I also dont trust mechanics, haha. The owner is a really cool dude and everyone here is wonderful and super friendly. Gives good advice on taking care of your car too. Didnt think Id ever find such an honest shop.

I don’t trust mechanics. My check engine light came on and my car was running rough. I took it in at 8am. They called me back within an hour to tell me the issues and estimate. As soon as I gave the ok for the work they called me back that day and said it was ready. The gentleman I dealt with was kind, communicative, funny and very pleasant to deal with. I actually felt comfortable and safe leaving my car. They are wonderful and I tell everyone to take their vehicles here.

I needed help getting my new battery installed in my car, and the owner was so honest and upfront and didn’t over charge me for doing such a quick job. He was kind, quick and affordable. Even the folks at Starbucks across the street had a glowing review about Dan and his team, saying they won’t go anywhere else for mechanical work. As a woman, I 100% trust this place for any future work I need done.

I drive from Downtown Bellevue to get my car worked on here. Ive been to many mechanics, and Ive never been somewhere that truly cares about the people that walk in the door as much as this place. Efficient, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable. Theyre all amazing and truly masters of their craft! Thank you !

Review №18

Been bringing my vehicles to Dan since 2015 and my only regret was not knowing about his shop much sooner. He’s very knowledgeable and a straight shooter! He will tell you what you need performed and doesn’t upsell you on unnecessary work like far too many of his competitors do. He and his staff are professional and most importantly make those repairs correct the first time. You won’t need to worry about bringing your vehicle back for the same problem. Honest -Competitive pricing for all services. You will be a happy customer afterwards!

Best, most honest mechanic around. I drive 30 min just to see Dan. Everything I’ve repaired here was at a good, reasonable price. No matter who you are, he will help you. We need more mechanics like him!!

My experience here has surpassed my expectation of a transparent, communicative, and honest mechanic. I had my first major car complication recently and it was cared for brilliantly by Community. They truly will do their best to solve the vehicles issues and genuinely care. Thats what you want out of a service shop.

Review №27

Dan was so friendly and made me feel at home immediately. Not only did he do the oil change my 4Runner needed but also was helpful with other issues it needed without any of the typical hard sell tactics that other garages practice. His garage was just the right amount of clean and his staff very friendly. Normally a review would end there but Dan was an absolute pleasure to talk with and in no time at all was sharing his really cool 3D art and I was showing my art pix. Its so rare to have a mechanic be so personable and even more rare to give me several of his 3D printed pieces....WOW!!! I can hardly wait for something else needing maintenance on my 4Runner...thanks,Ron

Dan is a great mechanic! Professional. Took my 2014 chrysler voyager for an oil change. He also has some 3D print arts he showed me which were pretty nice looking and can be bought for decoration. I recommend this place to everyone.

Far and away my favorite shop. Stellar service, the greatest and sweetest manager/owner, quick, reasonably priced, doesn’t charge for the easy little fixes if you came in for something else. He also makes very cool 3D printed art. A neighbor fave for sure!

Review №37

Amazing customer service and I left feeling 100% confident that this guy knows what hes talking about. A lot of mechanics talk down or are too busy to explain the whats and whys, however at Community Automotive, he explained everything. Prices are fair, the work is solid and I would highly recommend this mechanic. He did such a good job at a reasonable price that Im bringing my other vehicle in next week when Im off work.

Review №38

Dan is The Man! I fully trust this shop to do any repair on my vehicle. I often do the work on my vehicles myself, but when I dont have the time, knowledge, or tools I take it to Community. Theyll give you an honest quote before they start work and let you know if they see anything else that needs attention once they get in there. It is great to have a local shop you can trust at prices that are affordable. Take your vehicle to Community, you wont be sorry. Absolute five star rating.

Review №39

Dan is great! Ive brought my car to him before and hes always managed to fit me in and hes upfront and honest. This weekend my car suddenly stopped running, no reason for it. I knew he was open on Saturday so called to see if I could have it towed to him so he could look at it on Monday. I fully expected that he wouldnt be at the shop when we got there since it was after 5 pm. Not only was he there but he was gracious and told me not to worry hed get it fixed. Not only did he get it fixed but he did it on Sunday instead of waiting till Monday. Hes honest, friendly, funny and Id recommend him highly to anyone!

The owner, Dan is an honest and hardworking mechanic. Not only did he diagnose my car, he waited an hour and a half after closing for the part to arrive so he could install it and make sure i went home with my car that night. Dan is honest, and gets straight to the point. He told me the issue in my car and told me after fixing it, the car will run perfectly fine. And it did. Thanks to Dan and Carlos for providing excellent customer service and going above and beyond. i highly recommend these guys.

The best auto shop I have EVER been to! I brought my truck in based on the reviews and I was not disappointed. Dan was extremely kind, helpful and transparent about the prices. I walked away feeling extremely good about the work done and didnt have to spend an enormous amount of money. I will definitely be a returning customer and recommending to everyone I know

Review №46

EXCELLENT MECHANIC!!!! I first heard about this mechanic shop from one of my friends. He got his oil changes & work done on his car by DAN from community automotive! I first began to bring my 2012 MERCEDES C250 FOR OIL CHANGES. When i first got there, DAN the owner, his hospitality was great! Kind, straight forward type of guy. He quotes you right in front of his computer, Types in all the parts needed for the job, tells you exactly what will be done & how long itll take & of course how much including labor tax & part tax.Thats amazing! MY car after the oil changes just riding so smooth & job was well done! I was a happy customer. I recently had a major coolant Leak on my Mercedes, I brought my car to DAN & his crew & 2 days later, my car was ready to hit the road! he would of had my car the next day in the afternoon but Mercedes had to ship out the parts overnight. BUT 2 days is GREAT! specially since i needed my car for school & work! I CAN VOUCH for DAN & HIS CREW, theyre a great crew! i have finally found my go to mechanic from now on. I finally found an honest mechanic who wont run you for your money!! THANKS DAN! for your hard & honest work!

These guys are awesome. Dan, the owner, was more than helpful to us. Our car had more than one problem popping up at us when we had taken it to him. His team did the job quickly and did not upcharge. Very fair pricing and honest friendly service. Highly recommended.From Habesha.

Best mechanic in town (Dan). Fixed my car, no problems. Price is good.

Review №50

Took my truck in because the A/C was blowing cool air instead of cold. Dan called to let me know it would be over $700 to bring the A/C up to factory spec which was more than Im was willing to spend given the age of the vehicle. He agreed and we settled on cleaning and recharging the system. A/C is working much better and Dan would only accept $85 even though I told him his time was worth more. He said in a community we take care of each other. Will be returning there if the need arises.

I had a great experience with these guys. Dan was upfront and honest with us, very knowledgeable, and saved us money we didnt need to spend. Very friendly and helpful. We did not have any work done here, so I cant actually rate their service, but as soon as I have any work that isnt covered by my warranty, they will be my first choice.

Review №56

Dan and his team are the epitome of professionalism and class. Too many mechanics are thieves and prey on the fact that most people dont know about automotive stuff, but Dan makes sure to tell you everything that he sees and will thoroughly explain things to you whether you need work done or not. I took my 2002 Ford Explorer elsewhere and was told I needed $1,700 in repairs. Dan not only looked at the same parts, but told me I didnt need any work done at the moment, saving me literally thousands.I respect any business that could easily take money from people but doesnt. Dan and his crew have my business for life.

Review №63

Dan is the nicest guy. I called about my car and he gave me a few options to try before having to bring my car in. I thought that was so nice of him, although those things didnt work already he tried. Most people wouldve said to bring it in no matter what so they can make money off of you. I brought my car in at closing and was ready for pick up a few hours after opening the next morning. The price was also a lot less than I thought it would be. I would definitely come back and refer others there

Review №64

This should always be your very first call. Amazingly honest, very very fair pricing and will tell you if its not a repair type their good at. Its almost impossible to find places like this. Give these folks the first look a any auto issue youre having. If they can fix it the price will be more than reasonable and the speed of service exceptional. Ive go an old 72 chevy truck that needs all sort of little fixes to make it great. I look forward to having this shop do the work.

I live about 20 minutes away from this place and I will always come to this shop for any repairs I need. The owner is honest, fair and has exceptional customer service. This place is seriously one of the best if not the best automotive service business in this area. There is a starbucks right across the street in case you want to get coffee and surf the web while you wait. I moved here from out of state and came here on a whim. Im glad I did.

Dan is a great mechanic. He is honest and charges a fair price. As a woman it is very hard to find a mechanic that you can trust and doesnt treat you like a total idiot. Dan does not sell you on parts and services you do not need. He shows you what the problem is and what he done after completing the job. Dan takes pride in his work and the reputation of his shop. I have recommended him to my friends multiple times. He is great.

Review №72

I am extremely disappointed with the lack of care you have for your customers and their property. When I left my daughters car in their care handing them the key I trusted that any personal items she had in the car would still be there when we retrieved the car. When they weren’t we were told they have no responsibility WHAT? So the cases of juice for the kid just gone. My 6yo granddaughters unicorn purse she got for Christmas full of change is gone. A few other things but whatever right? This was a families car that was broke down and brought to this place for repair and theft. Way to go.

Review №73

I wasnt sure where to go...but after reading the reviews for this shop I decided to take in my Trailblazer I recently bought. Feeling I got burned for my recent purchase I was happy to get my car fixed with no major issues. My car was fixed the same day! But I was grossly overpriced for services. 716$ For thermostat, flush & oil change. He may seem like a nice guy but beware!

Review №77

A few days back I got a $1600 estimate for work needing done related to the “front suspension and steering gear & linkage”. This estimate was from a place I’ve gone to for car work and trusted, they replaced my right control arm a few months back. Took it to Dan today by chance for an inspection and another estimate — turns out it was just an obvious loose screw and took less than a minute to fix once found. Funny enough, that loose screw was in that control arm I had put in at the other place. I saved a ton of money and stress! Wonderful and friendly customer service. Dan didn’t even charge for the $85 inspection fee! Will not be going anywhere else for car work!!

Review №84

Firstly, Im a small business owner and I rely on my work van to feed my family. That being said, I started having issues with the van so I called Dan after seeing the reviews for his shop. He listened patiently and gave me some advice to try and said to bring it in at 7am the following day if the problem persisted. I estimated my repair would be between $500-$1000. I followed his advice and what do you know, fixed my problem for 15 bucks. I still came in the following morning, grateful, insisting on paying him a diagnosis fee at the least, which he politely refused. I cant remember the last time i met a truly honest person who isnt looking to take advantage of someone for profit, not to mention obviously skilled as he diagnosed my issue over the phone. All of my familys vehicles will be going here moving forward. What a blessing to those of us in the Burien area.

Excellent service, had my 2003 Rav4 ignition coils replaced. Was quoted by another mechanic at 2-3 hrs, $160 - ridiculous (labor only, I had bought the coils already). Dan charged less than a third of the price, for the .6 hr labor it actually took, which was the exact quote he estimated over the phone. Honest guy, great pricing, customer service, and communication. Thanks Dan! Will be back again for sure!
