Was referred here by a friend - never regretted it! First place that didnt completely give me a run for my money. Always honest and upfront - professional and will never tell you something is broken that isnt.
I have gone here for 15 years. They are awesome and keep my car running!
Gave me a quote 200+ more than the average at 450. Decided to DIY, cost me less than 100. Idk if it’s because I have a femme voice or what but this is that kind of shop ig
Theyre fabulous! So sweet squeezing me in just before the holidays. They also identified another issue I had been worried about and told elsewhere wasnt anything but actually is a big deal if left unchecked. Ill be bringing my business here from now on.
There are very few places that you go to and know immediately that you are being treated fairly and honestly. You get this when you choose Specialty Motors. Dustin is the best in every way. Honest, ethical and fair and his work is meticulous. He makes sure every car leaves his shop in great shape and as a customer, I have the confidence that the work was done with absolute perfection. There is no place better to send your cars.
Excellent service.Very friendly atmosphere.
Weve been using Specialty Motors for a few years now and they are fantastic. Its so great to have a mechanic shop we can trust. Dustin runs the place and is a straight shooter. He keeps us informed and only does what we ask without trying to hussle us into additional unneeded work. They are prompt, honest, reliable and give me a vacuumed car back! They have long term customers right here!
I have been going to Specialty Motors since 2011 for my Honda Civic, and I am so grateful to have a shop that I can 100% trust. They have taken great care of my car, and look for ways to save me money. Their staff is highly competent, working quickly and I have never had to take my car back for a misdiagnosed problem. I have left the Seattle area, but I still take my car to Specialty Motors for any tune-ups or fixes I have.
Zero stars from me. I had an appointment two weeks in advanced for 8 am oil change today. Brought it in and was told one of his guys didnt come in, so he couldnt do it. No problem. We negotiated that I would come back at 4 pm, not a minute later, and he would do it. I was downtown for an appointment and I rushed back uptown to be there even before 4. He refused to do it because of bad interaction in the morning. He was right about that! He was so aggressive and hostile in the am when I was there, I didnt really want to come back. I was tired from a 2 day cross country trip and was fasting for blood tests, so I probably wasnt as sharp as I should have been, but instead of treating me like a new, potentially valued customer, he shouted at me, acted like I was dumb (you should drive your car more, hybrids need that; I just smiled and shrugged and said, ?well, I drive as much as I drive! -- he got hostile, said he was just trying to help me . . . . . There were other exchanges like that). I dont think I would have liked this guy even on his good days, but boy, he cut me off, was hostile, completely unpleasant. Then when I broke my neck to get back uptown on time, he refuses to serve me. Probably decided to close early because of the weekend, and maybe his guy never showed up. Who knows. But gentle souls should STAY AWAY.
Great shop! Trustworthy and timely.Definitely my shop from here on out.
Really great service! Super nice staff! They really work hard to keep your car running safely and smoothly!
Awesome competent service.
I recently found this place and am so happy I did. They are friendly, available, and very fair.
Great shop and even better people. Been taking all my family’s cars there for years and will never go anywhere else. Honest and well priced. Never charge you for anything more than what you need.
Very helpful, not rushing to the most expensive option. Dustin followed up with email and phone. Was not fixed the first go around but other inexpensive option s suggested and the most expensive will be the final choice.
Jose is one of their mechanics, he does phenomenal work. He goes above and beyond to make sure your care is well taken care of.
Best auto repair place in Seattle!! Owner and staff are top notch. Honest mechanic alert!
These guys are great - very thorough - they went thru my Honda Odyssey and found lots of little issues and got them fixed up well. Great local mechanic shop in North Seattle.
Best shop in Seattle hands down. These guys have always done an amazing job at a great price.
This was a recommended spot by my friend, and they deserve less than 1 star. I dropped my car off Thursday for an inspection, Dustin tells me hed get back to me later today, and itll probably be a couple hundred. I call him later and he tells me he needs until tomorrow to do a full inspection. Okay cool.I wait all day Friday, call the owner Dean to see whats going on with my car. Turns out Dustin went skiing and decided not to notify me my car is in worse shape than they thought, so he cant give me an estimate till MONDAY. So not only do I not have my car 5 days -- but the mechanic didnt even bother to tell me my estimate until Monday. I exhbit budhist like patience and say Ok. I will wait until Monday because they have such great reviews.So its Monday. Not only did I have to call in again, but this guy Dustin quotes me from a couple hundred to $1000 for replacing nox filters, to which he assures me is a big job. Look I understand the job is more than they expected, I get that. But this company wasted my time and money without appology. I was without a car for 5 days because their mechanic went skiing, I had to cancel my OWN plans because of that. I am livid. At this point I just hope someone sees this review and excercises caution before trusting these guys like I did.
Friendly guys, super fast service, and more than reasonable prices. I don’t take my car anywhere else.
Great shop. Have been bringing my 1971 VW Kombi van here for over 15 years.
Great shop, great people. in 2015, we completed a trouble-free 10,000 mile road trip in our 1986 VW van that was gone through by Dean and his crew first in 2008 (~6,000 mile road trip that year) and has gone to them for routine maintenance ever since. Ive since moved a couple hours away from Seattle but in 2017 had to make a trip there for other reasons so I took my camper in again after a not-so-great experience with a Portland shop.They have always been upfront with me about what my cars needed (or didnt need) and never pressured me into spending money that did not need to be spent.Started with them after interviewing a number of shops for major work on our VW camper. Chose Dean and his team and do not regret it one bit. Now we take both cars there for routine stuff or whatever. They do not make unnecessary repairs, back up their work to the max, and believe in customer service.
Exceptional customer service, expert knowledge, friendly and reasonable prices.
Good, honest, and affordable. Ive been taking my cars here for over 10yrs and dont plan on going anywhere else.
Quality service from quality mechanics. I dont take my car anywhere else!
Good, honest mechanics.
Excellent
