The Brake Shop - Vancouver (WA)

Vivienne Lewis I’ve been bringing my car to Honest-1 Auto Care in Vancouver since I moved to Vancouver about four years ago, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their service. They truly live up to their name—honest in every sense. They’re upfront about costs and the work that needs to be done, and I’ve never felt pressured into repairs that aren’t necessary. In fact, they’ve told me more than once that certain fixes could wait until my next oil change, which I really appreciate. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted warmly, and they always take the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and even show me parts of my car so I understand what’s going on. Their transparency and kindness go a long way. I trust them completely and will be a loyal customer for life!

Merry Berry If you are looking for an honest, reliable place to get car repairs or oil changes in Vancouver, I highly recommend Cascade Park Automotive. Its always nerve-wracking choosing a new car repair shop, but the owner, Justin, was upfront with me about what needs to be fixed now vs. what might need to be fixed down the road. He will not try to sell you on anything you dont need like so many other repair shops. Justin will save you money, and on top of that, he is communicative and courteous. Skip the chains and support this local business.

Chris Harrison My experience at jrods automotive today was fantastic, I dropped off a 72 international travelall in the morning at the scheduled time I got personalized attention from the owner. I explained the issues I was having with my vehicle and left. I have experience with these vehicles in particular and they need to be in the hands of a skilled mechanic to say the least. All of the items I was hoping to have corrected were complete by the end of the day and the repairs were explained to me very well. my favorite part... the price!! when I heard how much my bill was for their services I was relieved that here was a business that provides excellent service with very modest prices. I genuinely applaud your whole team for your service! other business owners would benefit from conducting business the way you do. thank you.

Nichole Lynott They are great! We will be calling them for all our future repairs on our BMW X5 and our BMW 323. They listened to us when we knew what was wrong, and didnt charge us for a diagnosis....they worked with us when we bought the wrong parts first, then returned when we got the right parts. They charged really fair prices for the labor, and my baby is back on the road and happy! Thank you guys sooo much!

Brandon Fransik Faazan was very informative when I asked him to help me pick tires (settled on Blizzaks - the best winter tire from personal experience) for my GX470, and he weighed other options with me and had suggestions. Tires installed yesterday, rear brakes, and wipers. He got it all done right and was timely, and also was very communicative throughout the whole process! Loved the service and fair pricing. Will be going to him for work on my vehicle from now on. Highly recommend!

Michael Lewis I do not leave my 1996 corvette with any mechanic. I tried Mountainside auto based on reviews. Mark is the nicest guy to work with. He did all the work I asked him to do and kept me apprised of the how things progressed. Promised he would have my car done on Wednesday and it was done. She is purring like a kitten when I left his place. Mark thanks for great work and what I think is a very honest mechanic and fair pricing. He lived up to all his 5-star reviews. I will be taking my vehicles to him in the future. Again, thanks for taking care of my baby.

Joe A First time I brought my 2016 E400 Mercedes to a repair shop other than the dealership. Let me just say I was very pleased with the excellent friendly customer service Hamm Autoworks provided. They installed the new Motor mounts and their price was way more reasonable than other shops to include the dealership. They returned my car just as super clean the way I had turn it in to them. From now on if my E400 needs any repairs, Hamm autoworks is the shop I will most definitely come to.

Rick Foster 1st time going here and never going anywhere else. These guys are phenomenal , fast, efficient, with fair prices and quality work. I cant say enough good things they even stayed over to finish my truck. I would recommend them highly to anyone needing work done on their vehicles.

CrazyApfel I found myself suddenly in need of an emergency mechanic – here I am, out of town in Portland, OR, and my oil pan is busted. If only someone could come right here, on Memorial Day weekend, and fix it for me so I can go home(yeah right)! He contacted me back, and said he could help. Not only that, but he comes to where you are(no need to have it towed to a shop)! It wasnt an easy fix, but Rick uses all means at his disposal. When it seemed he wasnt going to be able to fix it over the weekend, he prepared to tow it for us. Then, with it on the tow dolly he realized what he could do differently, and fixed it. Theres still a couple things I need my mechanic to do for it to be completely repaired, but Rick & his team took care of me & my son, did locate a new oil pan, put it on, and got it running. I was able to drive it over 200 miles home instead of having it towed. An experience for my son, and my wife and I are very grateful! Rick is an amazing person, keeping his word, and his way is to think of a way to get it done, and do it. If youve ever had a mechanic friend help you by working on your car, its like that. He drove us to a hotel when we had to stay a night, and he is intentional to be affordable. A man with integrity, and he applies that to his business. If you are on the road in NW Oregon or SW Washington state and have vehicle troubles, give Rick a call!

Al Lee I just had an oil changed at Valvoline Instant Oil Change....they did not know how to reset the Oil Change light on the dashboard and for some reason the engine light was on. So I decided I would just reset it myself. This was not as easy as I thought. If you own a BMW or Mercedes....find a business that specializes on these vehicles. I called Bavarian Autoworks located in Vancouver. I talked with Jason and he told me to bring the BMW over and he would look at it. They cleared to Oil Change light....and had to do more work to get the engine light off. Apparently, Valvoline in the rush to get you in and out disconnected some hoses that caused the engine light to go on. Jason and his mechanic took the time to plug back in the hoses and made sure everything was good. I was not trying to save money....but because of convenience....I stopped at a Valvoline. Just stupid. Check out Bavarian Autoworks....they are nice people and give them a chance on your service needs. Ill be a customer for life. Thank you again Team Bavarian Autoworks!!!
