This place was amazing. We were on a road trip from Missouri to Washington when our car started having issues. No place in 6 cities had an opening to help us. And then I called these amazing guys. They wanted to make sure our trip was good and we didn’t miss anything so they squeezed us between waiting for other parts and stuff. They were so knowledgeable and friendly. They were fast friendly and I wish they were in Missouri. I got to enjoy the rest of my vacation because of them. Thank you thank you thank you
What a great place. In a time that seemed impossible to get anything done (my regular mechanics and the first three places I called were booked for two weeks or more), Ken managed to squeeze me in. My truck wasnt starting, turned out needing a new battery and alternator. In a situation like this, I would have expected an overly pricey bill, and was shocked at how great the price was. Im tempted to make this place my regular. Sooooo awesome!! Thanks Ken!!
Wonderful. Treated me like I was special and fixed my car so I would have it the next day. I will definitely take my business to them.
I had the most amazing experience at Downtown Auto Specialists. They got me in for an appointment nearly immediately and took great care of me. Their work was fast and efficient, and they began right away when I dropped off my van. They were wonderfully kind and knowledgeable, explaining everything in detail when I picked up my vehicle as well. Next time I need ANYTHING done on my Sprinter, I will be returning here. Thank you for the exceptional experience!
Ive been going here for years they are very professional, you get exactly what you expect if they find something they contact you before they ever do anything. I love these guys theyre great
I brought in my daughters Fiat during the pandemic as I needed to get it fixed before driving back to Arizona. Ken the owner and his staff were very friendly and welcoming and found the problem on the Fiat right away. They fixed it very quickly so we could get on the road. Ken has even followed up with me twice to make sure the Fiat is running smoothly!! I would give them 100 stars if that was an option.
Super friendly and great experience.I pulled in unannounced and the gentleman greeted me, they were not open, he asked what as going on and did some troubleshooting with me for 15 minutes resulting in fixing my issue, as well he pointed out a few quick fix concerns.I really appreciate taking the time to help me.
Third project performed on our truck and all three times were 5 star.Projected cost and completion time were as expected. Kept us informed of any problem noted allowing us to have time for decision making process. No pressure on us to have something done we did not want. Also very pleasant/professional and top quality work. Would not use any one else for our vehicle needs. Thank you Ken and team.
Great place to take your vehicle to get it serviced. Honest and prices are fair
Visiting from the Seattle area and needed an oil change on my BMW. The customer service was great, cost was reasonable and fair, and they do quality work. I will be driving back up here from now on for any and all car needs.
They let me use the part that I bought from an outside source. Very friendly and fixed my car in a very short time. Ken the owner even followed up with me to make sure the was fixed.
One of the things that impresses me very much about Ken and his crew is not only their wide range of knowledge regarding automobiles and all things related but Kens honesty. If he can find it for you cheaper he will, if there is a better way to do it he will do it that way. It is not so much what he makes doing business with you, although that is important, but what the end result is. I truly do believe in my heart that his goal is to make sure your vehicle performs the best it can and is as safe as it possibly can be. I am so glad he was recommended to me by my brother and that I went to see him. I encourage anyone who is looking for an honest, reliable, decent person to work on their vehicle to take it to Ken and Downtown Automotive Specialists.
Ken has been great. He’s honest and upfront about service you need and service you don’t. Rates are reasonable and accommodation beyond that of other shops. I even came in for a belt replacement and he greased the door hinges at no charge and without my request. If you’re not happy with your current service or just looking for an honest alternative Ken is your guy.
Knowledgeable. Local. Professionals. Reliable. Affordable. Honest.I saved almost 300 dollars getting my vehicle repaired here at, Downtown Auto Specialist. Those six words are exactly I have written above, describes these gentlemen. Thanks guys for your help and the knowledge behind the job, that was performed. So dedicated with their career, and it shows. They also post on Facebook, helpful pointers on what to look out, for with various car problems.Thanks a bunch guys!
He was very helpful and communicative. Was able to get my car in and taken care of the same day.
This is one of the best automotive repair shops in Spokane!! Have been twice. Fair, honest and upfront. Would definitely recommend!
I have had a great experience with Downtown Auto! It took me about 2 years living in Spokane to find a mechanic I trust, but after a few instances working with Ken I found a great place. They are honest, personable, and reliable!
Keeping our 18-year-old Jeep on the road is a task we’ve dumped on Ken and his Downtown Auto Specialists crew. We’re more than satisfied, confident that if something needs repair these folks are assessing it correctly. Definitely recommend this shop.
I felt respectfully and honestly dealt with. Work was completed in good time. Would go back (although hopefully I wont have a need to!).
Easily a 5 star rating. Ken and his crew are honest, accomadating and professional. Not to mention top notch with all repairs. Biggest impression for me its the honesty and the ability to fully have the customers best interest as their top priority. Through numerous makes and models, of all styles and all years they get the job done. And done well. You will never feel pressured or mislead. They are a one stop, enjoyable repair facility. Each technician takes the utmost pride and care, and it shows. I would never hesitate to send anyone to Downtown Auto. Thanks for being the best!
Ken at Downtown Auto Specialists takes good care of my 83 CJ5 jeep. I first found Kens shop years ago, thought I had major troubles, and his mechanic, was wonderful. What I thought was a big problem was a simple and cheap fix. My Jeep takes me places that would take a long time to walk out of, so knowing that they take such good care of it puts me at ease. Highly recommend Ken and his shop.
Drive an e350. Went to get car code read and they said I had a cylinder misfire which was causing my check engine light to turn on. They kept the car over night and said around noon they would tell me more about what was wrong but when they called me they told me the same exact thing that the code reader said. I asked how much was the estimate and they said at least $1200 if they dont find anything else wrong which sounded wrong to me as if he was planning on doing something else to my car to charge more. They told me no one in Spokane would charge less but the coil part was only worth $70 and changing it is not too difficult so that was a huge rip off. I went to a small shop up north and they said 600 to replace all 6 coils and labor fees. However when I left the car there they told me that if the mechanic at downtown auto had actually checked the engine they would have noticed that one of the wires for the cylinder was frayed and was not delivering electricity to the coil and that the coils did not need to be replaced.
Ive come here multiple times with different vehicles. They always call and explain if repairs are necessary, and the price is always fair. I trust these guys and will always bring my vehicle here.
They are the best. They go out of their way to fit you in. Ken is full of knowledge and is interested in saving money in your pocket book. I would send anyone to Ken. Thank you!
I dont live in Spokane, and I was trying to help my retired mother with getting her oil changed. I told her to ask for the price up front, to not request any special oil if they asked, and to tell them to get her permission if they thought something else needed to be done. They charged her $108 to change her oil in a tiny Toyota. When she asked them why it was more then the $40 she was quoted, he said because she had requested full synthetic, which she did not do. This place takes advantage of women, and I highly encourage you to look elsewhere. DO NOT TRUST.
They were quick but thorough, and very nice!
Fantastic service! We had an emergency repair two days before Christmas. Ken gotUs in and back on the road within a day. Price was comparable to other shops. Definitely recommend this place
Dose really good work on my wife Aztec an my mustang he did the head gasket on it
Fairly complicated, involved work, done well at a fair price. Very knowledgeable. Intend to take another vehicle there for routine maintenance.
Great mechanics! They even offered suggestions that helped me save money on a major repair. When I have an automotive issue I call them first!
