Love this place. Always super nice and they always take great care of my car

Fast, transparent and high quality service. My cars run well despite their age thanks to them maintaining. You have to do your job to bring your vehicle in when due for service

Family-owned, honest, and hard working shop that goes above and beyond! After seeing recommendations on the NextDoor app, I brought my 01 Lexus IS300 there to replace my water pump and timing belt. I knew of a specific timing belt/water pump repair kit in mind (AISIN) but didnt want to go through the trouble and delays of requesting it. When I got the car back, I saw that they had used that kit and not a generic brand, I also noticed they fixed my rigid steering issue and my broken trunk cable that has been annoying me for years (as I had to shut off the car, and manually open the trunk with my key). These are side issues I never told them about, but I guess they found them, went ahead and fixed them for me without letting me know. There could be other issues theyve fixed I might not know about. This goes to show their care and dedication for each car and to treat it like their own - to use the highest quality parts, and to uphold the integrity of cars new or old. I will refer all my friends here and never go to any other auto mechanic than Lioes.

My family and I have worked with Lioes for several years now and cant recommend them enough. They do solid work. Plus I appreciate how personable their team is and that they are a longstanding part of this neighborhood. Also they never BS like you like some other auto repair shops.

Lioes is the only place I go! Trustworthy, fast, affordable, and they dont try to oversell you on things you dont need. Highly recommend.

Ive been taking my car to Lioes for almost 15 years. Theyre really honest, and explain what is need clearly without trying to upsell

Trustworthy and reliable. While other mechanics simply gave me a quote for the work, Lioes told me straight-up that these repairs werent worth doing unless the car was my baby. Ill be a customer here for a long time coming! Also very friendly!

Great service and super friendly to my kids. My boys get a toy car or candy everytime we go in. Plus it is within walking distance to our house.

Honest mechanic. You can drop off your car and have piece of mind that they will do honest work at a reasonable fee.

Just had my AC inspected and serviced at Lioes after being recommended this place by the dealer I bought my car from. They had everything done within a few hours and my AC is now gloriously cool once more. Thank you! :-)

Ive been coming here since 2001 because this family run business is honest, fast, and they do a great job on cars. Ive brought some difficult to diagnose weird problems and they always figure it out somehow. Close to the light rail and after hours arrangement for pick up.

This place is fantastic. Its taken forever to find a reliable, trustworthy mechanic in Seattle. Lioes is that place. Theyre reliable, theyre transparent, theyre fast, and theyre reasonably priced. We had a recurring issue for months, so the mechanics at Lioes took our car in for a week and didnt rest until they could fully understand the issue. Once they had a holistic grasp of the situation, they came up with a solution and continuously tested it until it stopped resurfacing. This kind of service is unheard of from the average shop. Lioes is a gem. I wont waste my time and money anywhere else from now on.

Solid Positive experience all around

My car needed major work (complete fuel line replacement). Was recommended this shop and im glad I brought my car here. Upfront about costs and they did a great job. Would definitely come back for other work.

For over ten years I have searched for the right place to being my vehicles and Lioes is it! Friendly, knowledgeable, down to earth, affordable and very respecting of women!

The best mechanic Ive worked with in Seattle. particularly great with high milage Japanese vehicles.

Outstanding service with thorough expertise and delightful friendliness.

It’s always hard to find a shop you trust but you can rest assured you’ll be taken care of here. Everyone is super friendly, taking the time explain to you the work being done and providing you with options. Definitely recommend them.

Horrible experience, went there to replace headlight and told me $35, once they were done they gave me the receipt for $67.50! Then they gave me a “discount” where it was $51.20! I told them it was too much then they answered me in a rude manner.

They always close early. We called ahead to inform them we would drop our car off before they closed. And they said that would be fine. We drove all the way to their shop and they were closed. It was 15 minutes before their closing time. Their service is not the best, and their punctuality is terrible. Don’t bring your car here.

They are very good quick and honest.

I Choose cheap one Oil change 52.3$ is too high. Last time I got oil change in other car shop is 40$ . I just move to Seattle, in nyc oil change just 30$ with good oil brand.

These guys are great! Took my car in for a simple safety check and oil change and was treated with such happy kindness! And they were quick to get my car going, and straightforward about everything.

Great value. They tell it to you straight. Always had a good experience here.

Ive been taking my Nissan and Toyota cars to Lioes for 15 years. Theyve been consistently solid with their work. And theyre reasonable.

My family has been taking our cars here for years! They have great service and its a nice atmosphere. They wont steal your change, fix broken things, overcharge you, or sugarcoat situations for you. All prices are reasonable. And if they cant perform a service for you they can recommend you to an equally reputable company. I highly recommend that you call ahead of time! Even for an oil change!

They charged me $700 to replace the alternator on my car. Alternators generally run for $100-$200. Worst part is, they didnt even fix the problem. My car broke down again a week later. The battery cables werent connected properly. It was pretty obvious. I had to get it repaired again. How do you not notice that for $700?

Had my oil changed here because it was the closest place to my house and am so happy I did. They were fast and reasonably priced. Actually referred my sister here. If I have any other issues Ill certainly go back.

My gear-head father instilled in me a skepticism about all auto mechanics, and I remain somewhat skeptical. However, I started taking my vehicles to Lioes over 10 years ago and have never had reason not to trust Kenny or the staff at Lioes. From my Mini Cooper S and my Corolla, to my Forester and trucks, Ive paid them plenty of money in 10 years, but have always been satisfied with the service. I left Beacon Hill a couple years ago to live in the foot hills east of Issaquah and tried a few other mechanics nearby, but most left me pretty underwhelmed and wishing Id gone to Lioes. I just recently brought my business back to Lioes; 10 years of earned trust is worth the extra drive for me.

Very reasonable prices, informative about future needs for your car. If I lived in a different part of Seattle I would drive here anyway. Cant recommend enough.

We were having an alternator problem when we passed by the city. We went to the auto shop and it was almost 6 pm. The owners helped us to contact car rental and provided us all the possible solutions. I really appreciate their help. Thank you so so much.

I love this place: super efficient, good quality, nice!

Theyre very busy and that is for a reason but its been hit or miss- when theres something complicated like a stalling issue- they clean the manifold then charge you $100 and send you on your way saying they dont know, when it could be the fuel pump.... being said Ive spent thousands of dollars there.old man lioe is letting his sons take over, definitely experts on Japanese/ asian import car

Cheap prices so far, but you get what you pay for.In short: Ive brought my vehicle to repair my drivers door, that was locked, totally. Turned out it was broken latch-mechanism inside that they changed. It works, but... HOW CAN YOU MISS DAMN LOCK-CYLINDER THAT WAS PUSHED IN AND ALMOST FALL INTO DAMN DOOR, WHERE YOU JUST MADE REPAIR? NO NOTICE, NO DETAILS, NOTHING. When I brought my car in next couple days to figure out whats going on they proposed me to drop the vehicle with them, theyll look and give an estimate. Sounds like a double charge, ha? Crappy service, irresponsible management.

I brought my car into Lioes 10/16/2014. I suspected that my breaks needed changing. I dropped my car off to be worked on and they called me to say that indeed the breaks needed to be changed. I agreed to this service, paid the amount asked ($369.02). I received a printed receipt from Lioes describing: 1) Front brakes 100%, Rear brakes 60-70%. And was told my car was good to go with no further verbal or written instructions for future repair notes. It is now 11/26/2014. Ive noticed a loud screeching noise again coming from what I believed to be my breaks. I take it back into Lioes to see if they can assist with finding and/or fixing the problem. They instruct me that the screeching noise is now coming from my rear breaks and that to fix it they will have to replace my rotors, calipers, and pads, and that because I waited so long (its been a month) to bring the car back, that it is going to cost me $760.00. I was misled to believe, just a little over a month ago, my car was in fine and safe working condition. I find it nearly impossible to believe that my breaks could go from 60-70% one month to metal on metal grinding the next. I fear that my life was put at a risk by this automotive service withholding very important mechanical information that I entrusted in them to provide for me. I should not have been told that my rear breaks were at 60-70% last month, and then now come to find out they are completely in non-working condition. Had I been told this initially, I would have paid 10/16 for my rear breaks to fixed as well as the front. I am now being charged extra to fix a problem that should have already been taken care of. I did not ask for them only fix my front breaks. I asked for them to fix and replace anything that needed to be fixed concerning the breaks- for my safety- and they did not. The reason why I bring my car to a mechanic is because I lack the knowledge needed to identify or fix this problems myself. It is their job as a automotive business to tell me, the customer, what I need for my car to be safe on the road. Had I been offered or even told that my rear breaks were in such condition I would have had them replaced that very day. But no such thing was told to me. I believe this was done to put me in this exact situation- where I am now paying hundreds of dollars more for a service that could have been prevented only a month ago. They were totally unwilling to give any kind of discount for their wrong doings and my inconvenience. Despite the other reviews, this place is dishonest, unprofessional, and inexperienced in their field to say the least. Lastly, as a woman I hate when I am treated differently by men in the automotive community. This place will try (and succeed) at taking advantage of you if you bring your car here. If you want to be spoken to in a condescending manner and straight up LIED to and charged exorbitant prices for their mistakes, by all means bring your automobile to Lioes.

I really appreciate their honesty and integrity. I have received good advice from them that was really in my interest, not theirs. Quick turnaround and nice people.

I highly recommend Lioes Automotive!!! Very skilled, effecient, friendly.I took my car in for an inspection, and they were extremely knowledgabe and helpful. I absolutely trust them with my cars. They were pretty busy (on a Friday), but a popular auto shop is a good sign. EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!

Always get my Truck right! Very reliable family business

Dropping the car off was a weird experience, but these guys were able to diagnose and quickly repair the issue with my car - and it didnt cost an arm and a leg. Very affordable and, while I hope to never have to come back (fingers crossed), will use them for my motor work in the future.

These people know what theyre doing and they are very good at what they do. Very trustworthy.

Very fair pricing, extremely knowledgeable. Very pleasant to do business with.

Honest, reliable and friendly. Lioes has our trust.

Lioes was the last repair shop I had been to besides the dealer, only to find out later that my navigation DVD was missing!! I should have checked the car when picking it up. Never would I return to this shop! They even overcharged me $10 plus dollars and claimed itd be totally legal as per the law?! Not even the dealer would have done that. They wowed me in the wrong way.

Took my 89 land cruiser in for an oil change, they did really good work. Also found a malfunctioning oxygen sensor, they called for permission and fixed it quickly. Nothing but positives in dealing with them.

These guys are great. Always do a good job and fast.

I normally call ahead before bringing my vehicle in.Reasonable rates. Fast, good service.

Great for cheap quick tire patch ups.

Fast and friendly service! And excellent workmanship!

THIS SHOP HAS HELD MY ELDERLY MOTHERS CAR HOSTAGE FOR TWO WEEKS WITHOUT GIVING HER AN ESTIMATE. THEY HAVE BEEN RUDE AND DISMISSIVE OF HER WHEN SHE HAS TRIED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON AND WONT GIVE HER THE CAR BACK, CLAIMING THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE PART. IN A WORLD OF OVERNIGHT SHIPPING FROM ANYWHERE, THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!BEWARE

Best auto service and repair ever! They are fast, reliable and most importantly honest!!!

Best independent repair shop in the city.

My car wouldnt start, when I finally got it going drove straight to Lioes where the got me right in diagnosed and in a new battery 20 minutes later. They rock!

A friend turned me on to them, and Im now turning my friends on to them.

Quick, honest,affordable.

Honest and capable

Great service
