I appreciate how straightforward they are. They always let me know what they're gonna do, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. If any of that changes, they call me. And having the option to get a loaner car from them for only $30 per visit (not per day!) is really nice.
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.
Our family has used Pacific Rim Auto for 20 years now. I am very glad to have found them and value their honesty, integrity, and commitment to service. They’re the best.
Great place for older Japanese car models. They were able to fix issues on our Honda Civic. I highly recommend this place for older Japanese car repairs and maintenance.
Excellent service as always! They were able to diagnose my car's issues right away and they were able to keep the cost affordable. Work was done in one day. Very satisfied!
Needed a ball joint and bushings replaced, as well as an oil change on my Subaru. They did it in less than six hours. People who work there are kind. I didn’t do price comparisons but I assume it’s fair for a reputable shop in Seattle. The car was returned vacuumed. I will come here again.
Pacific Rim has always provided a thorough service to keep my vehicles running smoothly. They are very honest, and back their work up in a way that is not always easy to find. I have also found them to have timely, professional, and friendly communication with customers. Really appreciate this shop and all the hard work they do!
We’ve gone to Pacific Rim for many years and have always found them honest and helpful. We trust them and recommend them highly!
Pacific Rim came highly recommended by a close friend who was recommended by another close friend. Just like a good fishing hole, places like this are kept between close friends, but these guys are too good to keep as a secret, everybody should know about this place!
My son’s car slid on some debris during a storm and the right wheels slammed into a curb. Extensive damage to front wheel and suspension and some damage to rear wheel. Jeremy got us right in and got the work done. Even had a mechanic ride with me to pinpoint damage.Very pleased.
Been coming here for years for all of our cars. Great service all the way around.
I have been using Pacific Rim. for over twenty years. I buy old off road SUVs that still have a couple hundred thousand miles left on them if taken care of. Pacific Rim has helped me do that. I live and spend most of my time in the middle of nowhere. The folks at pac.rim know that I do not want to get stranded, and…
The only auto repair company where I would trust anything they told me my car needed. I LOVE Pacific Rim. The reason is because they do good work, they are reliable, and they are honest with what you need to do and what you don’t. I’ve been going there for over 10 years and don’t have a single complaint
Over many years Pacific Rim has kept our cars in good running order. We really trust in this company.
For past several years I have taken my '97 Toyota 4 Runner here for minor and major service. Their work has always been good. Communication is excellent on what work is going to be done and the costs. They will tell you about issues that might cause problems long term giving you the option to fix them before they get more expensive.
Honest and Superior Service.
Love Pacific Rim. They always give straightforward advice. We’ve been servicing our car there for years.
Scheduling was fast, repairs finished same day, cost estimate was met, there were no surprises. Recommendations were made about future maintenance and items needing replacement. Friendly service. The price was reasonable.
I had my issue resolved quickly and within a tight time frame for an upcoming long distance relocation. The staff was able to help with follow up issues and made me feel comfortable and confident to take the vehicle out loaded up on the long road trip ahead. I highly recommend Pacific Rim as a long standing customer…
I’ve always experienced high level customer service, my car repairs are done timely @ reasonable cost and my car comes back clean too! I typically need a car during the day so they have always been able to give me a loaner as well. I’m so grateful they’re in my neighborhood.
