUS.
Came here because the Dupont Jiffy Lube stripped my oil pan plug a few days before we were to PCSd. The folks at Bryan’s we’re extremely helpful, they gave me a ride home after dropping off the car. Turns out the oil pan needed replacing, they took care of it quickly. Great guys, wish I would’ve used them more.
Brian’s automotive told me I needed anew engine which would have cost between $6k to $8k.Got second opinion and all I needed was new water pump which cost $500. For pump, drive belts & coolant.
94 Corvette had a bad condenser and Bryans did a fine job of installing a new one. Appreciate that you are an AC-Delco service, appreciate that Capitol Corvettes highly recommends you, and appreciate that you are only 4 miles from the house! Store location and services available are very attractive to us.
Excellent service, free shuttle ride home and great prices. Same day fix on my car. Runs great!
Just back from an oil change. We have taken our cars to Bryans Automotive for years. Quality people, excellent service and fair prices...we trust these guys!! I recommend them highly!!
