I have been dealing with NW Automotive for over 10 years and six different vehicles. What I appreciate is the conservative approach to problems. They always try to find a cost effective solution, first. Regardless, they are always upfront and spell out the options. Like someone else has said, it is like a doctor/patient relationship.
I appreciate their honesty and work ethic. This is a company that truly knows their stuff, practices great customer service and is totally professional.

We needed several things done; soffits, gutters, fascia, windows and exterior doors. In short we have replaced nearly every exterior opening our house has, and they are all odd-sized and 'interesting'. WA energy services managed the entire job (otherwise we have needed 3 different contractors), they coordinated all measurements and schedules, did the job when they said they would, finished on time, on budget, and each crew was more professional than the last. They were all there on time each morning, respected our property and cleaned up thoroughly. The quality of the product is impeccible, and every last detail was taken care of (and believe me I am picky!!). They had a thorough contract and every aspect was agreed upon before any work commenced.
The installation crews were terrific. They really went above and beyond just doing their job competently. We've had a lot of projects done on our 1960's fixer-upper. It's an odd little house where nothing is standard. These guys took it all in stride and seemed to really enjoy the transformation they were making. I don't expect a crew to feel quite the sense of 'ownership' in the changes that we do, but every single guy came to work in the morning and seemed excited by the difference they were making (I'll grant you it was a dramatic change).
Mike - who came and did the estimate was also extraordinarily organized (I got 3 other quotes). He broke out our jobs on a series of spreadsheets so we could see exactly what each item was, what our options were and how each one affected cost. It's a big improvement over some guy sitting in his car phoning his 'manager' so they can offer us a 'discount' on a page full of messy writing. WA Energy's price never changed, not even if we would 'commit this week'. They also helped us fill out all the paperwork for the energy credits.
It was an absolute pleasure to work with them. I will most definitely do business with them again.

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

We have stopped at the Admiral Chevron on the way
to the beach during the summer. It is one of our
favorite stops. The people are friendly and it is
a reminder that in a city as large as Seattle, there
is still some small town atmosphere and friendliness
in business. We look forward to talking with some
of the familiar faces over the years. They always are
well stocked with no only goodies but with new
items when they come out. Tom the manager is
the best at keeping things up to date and fresh.

I've been with Olson Energy for 5+yrs. When I bought my home, I called around. Their prices were middle of the road. They came out & explained their service, my contract at length, how my furnace works and what I needed to do to keep it going. I have a 51yr old furnace and I have told them I will eventually replace it and they have keep it going till I could replace it.
To address other comments: (1)When I had a concern with a service the owner addressed it and it's never happened again. (2)When I had problems with my furnace, they didn't charge me a DIME if it was in the service contract (3)The person on call returned urgent phone calls within 30min at 5am and (4) when my furnace DIED in February they came out and worked on it for 4 hours till 8pm so I could have heat that night.

I have getting heating oil from Genesee for several years now and the service has been great from day one. When I bought my house I had no clue about oil. My house had been previously serviced by Rossoe, but when I called them I was treated as if I was an interruption in their day, then I was shuffled off to sales person who seemed to put the hard sell on me without listening to what I needed..which was simply an explanation of how heating oil works. My next call was to Seelig but they seemed like a fly-by-night operation...answering machine on the first call, when they called back all they could do is constantly slam other companies (always a red flag in my book). So I finally called Genesee on a referral from my neighbor who had been with them for 30 some years. They were great. A very nice person in the office explained how oil works, got my account set up, and gave me a free tune up. All I can say is that every interaction with them is a great experience...rare to find these days. When I call them they are friendly and not pushy. The service technicians have been knowledgeable and clean. I now get biodiesel from Genesee which they are a leader in. I really like the fact that they care enough about the environment to offer biodiesel. I know that most companies can get things right sometimes, but Genesee seems to get it right all the time.

i have been going to andy's coffee stand for 8 years now and have been though staff changes, etc. i visit the coffee stand 3 x a day (yes, i'm a coffee fiend), and love all the baristas....except... now the boss's daughter is working there, and i'm sorry to say, her coffee is TERRIBLE, she is EXTREMELY SLOW and messy (there's chocolate, coffee and milk all over the outside of the cup, and it's stained my clothes), and she usually gets the order wrong and over charges you. i will not go to the stand if she is working. i don't think anyone has formally complained because she is the boss's daughter, but i'm calling today to voice my complaint... i feel like i'm wasting my money if i go there while she's working because i end up dumping out the majority of my drink. in the future, i will just go to starbucks if i see her there.
Pros: store/gas station employees are great, coffee stand is excellent most days
Cons: barista "serena" makes horrible coffee, slow, messy, etc.

I was so happy with the service I got at Salmon's. I was able to get my car in the shop the same day I called. The technicians were all so helpful and didn't make me feel inferior when I had trouble describing my problem. I was given a ride home and they picked me up (i only live 10 blocks away.) When I picked my car up the bill was less than the estimate and they washed my car! I will never go to another shop if I can help it. I recommend Salmon's to all my friends.

I have been going to these guys for several years and can't say enough good about them. As a rule, I tend to be skeptical of mechanics, but these guys have proven over and over to be honest and straightforward. They also have the customer's best interests in mind and try to do the job with the minimum of labor invested to do the job right.

I noticed a low tire on my way to work and brought it up to them on my break asking how long it might be to have it looked at. Seeing as all their work areas were full, I was expecting to wait while. Nope. They pulled one of the other cars out of the way, took care of my car and I was on my way within 15 minutes!!
