I was referred to Brake Zone by two other friends. Mark and team are awesome. Responsive, communicative and damned good at their jobs. My little Ranger is my pride and joy and shes running excellent after their work. Id recommend this place to anyone who wants good work for a fair price.
Be aware that the $88 price shown on the main web page for a brake service is unlikely to be the price you will pay - I called and was told that my vehicle would be a little more - $169/axle + tax. I feel that the advertising is misleading.Edited to add: Thank you to the business owner for trying to assist me with discounted service - that is kind of you. I think it might be good to update the advertising on the website, if prices have gone up so significantly, so that people are not as surprised as I was.
I had my water pump replaced. Mark cameAnd towed my Lexus in and took care of every step for me. Process went smooth and in a timely manner! I was impressed. I’ll be using them in the future. Thanks again!!
I went to Brake Zone for the second time ever today and was just taken aback by the friendliness, helpfulness and service. I believe very much so that women are easily overcharged for services such as these and felt comfortable and confident in what Taylor and Jack not only told me, but showed me needed done. I appreciate this shop and recommend.
Straight up, if youre going somewhere other than Brake Zone, youre going to the wrong place. I HIGHLY recommend these folks to anyone needing reliable service done to their vehicle.
The best experience I’ve had at a mechanic.I’ve been having battery problems for a while, and multiple places have “fixed” the issue or told me it was nothing. The guys here took the time to actually diagnose the problem and fix what was going on, they kept me informed about what they were doing, and never talked down to me/tried to get me to pay for me extra stuff I don’t need. Absolutely coming back & would recommend them to everyone.
I wanted to love this place. The guy at the desk was super chill and he was very proud of the high ratings the shop has here on Google. I thought I would finally be treated right at a car place.I went in for a free brake check. Next thing i knew, they were doing work on my rotors without asking, charging me $180, and sending me out the door. WITH THE PROBLEM NOT FIXED IN THE SLIGHTEST, mind you. They even made sure to tell me I had 75% of my brake pads left and that the work they were doing would definitely fix the squeal. No such luck, at least now I know it isnt the brakes making the noise. Couldve been a more expensive trip, sure... but I felt like they were so overwhelmed with too many cars on the lot that they just chucked me out of there as fast as they could to make more money on other cars.In short, a typical auto mechanic experience, EXCEPT their prices are appear to be more reasonable than at other places. Dont come here for a diagnosis of whats wrong, but DO come here if you just need something simple done and already know exactly what the issue is.To the owner: Im really sorry to not be able to rate you guys higher, but... i wasted my (and your) time by coming there. Keep up the great service, but maybe try to take a few extra seconds to take care of customers instead of rushing them out the door. Im gonna try somebody else in town next for this now-increasing issue that was wholly unresolved in your shop, but ill come back to you for easy brakes or tires type of jobs.
Mark and team are a great group of people! Professional and honest....they really explain things to you and dont try to upsell. A customer for life! I will definitely recommend and will refer them to all of my friends.
I only ever bring my cars to this shop for brake work. My brakes were so bad and I was beyond thankful that these guys helped keep it within my budget and made sure I was safe to get back on the road and they got me in same day. Will always use these guys for any brake work in the future. Thanks again guys...you are the best!!
I recommend Brake Zone for your vehicle maintenance. Mark and his crew did an excellent job with my Honda service and they had me in and out in record time!
My friends car was in desperate need of new brakes, rotors, and calipers, and she was quoted a pretty large amount at Les Schwab. I called here and Mark answered the phone. He was amazing and wanted to help us out, so we could make sure the car was safe to use. They took a look at the car and he told us what was absolutely necessary to be fixed and did not try to upsell us. He really saved us from a bind and worked with us on the bill so we didnt have to worry about paying everything up front. It was refreshing to speak with someone that genuinely cared about helping us. You guys have earned a new customer and Ill definitely be recommending you to anyone that needs work done. Thank you again for everything!
Major brake work completed quickly. Same-day service. Good work done for a fair price. Honest and straight forward mechanic work.
2nd time using this shop and they are still the real deal. Taylor, Mark and the crew are the most honest, up front mechanics I’ve ever dealt with. My wife’s car needed an emergency brake job done before she left town on a trip and they squeezed her in last minute and got the job done. They won’t scam you into extra parts or service but they will flat out tell you what needs replaced in order to drive safely. Appreciate the work guys!
Taylor is the best and the entire team definitely knows what they are doing, cant say that for every mechanic out there! Took my 2000 civic to them and will be returning anytime it needs work while Im in the area!
I walked in and was greeted warmly. Mark was very knowledgeable, and gave the impression of someone who truly takes pride in customer service. I watched him explain in detail various issues with another customers car, and then help them prioritize which needed to be done so as to not exceed the persons budget. It was reassuring to see such honesty in what can sometimes be a scary situation to be in. I would recommend brake zone to anyone I can, and I plan to. I was referred by a close friend and made the trip all the way from Kelso WA.
Happy to be one of the many satisfied customers here, and have already begun sharing my experience with peers, friends, and family alike. I was this close to giving in to a high overhead but luckily I found Mark and all the other great technicians at Brake Zone Total Car Care. Happy to see the other reviews reflecting a similar experience!Tldr: Great price, fast and effective work, honest staff.
Usually when you go to a shop, they try to sell you many things and suggest maintenance that does not need to be done. Here, it is quite the opposite. They do way more than just brakes! We recently moved from Texas and have been trying to find a decent shop to being our auto to...found it! Mark was straight to the point, no dilly dallying around and explained exactly what needed to be done. He will do that for you too, trust me. I will be returning to Brake Zone for future business and I highly recommend to anyone and everyone.
These guys are great! Mark is thorough and always walks you through what is needed in your vehicle. Recommend this place to all my friends and family! ***Update: I recently worked with Taylor when he fixed my windshield wipers, and he could not have been kinder or more professional. As always, I really appreciate the staff at Brake Zone and will continue coming here for any of my car needs!
I brought my Mercedes-Benz CLA250 in for brake service. Taylor and Company were fast, gave me a thorough description of the service needed at a great price! I definitely recommend Brake Zone!
I confess the clutter and disorganization of the place really put me off initially. There is none of the order or clear workflow I normally associate with a successful shop. However a few minutes with the owner and his protege made it obvious why this place routinely gets five stars - I dont recall ever meeting anyone as masterful, knowledgeable, or fast with brakes. I would not hesitate to come here again. My relatively small problem was rapidly diagnosed, and even more rapidly fixed, with an extremely thorough and detailed explanation offered. There was no sense I was being upsold, or any attempt to talk me into products or services I didnt need. If you want masterful service and dont mind clutter, this is your place.
The owner is an honest hard working man. He wont ever try to tell you something is wrong just to get money. He goes out of his way to help you save and works with your budget.
They were fast, efficient and thorough. The price was perfectly reasonable. Im very happy with Mark and his crew.
Well thought I was capable of doing my own full brake service. We got the parts all correct and then no brake pedal. I had zero pressure almost. Called them up this morning and they were full but he got me in and worked out a way to fix it. Next time I think I’ll leave it to the pros and very affordable. He doesn’t try to screw you over like most mechanics.
Mark and his team are seriously amazing human beings. They are not only the best at what they do, but they are honest and kind people. They fixed my car the very same day and gave me an unbeatable price when I could have used kindness and understanding. Thank you Mark and the entire team for once again providing an excellent service all around. Forever grateful and a loyal customer for life!
Such an amazing experience, I use my car for work and faced with several very important appointments and what they at Brakezone called a Deathwobble (vehicle was shaking violently) I was able to get my car all fixed up and back on the road in time for my appointments and at a price that didnt destroy me! If youre looking for an honest appraisal of your vehicles condition, a reasonable price for good work, and all around great group of guys, this is absolutely the place to go, thanks guys!
Mark and his team did a wonderful job on my vehicle. Only brought it in for a break repair and they noticed another problem with my vehicle that needed serious attention. Charged even better than a fair price and had my vehicle in and out the door within the day. I highly recommend this business and will be returning for any other repair needs we have in the future.
Taken 2 cars there and everything is done quick and great. Very smart people!
Great service. Dropped car off in the mornjng and picked it up that afternoon. Very knowledgeable and reasonable. Thank you Mark and team! Ill keep coming back
Such amazing customer service. They discovered something really important and worked with me to help get everything safe on the road again for a very reasonable price. I know if I was somewhere else they would have nickle and dimed me with a huge bill. They were highly recommended to me, and I cannot recommend them enough
Brakes/rotors done by Marks mechanics. They started right away maybe a couple hours of waiting while it was done. Good people. Dont feel like I was robbed or anything like some. Earned my business. Very upfront about cost. Thanks!
I was strapped for time and needed my brakes looked at. Marc was able to squeeze me in. They did a thorough diagnostic, got me out quick, and provided me with fair prices. Their efforts to take care of me earned my business. Ill be back to get more car care done for sure!
Absolutely loved how quickly they got me in to get my truck brakes done. Taylor was amazing and will be going back for sure!!!
I went to the Brake Zone today and got tires and an oil change, I got great service at an even greater price. Mark had been taking care of my car for years, and I send all my friends to him too.
Mark and Taylor are awesome. I had my car into the dealership for oil change. Came out there with list of services needed and a price of $1400. Brake Zone discovered that some things didnt needto be done. Mark saved me about $900.They are easy to work with and the customer service is awesome. Thank you. I will see you next time.,😊😊
Best service in town by far, Mark and his team are very professional. Matt did amazing work on my car replacing the timing chain. The entire engine had to come out which was a great opportunity to replace other major components that were showing signs of failure which would have been more expensive to replace at a later time. They kept all the parts to show me where they were failing. Couldnt have had all that work done anywhere else for less. Thank you Brake Zone.
Fair prices and honest practices, highly recommend
Highly recommend these guys excellent service
I can’t say enough good things about Mark and his team! They’re friendly, honest and quick, going above & beyond to make sure your vehicle is in great shape, without any BS. I highly recommend Brake Zone for any repairs or maintenance you need!
Mark and the guys at Brake Zone were my angels. I had been driving around with no brake lights for several days because several companies told me they couldn’t help me with the issue. Mark was straight forward and gave me a fair price to get my switch replaced. They fixed it within a matter of a couple hours and I was out of there. Would definitely recommend them for any of your car needs!!
Old man in the office is nice and straight up. They do start the work right away. He recomend to me what to replace, and discuss on the parts and work that needs to be done. What we have agreed on what to fix on my brake system have done right. He check on the work himself in the shop to make sure everything are good, he called me up to show the work they did and parts that they had replaced. replaced on front axle, are Rotors, Calipers, Brake pads and brake fluid flush. He also gave me a discount%, paid $594 tax incl. and with 2 yrs. warranty
I couldn’t get my car to start, even with a jump. I had heard Brake Zone was a solid place, so I called them. Mark brought the Tow Zone truck and was able to jump start the car! Then he followed me (to make sure the car didn’t die...so sweet!) to his shop to get a new battery. Every bay was full with cars being repaired, but Mark had one of his guys stop what he was doing to install my battery. The guy jumped right to work and did so with a smile. I honestly can’t believe how quick and painless the whole thing was. Mark and his crew were really great! Not only were they helpful and did a great job with my battery, but it didn’t cost an arm and a leg. The Brake Zone guys are also great humans, surrounding their Christmas tree with presents for a local toy drive. I would wholeheartedly recommend Brake Zone!
This is the ONLY place I will have work on my vehicle. The fixes I needed in a timely manner and small fixes whike I had the top end of my motor taken apart that save me money in the long run. The whole team is knowledgeable about my different vehicles. Great and fair pricing. No job too big or small. THANK YOU Mark and the entire BRAKE ZONE TEAM....Doug
Extremely polite, caring staff. Thorough diagnostic work. Fast service. These guys are one of the most affordable all-around repair shops in the area and wont charge you for unnecessary repairs! They will look up parts and recommend the most reasonable options for work and replacement. Locally owned.
These guys run a truly honest shop. No worries taking your car here. I will be using them for all my maintenance.
Dont believe the one star reviews, they are fake accounts posted by competition. Mark has both outstanding customer service skills and performs high quality affordable work. I literally take my Caddy here for everything and have always been 100% satisfied!
I would totally recommend this brake zone, I took my car in to the dealer and they couldn’t find anything wrong, it was making some noise. My boyfriend has been going to this place for a long time to bring all his cars and was super satisfied with the quality of work, the quickness of work and the honesty. I took my car in also to get it checked by Mark and his crew and he was super honest with me, did not overprice. Took me in right away and took his time listening . You didn’t feel like just another client, he actually cared. I highly recommend to work with Mark and his business.
Fantastic! BRAKE ZONE MORE LIKE JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE. As a young lady with absolutely no car knowledge I have never felt judge or lied to about my car (which has happened countless of times before) Not only do they get the job done to completion but I can truly say everyone on the Brake Zone Team is friendly, respectful and helpful. They tell it to you straight, how to fix it and how much it will be and it is always accurate. Never had to wait multiple days to get my car back on the road safely. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is!Thank you Brake Zone for keeping me safe on the road.
Do it right. Cant ask for faster service.the whole nine yards, motor replacement and repair. Glass and body Work. Ask for tow services.24/7
On our way to California from Washington and we hit a piece of rubber tire while towing our travel trailer. It sliced our brake line and we had no truck brakes. This was the first place I called and the owner was more than accommodating to get us right in. They had to order two different parts and they made it all work. In 3 hours we were safely on the road again. I’m so grateful to the whole staff. They were all so friendly, warm, and reassuring they would do their best. They were more than reasonable price wise as well. I was shocked! Thanks the whole gang at Brake Zone, we appreciate you all!!!!
These guys were great. Very knowledgeable and informed me of an issue I would need fixed instead of doing just what was asked and nothing more. They gave me a heads up before they even got to work after inspecting the breaks I needed fixed. Couldnt afford to do that other thing at the time, but I will be going back to them to get the other part of my break issue done. As well as anything else that is emergent enough as time goes on. From the other reviews and the fact they were close, I gave them a chance and was beyond pleased with my experience.
Mark is a friendly guy and ready to help out.
Had the team at Brake Zone replace my brake lines and preform differential services on my pickup. Over and above on customer service and the work was done flawlessly. Thanks Mark and crew!
I recently went in for a brake job- I could feel them failing. After being quoted upwards of $800 at other places, I found Mark at Brake Zone. My brakes cost just over $300. However, my GMC was in need of repairs. With 100,000 miles on it, I wasn’t surprised. So yes, I paid more when I left, but my car runs great now. Not only that, Mark had the mechanic save all the older/failing parts so I was able to see what was done. I didn’t feel as if I was being taken advantage of.I have recommended Brake Zone to a few people already. If you want a good deal with peace of mind, I highly recommend going in to see Mark
The only place trust with my vehicles, he is kind and honest that’s hard to find around here. I trust mark with everything I have. If you’re looking for a good mechanic this is the place. I will always return back to this place, thank you Marc for all your hard work.
Great customer service, Mark goes out I f his way to accommodate customers and is very honest about repairs. Highly recommend.
This is hands down the best shop Ive ever been to. Ill never take my car anywhere else. All the guys were amazing. As a woman, Im always nervous about taking my car to a so myself. They were great though. No one trying to get one over on me or speaking to me like Im an idiot. I cant possibly recommend this place enough. And they were quick too. Dropped it off in the morning and everything was done before I was even off work.
Brake Zone is great, the staff is super friendly and efficient! I showed up from Southern California with a broken Axle and control arm and I was out of there in 6 hours. Mark made sure that my car ran great the 1095 miles back home. Highly recommend it to anyone trying to get a quick and reliable fix to your car.
Mark is an absolutely fantastic guy, he has done nothing but treat me right and fair. I came to him with my car and probably a 3000-4000 dollar job not only did he charge me under that he told me staight up i want your business not your money. I have never worked with a nicer mechanic and i can thank him enough. I highly recommend Brake Zone Total care if you need any work done on your car. THANK YOU MARK!!!
Great owner ---with terrific prices and brake job is guarenteed!. Highly Recomend. Wayne Bucky Ritter
Mark and his team are always professional, honest, caring and happy to take the time to explain what repairs are needed and what can be taken care of over time. Beyond their excellent service Mark has turned the shop into a valuable part of the community! They host an annual Christmas toy drive and other community cookouts (pre-COVID). I highly recommend their services to anyone in the Vancouver area! Keep up the great work guys!
Mark and his team at Brake Zone are the only people I will let work on my vehicles. All my kiddos take their cars to Mark and we trust him to not rip them off or do a shoddy job! I have recommended them to all of my family and friends and now they only use Brake Zone as well. I am grateful to have found a mechanic that I can trust, and who doesn’t try to get over on you. Thanks Mark!! You guys ROCK!!
I love this place. Would give it a million stars if I could! Marks helped my family so much and were grateful for everybody at the shop!
Mark and the team are always incredibly helpful whenever a problem arises with my vehicle. They are quick to get my car in the shop and back on the road. Mark is super transparent about the repairs needed. As a woman who is not knowledgeable about automobiles, Mark takes the time to explain what needs to be done without talking down to me. I have never felt swindled or taken advantage of, which def happens at other places.P.s. They have a great candy machine in the lobby.
This place is hands down the BEST place I have ever been to. Mark and his team go the extra mile to make sure my vehicles are safe. Its awesome to find a honest mechanic in town that doesnt charge me for what I dont need. I trust him and his mechanics 100% with mine and my familys safety.
Good place to go if you need urgent care in the car called about my brakes and they got me in and out the same day plus even help me with the price I would definitely be going here again
Honest, good people. Wont charge you for things they dont feel is worth charging. Wont even have you come in for stuff they think you can do yourself. Highly recommend.
Break zone always goes above and beyond for me and my family. ALWAYS has the best interest in mind. Definitely recommend!
I stopped by for some help with getting my license plate taken off because the bolts were stuck from 6 years of rust and they wouldn’t come off with a screwdriver or a wrench. They used their tools to get it off in a matter of minutes free of charge! He also gave me some advice about some issues I’ve been having with my headlight. I will definitely be making this my neighborhood body shop for any future issues that come up.
Always a pleasure doing business with Mark. Very knowledgeable, friendly and gets it done in a timely manner
Amazing service! The owner himself (Mark) answered the phone and walked me step by step through a very stressful situation. I am 100% satisfied with the service and will recommend this shop to every person I know.
This is the best place to go if you want exceptional mechanics working to get you back on the road! Thank You Brake Zone
One thing I love about this place is that I always get a written estimate, I always know exactly what the costs will be, no surprises. If something odd comes up they call me asap. I also respect their involvement within the community outreach, helping neighbors in need.
Thank you for such excellent service. Honest, knowledgeable, swift car needs in a hospitable fashion.. you guys are amazing!!
Great saved me a lot money compared to other shops thanks!
Excellent customer service. Nothing but honest, I am new to the area and this will definitely be my go to auto repair shop. Great price, fast service, I highly recommend Brake Zone.
Far exceeded my expectations! Mark Graham and his whole staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and at home, while literally treating my vehicle as if it was one of there own! I am absolutely satisfied! They definitely earned a life long customer as well as a high recommendation to anyone I come in contact with! With much respect, a new loyal customer!
Great, honest service. Very refreshing to get comprehensive, honest and affordable service. The owner prides himself on providing just that and I feel fortunate to have found this mechanic shop that I will continue to visit for all my vehicles services. Very pleased with the shop, the owner, the employees, the time taken to thoroughly check everything, as well as directly taking me under the car and showing me just what needed addressed.Vancouver is fortunate to have such a gem. Thank you!
Great work repairing damage to car. Charged me half of what the quote originally was. Prompt work too. High recommendation.
I dont feel like saying much because Im lazy, but these guys will go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied and work according to your needs and budget.Absolutely do recommend coming here for your car care.
I had a fantastic experience with these guys! My KIA Optima needed new brakes and thats about all I was sure of. The owner, Mark, was amazing as he explained the process and ensured that they were going to deliver great quality with no surprises, which they did, and the price was excellent! If you are looking for outstanding service on a budget then you can feel very confident in choosing this business since its very clear that earning their customers is the number one priority and they deserve every star they have!
Ive been dreading replacing my brakes, but Brake Zone made it as painless as possible. Very respectable. Very honest. Very fast. I scheduled a brake check within the hour, showed up, they checked my brakes, and I got them replaced...all in about 2 hours total.Mark gave me an extremely good price (including very good quality parts).Both Mark and his mechanic, Charlie, did a such great job, and I was so excited to hop in my car and drive home without that worry anymore.As much as I dont like getting work done on my car, Im glad I have a place now!
Excellent service, great work in a timely fashion and didnt empty my bank account. Highly recommend.
Mark was amazing! He did a free diagnosis and was completely honest about the outcome of the diagnosis. So instead of him giving me a huge list of things he can repair he said that my car is no good. Im very thankful for all their help. I will surely go back to them for all my car repair needs!!
The service is quick and professional. And on top of that Mark and his guys are respectful and very knowledgeable. This is and will be my go to shop for my car.
Excellent customer service and knowledge. Mark took the time to explain clearly what needed to be done and why. Then gave me a very reasonable price to get it done!! Thanks Mark!!
Literally the best shop Ive ever been to. Mark is extremely honest and helpful, their prices are incredibly fair and their customer service is impeccable. Im not going to bring my car anywhere else.
Brakezone was quick, getting my car back on the road asap after fixing my brake fluid leak. The price was absolutely reasonable!! Thank you for your kind hospitality.
Amazing same day service to fix the hub, wheel bearing, alignment, tires. Great service, great prices. Will recommend to everyone.
The only place I would recommend people to go for their brakes and not getting ripped off stand behind their work and do it right the first time A+ as a mechanic this is where I send people when I have too many things to do and they dont want to wait for me. Quality shop hard to find nowadays!!!
I stopped by to have my brakes checked around 330pm. After Mark heard the horrible grinding sound, he immediately started working on my car, even though I didnt have an appointment. They finished before 5pm. These guys are efficient, reasonably priced, and give amazing customer service. I will definitely be recommending this shop to friends and family! Thanks!
They are amazing and caring and honest!!
Great repair shop and just great people.
Mark and the crew is a breath of fresh air for the mechanics world. Mark spent a half hour with me driving around and diagnosing my tire issues. He didn’t charge me a dime and told me he just wanted to earn my business. I didn’t need anything taken care of right away (Besides alignment which he referred me to another shop for) but he never once tried to sell me on anything. Mark you’ve got my business for life.
I have been taking my cars to this shop for about two years and have not ever had any issues. Mark is always there for any question and provides honest and professional recommendations. He does not push for costly fixes if they are not urgent and tells you what your car really needs. The level of service that is provided here is fantastic, they finish the job with great care and get things done fast.
Every time I come here I get speedy amazing service on all my cars and trucks. Customer service is great. I will never take my vehicles anywhere else! Highly recommend.
Has worked on brakes for years. Very helpful! Very informative! Will continue to use. Thank you!
I went in there hoping for a quick, quality break job and I got exactly that! A quick, quality break job. Also, great conversation and friendly employees. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs the job done right the first time.
These guys are phenomenal. A great group of guys. They worked quickly, efficiently, and, Mark, was a straight-shooter, no-nonsense honesty. Hell do everything in his power to give you the best deal and help a person in need. Plus, he offered me a burger while I was waiting. He had time to help multiple people quickly all whilst grilling awesome looking burgers! Thats skills! Ill never go anywhere else but Brake Zone.
Honest, excellent service. Mark goes out of his way to get you the best price and parts for the lowest cost. Ive had him fix my brakes in 2 vehicles, alternator and very hard to install headlights. Highly recommended!!!
