I know what you're probably thinking. This guy has gone off the deep end. I only ask that you hear me out.
This AM, I went to the DMV armed with laptop and newspaper to pass the interminable time I would spend waiting to get my WA license. Having recently relocated to WA from IL, my expectation was set by what I had experienced at the DMV in Chicago which was a combination of early 20th century Ellis Island and the Wrigley Box Office the day Cubs season tickets go on sale. In other words, I figured I was in for a long, crowded, and perplexing wait.
Instead what happened was I walked in to the Greenwood Department of Motor Vehicles at 8:45AM and waited not a second. What's more, the woman that helped me was really pleasant and helpful. 5 minutes later, I had my temporary license (the real one gets mailed in 5 days) in hand and I was on my way to work.
This ain't your father's DMV...

Epic Auto Detailing is amazing!!! It is a fairly new business here in Seattle. The owner, Christian Engel, sold his business in Hawaii and moved here in the Northwest...starting yet again, Epic Auto Detailing. He is a perfectionist! I had my SUV detailed and had stains throughout, as many kids are in and out of my vehicle. I also have a dog and had that lovely doggy smell. He spent about four quality hours on my vehicle and removed EVERY stain and had my car smelling great! He even used a razor blade and removed those little fringes due to loose stitching on my leather seats! I've literally never seen my rims so shiny! Lastly, he gave me the option of not using a car scent, or picking from the many scents he had neatly packed in his detailing equipment...I chose cucumber melon :-) His business is totally mobile, so he can get your car at your workplace and bring it back detailed, or even detail it at your house if you have a hose faucet and an electrical outlet. Again, Epic Auto Detailing is amazing, and I highly recommend his services!

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.

These guys have truly earned my appreciation. Tony (the owner) and Mike (manager) are running a really unique auto center. The whole business seems built on trust and fairness to the customer (I could hardly believe it myself!). I came in for an estimate on an oily timing belt and other oil leaks, and theirs was $300 less than Gregg’s. After doing the work, Tony noticed a leak he hadn’t spotted at first (oil filter valve) – and said he’d fix it for free – just out of commitment to doing the job right. I was pretty shocked (maybe even a little suspicious). But he fixed it (a half day job, as it was under some kind of a manifold), and also changed the oil for free.
Aside from quality work, I liked the time Tony spent explaining all he had done, and his “philosophy” about serving the customer. When I got home, I felt really at ease, and I realized I’d never dealt with any mechanics I’d really trusted before. It was a real feeling of community.
They just opened September 2006, and I don’t think many people know about them. That’s why I’m writing this review.

Alchemy Goods has the best messenger bags, etc. that I have seen.
The bags are primarily made out of recycled innertubes.
This is a tiny start-up business based right here in Seattle in Wallingford.
Eli is a great guy and he is doing something for both style and the environment.

Well I came online to look for their phone number and I happened to see a lot of BS lol about Carland. Anyways it’s never too late and bought a few cars from them and had very good luck. I guess you have to have money in your pocket when you go car shopping. I agree that they are not all well organize, they do make mistake after all we are all human. Good luck car shopping and car fixing. They fix my car more than three times and I couldn’t tell if my car was repainted and fixed. They did an awesome job. Thanks you all.

I bought a new MacBook Pro for school, and proceeded to knock over a can of soda on my desk onto it...then it wouldn't turn on anymore. Called Apple and asked what to do, and they said I'd voided the warranty and I had to buy a new one, to the tune of $2500. I brought it to Advanced Laptop and they said they could fix it and it would probably be 3-4 days. Not only did they fix it for only $300, but they did it in 2 days! The tech was very friendly, and not condescending like I've encountered at other computer repair places (techie guys always seem to think girls are clueless when it comes to technology!). I'll definitely come back here if I need repairs in the future...and I have learned not to drink anything while I'm on my computer. :)
