Kind Words from Our Customers

Update - Just had the rear brakes and the radiator replaced. I needed to have my car back by a certain time on the 2nd day. They came through for me! Everything done, including the 5,000 mile checkup and tire rotation. Very happy with Tumwater Automotive. I've depended on Tumwater Automotive to maintain my 2005 Highlander ever since the manufacturer's warranty expired. This particular service was the 100k service which included all inspections as well as oil change & lube. They als... Read More

The staff here is amazing! We have a family member who is terrified their car is going to explode because they went to a bad mechanic who lied and said the car needed all kinds of things fixed. We took the car their and paid for a full inspection and the car came back completely clean. The staff was completely supportive and spend a lot of time talking to the worried car owner and answering all of their questions. I have never seen such integrity and honesty in a mechanic shop. I would trust ... Read More

I love Tumwater Automotive! I had extensive work done to my vehicle and was immediately happy I chose them. The employees are so professional and kind and took time to explain things to me and give me options before moving forward. The work was done well and fast and I left satisfied. On 2 occasions I got a low tire pressure warning in the morning and they were able to help me within minutes and didn't even charge me. They were able to do the same thing for my break light recently. They got m... Read More

TA got a sticking caliper replaced under warranty with no charge even though we were outside the time requirement. Very courteous and professional. Great with explaining condition of the vehicle and repairs needed. Highly recommended.

Mark Welch

Our 2017 Hyundai Elantra was overheating and the air conditioning was not working. A local dealership, where the vehicle had been purchased, lost our trust because of what felt like unprofessional attitudes, along with obfuscated and questionable diagnoses. That's when I contacted Tumwater Automotive. Mitch and his team quickly traced the problems back to a disconnected electrical harness and a loose fuse. Simple fixes performed quickly at a reasonable cost. Mitch and his team have done e... Read More

Brett has the most conscientious and experienced staff and provides the best customer service in town - hands down.

Jan Nutting

Great service ???? we were given a quote up front and they were honest about not needing to change out our belts. Honest mechanics are hard to find. We appreciate the transparency of pricing too. The sign up on the wall says how much the hourly rate is, no hidden fees. Very friendly staff as well.

Danielle Garrand

Outstanding! I expected a massive amount of work to be needed, but nothing other than an oil change and solid info about the other issues (which turned out to not really be the issues I thought they were). I will always take my car here, these guys really are great & honest!
