I love these mechanics. I've been bringing my Subaru here for a few years now since moving to Seattle. They're so friendly and helpful, easy to schedule with, and I am very happy with the quality of their work and general advice.

The team at Pacific Rim is great! Fair pricing with upfront details given after the diagnostic work has been completed so that as a consumer, you can make an informed decision whether to move forward with work on your vehicle. The integrity and hard work of the entire team is appreciated and I know I can always rely on them for my SUV.

Although the staff seemed very friendly and were responsive to me they definitely are scammers, probably only to women given what I read in other reviews and how men have given this place 5 stars while women rate it lower. They told me I needed a “major service” and kept saying “change all the fluids” without…

Pacific Rim has been maintaining my vehicles for over 20 years - and extended family the past 14 years. They’re the BEST shop in Seattle in my opinion- honest, fair, professional and competent. And if anything goes wrong they go above and beyond to address. Simply the BEST!

This is the second shop I’ve taken my high mileage 2001 Tacoma to, and I don’t need to look any further! Have had great experiences with Pacific Rim and very satisfied with the work they’ve done so far (clutch, starter, etc). Very professional and friendly as well.

These guys are great. They only use OEM parts so they are a little bit more expensive than a regular shop, but way cheaper and just as good or better than going to a dealer.
