I have never had a favorite car shop until now. These guys are great, they answered all of my questions and were so helpful. It took me less than 48 hours to get my car back and their prices were pretty good. I cannot recommend them enough
Can not say enough!!!! Best deal around on tires!!! Had my tire go flat and because it is an all wheel drive had to have all four replaced, they got me in an hour before closing time and helped me out big time! Even gave my son a nice hat! Super nice people, impressive service! Thank you so much!
This is by far the best auto shop I’ve been to. The prices are always lower then anywhere else I’ve gone to and they keep it transparent. Never had a bad experience and recommend east side auto as a first choice. Kj is a outstanding guy and the whole experience is far better then I’ve had other places. 10/10
These guys are Awesome! Took care of my flat tire and provided service at 7 am with no wait time and zero charge! I would definitely bring my car back for other services knowing that it would be in good hands. Very professional
Being from out of town, a friend recommended this location when our car broke down on 405 in Bellevue. Our vehicle presented many challenges and Eastside took care of each one of them, they excelled at effectively communicating with each repair step made along the way when we had questions.They made our vehicle roadworthy again. If I ever have to I will return for some great service. Thank you, Dan
KJ and everybody at East side were so amazing. Because of covid the parts for my car were delayed by over a week KJ put me in a rental car for 2 weeks. I think the rental cost to them was more than my car repair but they never said a word about it top notch a professional all the way
Ive used Eastside Automotive & Tire for years, and theyve always done a great job at a price thats better than other shops around me. They arent pushy, offer honest, transparent advice, and provide great service. Once, when my oil change took longer than expected, the manager told me that one was on him and did not charge me. I highly recommend them!
Ive used Eastside Automotive and Tire for 7 years and had many great experiences. I especially like that they try to accomodate my schedule, often getting me in and out on the same day. Ive been happy with the repair work and tire work previously for my old Honda and now my new Honda.
Ive been using this car service shop for many years, KJ is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, fair and clear. Highly recommend this place to anyone.
KJ and the crew were so fantastic to deal with- especially when you’re new to the area and unsure, choosing a mechanic you feel confident in is so important. They were quick with their work, and took their time explaining and showing me everything about my new-to-me car. Highly recommend without hesitation.
I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee Jan. 2020. He did my initial inspection and has fixed all issues with my Jeep. They were kind enough to drop me off at work a few blocks down the road before taking my car back to fix it. They were also kind enough with how busy were to drop my keys off at night and have it ready by the time I was off work. KJ understands good customer service and I always feel taken care of. Also, he has always beet competitors prices.
Amazing shop! Every time I go in there they are attentive and kind. They will find a way to get me in on their very busy schedule while providing honest quotes and service. I challenge you to find a better bedside manner in any shop manager other than KJ. Hes the reason we continue to come to Eastside with our vehicle needs. Thanks again guys!
Super nice service people, stayed open late for us to get our car in. They were very honest with us and could have taken us for a lot of money by telling us the car was worth fixing. Just a great experience when you always fear the worst outcome. Thank you SO MUCH for being awesome and I am glad we spontaneously decided to bring you our car.
Not many feelings in the world compare to straight forward talk from your service technician. Very professional staff and quality work for a great price. I called last Thursday knowing they would be busy for a few days. They told me it was best to drop off the car on Monday morning and they could bang it out. I go to work earlier than they open, so I was just going to after hours key drop with them in the am and call them when they open. But when I pulled in the parking lot, well before they opened, they were there, unlocked the door, and welcomed my service. And I got my car back the same day. Talk about the difference from the rest. They will always have my business.
Great Service! I called in the morning, dropped by in the afternoon, and this first time customer was out the door in less than 15 minutes. I had a headlight out and all they asked in return was for a review. With all the chaos going on in the world it was so nice to receive such a kind and quick repair. I will definitely return. Thank you Eastside Automotive!
The service must be really bad! Look at you when you walk into the store. Spent 15 minutes with everybody having a conversation and nobody wondering what I was the for…I need a tires
The team is quick and efficient. Got my car in and out within 1 day. Their work is professional and my car is working great. Kudos!!
I have always received solid service and honest recommendations. For the last decade I have trusted Del, KJ, Paul to keep my vehicles running and will continue to do so. I appreciate all you guys.
The best service!! Fast, friendly & very clean, especially during these Covid days we all live in!! Eastside automotive has unbeatable prices! (I know, I did price comprising) I would not trust my vehicle to be serviced anywhere else BUT EASTSIDE AUTOMOTIVE & TIRE ON NE 85th in Kirkland. Don’t throw your money away any where else!
Extremely awesome auto repair shop. We were in visiting from NYC and urgently needed a relatively quick repair. Called around to 10 places, including the big names, everyone told us multi-hour wait times. At Eastside, the extremely friendly owner, KJ, offered to do their best (by phone). When we showed up, he right away knew who we were, was super gracious, and the technician who did our repair, did a fast and good job and went above and beyond ensuring all our tires had proper pressure.Highly recommend!
While they weren’t able to find my issue they did test drive it, check for safety issues, and test drove it again with me. They probably put in 2-3 hours of work and didn’t charge me anything because we couldn’t reproduce the issue. Them checking the front for safety issues even though they couldn’t reproduce the issue really made me appreciate them and want to give them my business when it happens fully.
I had a problem with my daughters carbon canister at her school which is not far from Dels shop. I took it over there near closing and he jumped on it straight away to take a look. We left it overnight and he completed the repair by the middle of the next day which involved some soldering etc. I went to pick it up and was expecting a bill for a few hundred bucks. He didnt charge me anything and with that gesture he has bought my business for as long as I live in Washington!!!
Took my G35 here, they did a great job on the repairs and were extremely helpful. They even sent me home with a few quarts of oil for free because they were aware of the car’s oil burning problems. Amazing place, 10/10
Went in for a set of new tires. Great customer service! They ordered new tires and got me out in the same day as a walk in.
I could go on and on about how amazing KJ and his crew are. Honest. Cheap. Kind. Professional. I’ve been going here for six years and I always am SUPREMELY happy with my experience there.Thing is, I will randomly chat with people in the neighborhood about who a good mechanic is and they bring KJ’s name up, regularly.I can not recommend Eastside auto highly enough. I will never go anywhere else.
My wife picked up a nail in her tire and was going flat fast. Called them right before closing time and even super busy had me in and out within 20min and fixed for free. KJ was extremely polite and nice to deal with. Will definitely be coming back. Quickest I have even been through a tire shop.
Great experience. No nonsense, straight forward. Del was great. These guys are busy because they are honest and good.
Thanks to the team at Eastside Automotive for their amazing help getting my car back in shape! Fantastic service from KJ and the crew.
Excellent customer service! I arrived and spoke with “KJ”, the service manager. I needed to repair a tire and everything was ready in less than 10 minutes with no charge. What can I say ? I could even rate my experience with more than 5 stars. I definitely give the top rating!
These guys are the real deal. Honest, knowledgable and customer service centric auto experts. Theyve done a few jobs for me and my 69 Chevelle SS396 and done it on time, on budget and with great care. Del is a Pro and a great guy. Ditch the repair guys who are giving you the run around and get your car into Eastside Auto.
Ask for Khajag! By far one of the most honest, generous, and forthright auto mechanics Ive had the pleasure to work with. Khajag always looks for ways to help me out every time I come into the shop and is a ton of fun to chat with to boot! Highly recommend Eastside Auto.
Been taking stuff to the shop for years. Love KJ and the crew and there. Always fair and honest.
As someone who is pretty intimidated anytime I have to get my car worked on, I cannot recommend Eastside more. Ive been using them for over a year and they are consistently kind, helpful and reasonable. They take the time to explain everything going on and are extremely helpful when recommending what to do. Being able to drop my car off and not having to worry is such a valuable quality in a mechanic shop and never feeling like they are taking advantage of my ignorance makes so that I will be a customer for life. Cant recommend them enough.
These guys are amazing! First of all, they are competent. I tried to fix an issue with my breaks for a long time and services before the Eastside couldnt figure it out. Second of all, they are super booked but they will try their best to squize you in and do whatever is possible fix your car on time. Third, the warrany. They provide a warranty on any work they do and respect that if the warrany case occurs. Finally, the management and personal approach to customers. They are transparent with all their estimates and budgets, they are super firendly and will try to help you as much as they can. Special shout out to KJ, great guy and super manager!
KJ and crew saved our bacon today when we were having car trouble and hoping to get back on the road tonight. There were able to take a look and got us on the road again in a couple hours.
KJ and his team were very quick and helpful. Highly recommended
Honest, knowledgeable and reliable at a fair price. Would not hesitate to refer a friend or family member to them.
Great customer service, honest and knowledgeable. I had a slow leak in one of my tires. Took it to Pep Boys and they told me my tires were shot and I needed to replace them all. Eastside Automotive rotated and repaired the tire (nail) at no charge. I highly recommend them for all your automotive needs. Thanks Eastside Automotive!!
Thought I had brake fluid leak in my Honda, and they quickly turned it around and diagnose the problem. Very responsible and friendly, will come back here if I have any other car related problems in the future
Eastside Automotive & Tire helped us out when we were looking to buy a used car. They fully examined the car and gave us honest feedback to *not* purchase the used car. Instead, they gave us contact for a different dealership and we were very happy with our purchase. The best part is that they didnt even charge us for their services. KJ was so friendly and personable!
My husband and I have taken our cars here a few times for oil changes and general maintenance issues with our cars. They are always very helpful and call to confirm pricing of things before they do the work, so you are not surprised with a big bill that you werent expecting. They do great work in a timely fashion. We will definitely keep coming back!
This place is the real deal. Responsive. Professional. And they do great work. If you need help with your car, call these guys.
Excellent service st a reasonable price.
Went here to get car starting problems fixed. Technician was able to identify the problem just with symptoms. Very friendly and explains the problem like a true engineer. Reasonable pricing and easily 15% less than what authorized service center quoted me.
Very professional and always willing to go above and beyond! KJ and the team will communicate and do the job right every time. Best shop around hands down.
These guys are the best! They are very good at what they do, honest and efficient. This is one of those rare auto service place where I can be confident as a customer that my auto needs are addressed correctly and I will not be taken advantage of.
Trustworthy, professional, and courteous - Eastside Automotive is the rare shop that embodies all three qualities. Del, KJ and the team provide top quality service, whether its something as simple as an oil change or as complex as re-doing the wiring after rats build a nest in your engine (as happened to me). I cant recommend these guys enough.
This is the best place! Came in with my BMW X5 and they helped me with my brake problems. Very reasonable and accommodating and would highly recommend taking your car here
On Easter Sunday our Subaru Outback suddenly started flashing multiple dashboard lights... and to make matters worse, we were planning to drive home to eastern WA on Tuesday.Our friends recommended Eastside Automotive, so we took our car there first thing Monday morning. The owner, KJ, was professional and knowledgeable. His schedule was packed but he kindly made time to run a diagnostic, determine what was wrong, and reassure us that although we definitely needed to get a few things fixed, none of them were urgent and we could still safely make the 5 hr drive home on Tuesday. Thanks for taking such great care of us!
I had a road issue with a tire a few months back and limped into Eastside Automotive. KJ took care of my tire problem right away and I was back on the road within 20 minutes. When it was time to replace tires on my car, I returned and was impressed by both the professionalism and the efficiency. I obtained new tires with alignment in about 70 minutes and all was done perfectly and at a reasonable price. There are a lot of places to buy tires, but it is hard to find this high level of friendliness and competence.
Eastside Automotive has not only knowledgeable and trustworthy mechanics but some of the best costumer service Ive experienced. I have tried many other service stations around this area and this place, by far, has been the best. They stand behind their work and I have personal experience of their willingness to do whats in the best interest of their customers even if that means less $ for them. Im very grateful for this team. Thank you Eastside Automotive and Tire!
My tire was in need of repair ASAP and the Service Manager KJ was able to get me in quickly at the last minute. Everyone I worked with was friendly and informative and I feel so grateful to have a local business that I can support and can help me when I need it.
I love coming to Eastside! They are fast and proficient, while always making sure that my needs are met. They take the time to go over everything with me after my visit (as I know nothing about cars) and help me to understand what is wrong. The staff is also very nice and friendly, which is much appreciated!
I discovered I had a flat tire and called while driving there to see if I could bring in my vehicle - although it was a very busy Saturday, they saw me almost immediately, replaced my tire and sent me on my way in less than 30 minutes. Friendly staff who were quite literally running back and forth to make sure customers had quick and efficient service. Will definitely come back for any future vehicle concerns!
Awesome customer service…. Thank you KJ.
I needed my coolant changed out so i decided to call up Eastside Automotive & Tire, that was the best decision I’ve made in a while. The guys were very friendly, fast and professional. Left with a good deal and i had my car back very fast!
Great service and nice, friendly guys! This location is by far one of the best and reasonably priced auto repairs in the region. They treat customers with respect. Highly recommend this place.
Great service, good prices and solid work. KJ is incredibly helpful and provides excellent customer service. Nice to find a professional trustworthy shop!
Went to Eastside Automotive for some tires on my mustang, KJ helped me out right away and got me the tires I needed installed and done fast. Very great place if you don’t know much they will help you make the right choice with a great price and friendly staff! Definitely recommend
I get regular oil changes here. Always great service, never had any issues.
Excellent customer service!!! I feel I can trust them, which is a big plus being a female that doesnt know much about cars!! KJ, the manager is GREAT!!
Very friendly and helpful. Was recommended by a tow company to take my car here instead of the dealership and saved a pretty penny. They do offer loaner vehicles as well.
The manager and employees are awesome, friendly and professional people. My entire family are happy with their service. Mr KJ Tavitian is treating his customers with respect and taking good care of them.
The team here is the best and ive always had a great experience. KJ always takes excellent care of us. The prices are reasonable and the quality of work can’t be beat !
I trust with my car repair & maintenance with Eastside Automotive. KJ & his team are great. They always advise what is right for the customer. I have been visiting them for over 5 years and follow their recommendation. They always give best price with quality as compared to other places. I recommended to my friends too!
Took my bmw in for an oil change, very fast service and the price was lower than any other shop in the area. They also checked my brakes and tires too. Highly recommend!
KJ and his team did a great job on an alignment for my vehicle, in and out in a timely fashion. Would highly recommend.
When my girlfriends car started having engine trouble, she immediately called KJ, Service Manager at Eastside Automotive & Tire. She had prior service experience with him and spoke very highly of him. Everything KJ did went above and beyond expectations. He found time to work on her car despite short notice, shopped around to get the best deal he could on the required parts, and explained everything clearly and calmly to help us understand the situation and his recommendations. KJ quickly earned my trust. Ill certainly use his shop in the future and recommend him to others.
I very much appreciate that the staff at Eastside Automotive have been respectful and trustworthy. Also, they have been super helpful - flexible with timing when able, researched options for my retired grandmother - all in all, a genuine, solid business.
First Time I leave a mechanic with a smile! Great service, professional employees and very efficient. Took care of me very rapidly. Ill definitely go back there.
Great service and fair pricing. We greatly appreciate the knowledgeable staff.KJ listened to our concerns and addressed our questions steering us in the right direction. A+
KJ and his team are top notch. If you have reservations about mechanics this shop will dispel all bad stereo types. We have come to Eastside the last two years for oil changes/fixes and tires and the team has been honest and helpful in its approach whenever repairs are needed. The transparency and attention to detail make this the best auto shop in the greater Seattle area hands down.
I went there to check the tire for the air leak. They found a nail, patched the tire. They did it quickly, with high quality and didnt charge me a dime! I am grateful for the teams and KJs time for helping me. If I have any other problem with my car in future, thats where I will go to get it fixed. I will not hesitate to recommend them to all my friends and co-workers!
First time bringing a vehicle here and will definitely be back. Called for an appointment and got in the next morning. KJ and the staff were friendly and gave a candid recommendation for the work that was needed on my car. It was an older vehicle and the repairs would have cost more than the car was worth. KJ let me know the situation and I was able to pick the vehicle up without incurring further costs.
Several years ago, a few guys from my church recommended me to Eastside Automative & Tire for some engine work. It was a Saturday and I need to be honest, I was scared and anxious as my vehicle is over 20 years old. As I drove to his shop many thoughts ran through my head...Would I be stranded for the weekend? How would I get home? Would the repair costs be more than the value of the car? Etc. When I arrived, KJ-- the Service Manager was an immediate delight. He quickly assessed the situation, provided a quote that I understood, prioritized the repairs to ease the impact on my budget and scheduled me for an appointment days later. Needless to say, I left with a smile on my face and a heart full of gratitude on that Saturday. Ive since returned for new tires, oil changes and a tune up. I trust KJ with all of my automotive needs and will be a customer for life!!
Del and KJ are always specific and clear about what is needed to repair the 3 vehicles that I have repaired and serviced at Eastside Automotive & Tire. Not only is the service exceptional it is done with honesty because they will not tell you that a service is needed just to get money from you. If no work is needed they will tell you so, but if work is required to fix your vehicle they will be frank and honest with you. It is refreshing to do business with an establishment that you can trust and respect.
Awesome service, great work. KJ always takes good care of you and your car. Very reliable (better than the dealership) and I’m lucky to have recently discovered them.
If anyone is looking for Trustworthy, professional, expert, punctual service at reasonable cost straight head to this place. You visit once and you will be their life long customer. Big Shout out to KJ who helps his clients in all possible ways. One cannot ask for more! Many thanks KJ and team.
My first visit to Eastside Auto was great. They were quick to fix my battery terminal problem and even offered at no charge. I appreciate their offer and service.
Reliable friendly automotive repair place. Trust is important and they have always exceeded expectations. Since they provide such great service and work they are almost always busy.
I was lucky to have found Eastside Automotive and Tires two years ago. Their mechanics and customer service are exemplary as they always go beyond what is expected to ensure that your car is in top shape. I trust them completely;they truly are the best. Thank you KJ for all of your extra help.
I came in for a light bulb replacement on my Subaru and they did it very quick and efficiently without an appointment and gave me a discount on the service. Highly recommend.
My car was due for a full synthetic oil change. This was my first visit to the place.On top of the oil change, they did a full inspection and top off all the fluids etc. KJ was very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Since this was my first visit, they did the full synthetic oil change for free!
I am very impressed with Eastside Automotive. I find KJ and the rest of the team are some of the most honest and competent people I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I bring all my cars here for service. And not once have I walked away dissatisfied. My only regret? I wish I had heard about Eastside a lot sooner.
Del, KJ & their entire crew are top notch. Good bunch of guys and quality work.
After having a poor experience at the Toyota dealership, Eastside Automotive provided me with excellent care at a great price ($400 less than quoted at the dealership). I will definitely be back for future service. KJ and the team were very kind and helpful.
These guys are great! Very professional and friendly. I got a flat tire and fortunately it happened not too far from them. They quickly fixed it and soon I was good to go. Thank you KJ and the team, you saved my day!
Always honest always fair and their mechanics are excellent. I will never take my car to the dealership again. Saves me 30-40% and the mechanics are much better.
I went in with my brake with audible pulsating noise at low speed. Brett did a quick check and decided to lubricate all guiding rods of the calipers. The problem solved immediately and KJ didnt even charge me a dime for the half hour labor. Big shout out to these fantastic guys for their excellent service.
I had fallen on hard times and these guys came through for me like no other. Very professional,honest, reliable and overall very genuine people. If anybody asks me where a good auto shop is for whatever repair Im recommending these guys. The world needs more people like them.
Del and KJ are the best, fast friendly service and excellent value. They got my truck in for service on a moments notice and did a great job and I was able to pick up my truck same day. Many thanks guys, i will be in again Im sure! Scott G - Snohomish, WA
This review has taken me way too long to post! my husband and I have been coming here for years now. We came in for oil changes after spending way too much elsewhere, and stayed because everything else they do here is also fairly priced with quality work. They actually remember details about my family. I once came in when whatever part makes my window roll up and down broke and he told me yeah we can do that but I think it might call for some dad labor. The part is only x and our labor will be x plus it’s not a heavy job and won’t be hard on your dads back. The fact that they remember my dads a retired mechanic is cool but I’ve never been to a shop that would say nah you don’t really need us for this but we can do it if you just want it done now. Long review I know, but I have to mention one of the times I couldn’t use “dad labor” for something. I had to leave my car all day, but needed to be at school shortly after I dropped off the car. KJ had all the paperwork ready for me to leave my car the minute they opened, and the truck running to take me to get the rental car from an agent who KJ had told I was in a hurry, he also had everything ready and waiting. I made it to school right on time and they even texted rather than called to let me know it was done because they knew I’d be in class. My dads old shops main thing was integrity and these guys have it too.
They treated me very well. They were professional, respectful, courteous, patient and explained everything very well.
Eastside has delivered fantastic service for me the last 5 years. Very good oil change prices & they always reward loyalty with potential discounted services and labor. Everyone there is really helpful and they never cut corners. Highly recommend.
I found these guys by accident a few years ago. BMW told me several things were wrong with my car that would have cost $$$$. I brought my BMW to Eastside Automotive for a second opinion and I was told there was nothing wrong with my car. I was in yesterday for what I thought was a alternator issue because of the light on my dash. It turns out i just needed coolant added. Everyone at this shop is kind, helpful and honest. I highly recommend them
Got a serpentine belt replacement and the van runs like a charm. Quick, good work, and easy to communicate with. Definitely coming back!
These guys are great. If you are working with KJ (service manager) you are in great hands!! There are a lot of options in Kirkland but definitely use these guys! Thanks KJ for all your help 👍
I have been a customer of Eastside Automotive for a few years. KJ has always been kind & very friendly. I went there for a full inspection of a Lexus I recently purchased. Since its a newer car, it took him less than 30 minutes to do the work & didnt charge me anything for it. Inspections usually cost between $200 & $300. I highly recommend this place. Thank you!
