Andy's Auto Repair

As a student in the 1990's, Andy always managed to keep my old Subaru 1988 GL Wagon running for very little cash. I have brought him my newer 1996 Legacy Wagon and he has performed more for less, and did not waste money on things other places said I ""needed"". I have driven my Subarus hard through forest service roads, creeks and deep snow and none of his repairs ever failed. I have not been there in a few years, but I would take my car to him again in the future. He is not slick, and does not come across like most garages. He is busy and short on conversation, but he seems to do a fair job at a fair price. Pros: inexpensive, on time, quotes always close to final price Cons: hard to get in, short on customer service, not a ""fancy"" place more

I don't know if Andy thought I woulnd't post this b/c at the time I had IL plates, but I am a Seattle resident and Andy's is a horrible and unsafe mechanic. He seemed nice enough and I was drawn in by other comments, but the guy overcharges. After spending $1000 on new OEM brakes last year, my car never stopped right, continued to screech and grind, and made rattling noises that weren't there before I brought the car to Andy's. Pros: Good press Cons: Horrible and unsafe repairs more
