Ballard Automotive Repair Inc

I went to this cute little hole-in-the-wall automotive place three times. The first 2 times were great - I just needed a few regular maintenance things done on my car. The third time I was about ready to drive from Seattle back home to Omaha, Nebraska after my first year of college. So I figured my car should go in for an oil change before the long trip. About a half an hour after I drop my car off for the oil change, I got a call from the mechanic. He said my car needed a little "TLC" and then started listing off all of these car parts that needed to be completely replaced or repaired. I was shocked! My car had been driving fine for the past 4 months, a little bouncy yes because I have been needing new struts but not so bad that I would be expecting to pay for such pricey repairs. When he finished, he added it all up to about $2,600. That was insane. My car is not even worth that much, and how in the world could all these problems be occurring within a few months of my last oil change more

I was towed in by recommendation of the tow truck driver. Tom did a great job and was very efficient in solving my problem. I had my van back the next day. I would definitely use them again. more

Ballard Automotive has always been very honest with us, even when its meant they didn't make money. We've always been happy with their work on repairs, lubes and tune-ups. Plus they've gone above and beyond the call of duty for me more than once. I had a dent in the bumper, and the body shops wanted $500+ to fix it, so I just figured I'd live with it. Months later I dropped the car at Ballard Automotive for an oil change. I paid for it and when I got home and saw that side of the car, I noticed they'd pounded the dent out for me. They didn't charge me. They didn't even tell me they'd done it. What a nice surprise! Pros: Honest, goes above the call of duty, great repair work Cons: None noted in several years of service more

Ballard Automotive has excellent service on auto repair and service. I don't always like going to the dealers so go to Ballard Automotive. Its small enough to give you great service but skilled enough to get the job done. more
