I haven't had a mechanic I can trust since 2002 due to various career relocations. A coworker recommended Bernie's after I just dropped 1,200 on 4 engine mounts, a cv boot and an oil change at some other garage. She also gave me a card for a free oil change which is always a cool deal. I took one of our vehicles in and they even replaced the dead battery in her security remote at the same time. Everyone else has said, "Go to the dealer." These guys are absolutely awesome. When I walked in the front door they looked professional and obviously knew what they were talking about from the first words uttered. The mega plus: they didn't try and talk me into senseless replacements for things I knew didn't need to be done. They recommended realistic things that could be done next time I had the extra cash, and they assured me that a problem wouldn't leave me by the side of the road. BUT... if I was left with a disabled vehicle they also have free towing. I about slapped myself in the face to make sure I wasn't dreaming. They also gave me a rewards card which gives me a percentage back with every service done. I've NEVER had a mechanic that's done that even my favorite mechanic known as "Dad." I will definitely continue taking all our vehicles to Bernie's.
Pros: Professional, well-mannered, knowledgable, efficient
Cons: I haven't found any yet.

I was very pleased with the work Aaron and his associate did with my black USP Audi A4. The exterior was not in good shape due to some pretty bad swirl marks. They were right on time in picking up my car and put 16 solid man-hours into making it look better than the day I bought it. Almost all the swirl marks were removed and the car shone in a shade of black I didn't think was possible. Honestly, it's like I have a brand new car. If you want truly the best detail, for the interior or exterior, 3LG is the only place to go in the greater Puget Sound area.

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.

If you want to pay 50% more for gear that's been detailed between uses and someone to hold your hand while using it, go to Home Depot. If you know what you need and how to use it, want it cheaper and want to do local business, the guys at Handy Andy are the best.

Larry's Volvo's owner Warren is the type of person you would trust your Volvo to. Always good advice, fair prices, and most importantly he is HONEST. If something does not work out, he will go out of his way to get it fixed. A few times he did not even charge us when the problem was not completely fixed.
