I had taken my car to 3 other shops in the area and spent over $600 because my car was making a horrible noise sounded like my car was going to fall apart in the street. My boyfriend suggested I take my car here. Noise was as bad as ever. I stopped in twice and they couldn't get me in so I finally made an appointment.
When I dropped the car off they asked me to go on a test drive with them to hear the noise. None of the other shops took the time to drive the car with me to hear the noise.(maybe thats why they couldn't fix it). After we drove it I left it with them.
The guy called me about 3 hrs later and I cringed to hear the price. The problem was a loose bolt they tightened it and the noise was gone. The price $0. What ZERO? The guy said he couldn't charge for tightening a bolt.
After being promised 3 times it was fixed I really didn't believe them. Sure enough no noise anymore.
They didn't even charge for the inspection! Now I can see why they are so busy. They could have told me that some $500 whosie hatsit was bad and I would have been none the wiser. Is that what the other shops did?
Affordable tire gets 2 thumbs up!!
Pros: competent and professional
Cons: busy place had to make an appointment to get in

These guys were the REAL better way to go.
After the competition tried to upsell me (amplifier, subwoofer, etc,), when all I really needed was to replace my blown factory speakers, I decided to check out Stereo Warehouse.
I walked in, and within 5 minutes they had sold me some great, basic replacement speakers without trying to send me home with a whole new system.
Installation went relatively fast. Their waiting area could be a little better, but for the price (installation was almost half of that at the competitors) I am not going to complain much.
The staff is colorful. I was surprised at the expletives, but I didn't care. You may want to leave the kids in the car when you come in. :)
And by the way, my system sounds just fine! Thanks guys!
Pros: Won't try to upsell you, knowledgeable.
Cons: Waiting area, neighborhood.

I have purchased six cars from Honda of Seattle and I was really pleased with my last experence. I was looking at both used and new cars and not sure what I wanted. The salesperson spent a few hours with me going through me options on this lot as well as at their second store, Toyota of Seattle. I finally chose to go with the Accord sedan because it fit my family's needs. They sat me down, got me coffee and some cookies, then asked me what I wanted to pay for the car. I had never seen this approach from a car dealership and was pleasantly surprised. Once the numbers were agreed upon, they detailed it and walked me through all the ins and outs of the vehicle. I plan on sending all my friends and family members to buy from this particular salesperson and Honda of Seattle. Everyone should give them a chance to earn their business.
Pros: Highly skilled sales staff, easy pricing, location, and two stores to pick from
Cons: nothing

Rick's Rox!! I took my TJ (Jeep) in for a axle swap and ARB Locker.. best service EVER! They did the work right the first time (other place screwed it up) and it was cheaper. The guy at the counter (Mark I think?) was very informative and they had good coffee ;-P
Pros: Best Service, Everything Works Like It Should!
Cons: No TV

I had my own repair shop for 10 years then I was a mobil mechanic for 15 years. I know a little about auto repair now that I am retired this is the only shop that I will take my car recommend to my old customers. They are always willing to explain the recommendations they make and don't talk a bunch of nonsense. The prices are always fair and the work is top notch.

I am new in town. Got a free oil change coupon in the mail for this company. I needed an oil change and my brakes were feeling funny so I thought I could kill 2 birds with one stone.
I called and made the appointment for the work and tried to find out the catch on the oil change but the guy on the phone Dave I think swore there was no catch. I am thinking once I get there they will charge me $20 for getting rid of my old oil or say sorry doesn't apply to your car. But I figured it would still be cheaper than Jiffy Lube and they have always been hit or miss.
So I go in and they fill out my work request and I am all prepared to argue that they said the oil change would be free but they don't hit me up for anything no extra charge for my car, no charge for the filter no charge for nothing!
Wow thats a suprise! So I ask them to check my brakes cause my car has over 50,000 miles and the brakes don't seem to work as good as used to. So they ask a bunch of questions about my brakes and I waited for them to check my car again, no charge to check my brakes.
So the guy comes and gets me and shows me that my brakes are still good, the rear brakes are just a little out of adjustment. They charged me $50 and now its as good as new.
Maybe a customer shouldn't be suprised when a place gives you something for free and it's really free but I am. Or when you ask for something to be checked and its really ok. Maybe I should not be suprised that the people at the shop are friendly and professional and clean. Or that the shop and waiting area is clean and orderly and well lit, But I was. This place is a gem and I highly recommend Affordable Tire and Brake!

Upon purchasing a new house in Seattle, purchasing a tv (a big one) was on the top of my husband's priority list. He did most of the research online and saw that Best Buy had the best selection and prices. We visited the Bellevue store and while I was less than enthusiastic about the large purchase, the salesman was very patient in understanding what we were looking for and took extra time to explain the pros and cons of each model. We were in and out in less than and hour and a new TV was delivered within the week. It was much less painful than I thought!

I have been going to Superior Automotive for about 3 years and can't say enough good things about it. It is sometimes hard to find a mechanic you like, but these guys are just great. They know my name and what kind of car I have and are always nice and helpful on the phone and in person. They are also timely and accomadating. They do quality work and try to save you money whenever they can. You can tell they aren't trying to rip anyone off. They also have a really comfortable waiting area and a convienient location. I never really do these reviews unless I really like a place, but I think these guys deserve the props.
Pros: Friendly, Professional, Honest
