Kind Words from Our Customers

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 also send the car through their carwash at Tumwater Auto Spa. Great people, great work. They keep my older Highlander running.

Teri Thunberg

Second time I've used these guys and they've been great both times. I have a friend who works on autos for a large telecom company in California (for almost 40 years now). I ran everything by him and everything he mentioned to me, the guys at Tumwater Automotive had already covered. They're good guys. I very much appreciate them.

Diane Dennis

I've been taking my vehicles to Tumwater Automotive for many years and they have always given good, reliable service and repairs, and always have been straight and honest with me, telling it like it is, and not performing any service which is not needed. There's been a couple of times when I've given them the okay to do specific service on a vehicle and they ended up not doing it because it wasn't needed. I recommend them to anyone needing car repair or service.

Frank Meriwether

Best automotive shop this side of the Cascade Mountains! Great service - honest, friendly and reliable. Our family has the same mechanic working on all our vehicles for the last 24 years. Thank you Tom! The owner, Brett, is phenomenal. His wife, Denise, who runs the adjacent car wash, is outstanding. High integrity businesses, run by high integrity people.

Marc Duboiski

They were able to get us right in on a Friday afternoon for a battery replacement! Quality service and making sure we weren't with out a car on the weekend. Mitchell is very thorough and eager to help out. Great Place!

Jamie Weeks

Fuel pump went out, and we towed it in for after hours drop off. A good challenge always brings the best out of a place. Sourcing parts to repair/replace an old Subaru is not always easy, so 9 days may seem long, but not unexpected. Repairs successful, as well as the after hours pick up. This was a random facility choice, based off of their AAA listing, and wanting to save on a long towing charge. Wise choice.

I have been a loyal Tumwater Automotive customer since my very first car in 2000 (that I drowned in a pond...) The team has always been courteous, responsive and knowledgeable. I appreciate the honesty and great service. Looking forward to seeing you all in a couple months for a tune up!
