I know this is a long-shot, but can anyone recommend a good (affordable) mechanic or shop in the Tacoma, WA area?
Thanks in advance!

 

I would be interested in this as well. I recently picked up a '92 LS400 and it needs some work that's beyond my ability to do.

Thanks!

 

Ase certified tech here always down for some side work. What do you guys got goin on?

 

My tech that I go to works at Lexus of Fife and does jobs on the side as well at his place. I get all my services done through him. If you want his number PM me.

Hey Jussjoshin.....I gotta get in touch with you as I haven't found a trusted shop in Oly to work on my car. It would be nice to be able to drop my car off when I am at work and pick it up after........

My current tech lives out on South HIll and sometimes its a hassle but I trust him and he charges cheap.

 

I work at hawks Prarie automotive so you're always welcome to bring your car here. Their prices are a little on the high side though. If you need something more towards the west side, above & beyond is good and they have the cheapest labor in town. Terry's automotive is also on the west side but I'm not too sure about their techs. I haven't had too much experience with them but theyve been around FOrEVER

 

I tried PM'n Sway but he didn't get back to me yet but does anyone have a contact that does work on the side?

 

For non Lexus-specific work, I use Walt's in Olympia. I know what you're thinking. Walt's?
I wouldn't use any other Walt's, but the one in downtown Oly is a great shop.
The techs know their stuff, and they are a very honest business.

I once took my car in expecting to need new brakes. They found a plastic cup stuck between the caliper and rotor. Charged me 1/2 hour labor and all was good. (They could have screwed me on that one, as I was sure the brakes were shot).
I've had many other good experiences with them, as well.

I haven't had a Lexus-specific issue that I've had them deal with yet, but for "general maintenance" stuff, they do a good job. They're quick and affordable.

 

I hope to hear from him as well. But jussjoshin is also on my radar.

 

I do sidewalk if u need help with something

 

i apologize in advance, for i am not trying to thread jack, but if anyone happens upon this thread and also knows of auto repair shop on the kitsap peninsula, please shoot me a pm

 

*side work blah auto correct.

 

You two get my PMs? Sorry for that late reply.....I rarely log in now.

 

Anymore inputs to this? Just trying to get some work done on my car but I'd like to get a few quotes before I commit.

 

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the site and to WA. I have an 02 ES300 that needs some work and was wondering if anyone can recommend a good mechanic in the Tacoma area. I PM'd sway162 but I haven't received a response. Thanks in advance for your help.

 

welcome to the forum. What do you need to get done?
