My daughter lives in Lakewood. I live in Idaho. Her Honda Element was having acceleration issues. I called and Pickering's personnel worked with my daughter in determining the issue. It was found that there was a problem with the catalytic converter which had recently been replaced at a local muffler shop.

Nice people but very expensive! Got a quote for $ 4300.00 for the work that we needed done. We decided to go get another price. The second quote we got from another reputable shop was for only $ 2100 for the same exact thing. No need to say anything more.

This was my first time taking my truck in. I will make this my only shop to take my Maxine in for any maintenance or repairs. Very friendly staff. I waited while the work was being done. Very nice waiting room. They gave a list of recommended services that I should look into, and I will bring her back for sure. Thank you, I had a great experience.

This was my first time using Pickerings, as I recently got a hybrid vehicle, and had to find someone to fix my car beyond what my previous mechanic can do. I see why they have such great reviews. I found them fair and communicative. Its never fun to be told you have to get an expensive part and fix, but they gave me confidence that they knew what they were doing, that the diagnosis was correct, and that the price was fair.

That helps a lot when finances are tight and you have to pay a few thousand. The work was done much more quickly than estimated. When I asked about also getting a new radiator, something that had been recommended to me by multiple people who know cars, they said we don't think you need it, let's try just changing out the cap first. That saved me money and showed their integrity. Jessica, the manager whom I worked with, was really helpful in explaining things to me and working with me. She seemed like she cared that I had a positive experience and understood everything. I'm impressed and they've got a new customer.

My truck was having odd transmission and electrical issues. Pickering was very accommodating taking my truck while I was away on a trip and dug through it to fix several issues they found. People at the front desk were fun to chat with and had great customer service.

Trent and Nick were extremely nice and accommodating. They were able to diagnose and fix my issue both quickly and with short notice - so I could get back on the road safely. They genuinely care about their customers here! Service: General repairs

The staff were super nice and helpful. They ended up doing far more electrical work than I thought it may have needed, but in the end it all worked out. The drivers side seatbelt had malfunctioned and I had ended up ruining at least one connector trying to install it myself. Thank god they were there to save the day. They ended up having to order a special connector kit from Ford which increased the time and price by a few days, to make up for the added time, they offered to comp me a car rental which was super nice of them, I never ended up taking advantage of it tho, as my wife was able to drive me around for a few days. Thank you all very much! You got my car fixed in no time.

They definitely know what they're doing when it comes to trucks. I brought my dodge 2500 and my laundry list of stuff that needed to be repaired to them, they listened and also gave me recommendations on what should be a priority to keep me from getting stranded on the road. A bit more expensive than I was prepared for, but I also just wanted it to be fixed properly and was done with dealerships and people saying they don't want to work on my vehicle. A+!

After fixing several oil leaks a month ago, I noticed some leaking oil that dripped down the middle of the engine and asked for an evaluation. They checked the engine and noticed two new sources of llevel 2 leaks. They thoroughly reviewed the engine and the cost of needed repairs and presented that detailed report to me. Knowing the estimate of possible costs and the extent of the drip helped me decide to live with a somewhat small leak for now and keep evaluating when it seems to be increasing. As usual, the staff provided detailed description of the cause of the dripping and the cost for repairs.

I have used Pickering's for a few years now, and they have never let me down. We did have a bit of an issue with my old vehicle, but Brandon (the owner) himself talked to me about the issues with my car, and helped explain the issues in a different way than the mechanics. This time around, I brought my truck in for service on suspension, brakes, and transfer case.

They were 100% transparent about the issues, detailed every concern found during the inspection, and let me know what would happen next. I got the truck back and noticed a few minor issues. I let them know asap, and they took care of it with the highest care I've seen from a mechanic. They go out of their way to take care of their customers. Mallory, Rick, and Jessica performed their job higher than expected.

Thank you for being an honest company, it's hard to find nowadays Edit: 2 months after repair, and nearly 2k miles since, haven't noticed any issues with the work they completed. I do have a small unrelated issue, but that's another reason for me to go to Pickering's :) Edit: Just had my truck serviced again, they had forgotten to put my engine cover back on, and when I had to get that cover, a screw was missing. Noticed my truck was still leaking coolant from the area I had mentioned before the 700 thermostat fix.

Now my truck is out of coolant and will have to tow her in. would like to see why my initial issue wasn't taken care of, and would like to see proof of the old thermostat they removed.
