Recommended Mechanics in Seattle Area

Hey PNW! I'm close to purchasing a T4R and need a mechanic to inspect the vehicle before I pull the trigger. I don't live in the area, so my family is taking the car into a shop for me. Does anyone have a solid shop they recommend? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

P.S. I scoured the forums and the only recs I found were: Auburn Auto Repair & Michaels Toyota of Bellevue.

 

Both of those should be good for an inspection. Where is the 4runner located?

 

The guys at Pacific Rim Auto have my service for life on things I can't do myself. Had my head gasket and a new head assembled there and they even gave me a 4Runner as a loaner for free. Great guys that know their stuff and use OEM parts.

 

Found an awesome mechanic in Seattle called Delridge Auto Repair. Super knowledgeable staff/owner who loves Toyotas (and specializes in Japanese imports).

 

Only took you three years?

 

+1 for Pacific Rim Auto. Only shop I've brought my truck and these guys are very respectful. They don't talk you into shit you "need." I'll continue bringing my truck there for things I'm unable to do myself.

 

yeah it actually did. had no need to bring my truck into a mechanic in the last three years and literally everything shut down here for almost a year with covid. only reason I needed to find a mechanic the other day was to get an oil change locally and to get my truck inspected before selling. appreciate your concern tho

 

hell yeah, thanks man. always good to have alternate options.

 

It was just a joke. Lighten up Francis

 

Gosh darn it, you don’t say? I couldn’t tell.
