What customers said about auto brake repair
I dont live in Seattle, passing through on a road trip. I needed brakes front and rear along with an oil change. I dropped it off in the afternoon and it was ready the next morning. G and M Auto repair is awesome!
I have a 2010 mini cooper and this place was recommended to me by another mini cooper owner and I’ve gone here twice and both times service has been amazing. It’s family owned and it’s definitely feels that way. Going to continue going here for my car maintenance needs.
Great customer service and very trustworthy advice by this team! Reasonable, not pushy and willing to help solve for non-traditional repairs. Super happy with service and I go here without hesitation over the past few years. It's so great to have a local repair shop in Magnolia!
New Review guys. Brought my 2018 Ford Escape in for SPA day. You know…pampering of the vehicle. You know a little lube job, new break pads, check fluids and oil change. My car loved the tire rotation. Budd and company are the “hawks” in Seahawk of professionals. Trust all my work with em.
Very communicative and clearly explain what is found in the diagnostic. Also use of proper OEM parts with reasonable pricing. Highly recommended
Excellent Service Great knowledge fast would recommend them give them five stars I will definitely take my car to them forever repair they fix the convertible top that was stuck and the windows wouldn't go down or up excellent shop
