Yo. I should have been notified, (you had my number),o f any extra work, or cost, other than the 2 front units being installed that were agreed upon on the pnone. I don't believe my abolishment was warranted, or justified.

Taskar saved us! The weekend before a cross-country roadtrip, our older Toyota Tacoma failed to start. It was an intermittent issue that another repair shop had already failed to diagnose. Misha and his team came through when we needed them. They diagnosed the problem that day, then went above and beyond to complete the repair by Monday, just in time for our trip. Our truck made it all the way across the country without a hitch! :

Owner does great work at very affordable prices! Slight language barrier, so communication isn't the best, but pricing was clear and the problems were fixed! I'll be going back.

I feel very lucky to live nearby this wonderful auto repair shop. Taskar Garage has always been available to help me solve my car issues (so far, that's consisted of oil and battery changes). I'll usually either call and request an appointment or drive in. In either case, they've always been very accommodating.

Nice people. Quick service. I got my car towed here over night and everything was all set the morning later.

Misha is an excellent mechanic and honest. As are his staff. They changed my timing belt, spark plugs and replaced a hose. My car is running better than ever now. I'm so happy to have such a fantastic auto repair shop in my neighborhood! Services: General repairs & maintenance, Oil change

The BS factor from Misha is zero. I referred a family member here for this shop's exceptional work ethic and skill. Communication may be a little blunt, but you won't be left wondering anything. If you want a shop that'll take your car and just fix it right, go here. BTW, Misha doesn't make the parts he uses - if there is a parts problem, give him a break so he can make it right.

Honest mechanic, perfect experience. Brought my car in complaining of a odor. They checked it right then and there and determined there was no need for concern; a plastic bag got caught somewhere under my car and I smelled it burning. Sent me on my way in two minutes. They didn't ask for any money. They deserve this five star review.

My car is in the shop today because my right rear caliper went out. I used to live in magnolia but now live in Tacoma. I still drive up here because Misha is a very honest man. He never says something is broken if it's not broken. He has worked on all my cars for years now. I won't go anywhere else!

Great folks in there. Did my timing belt and few other things there. They go above and beyond. They even fixed my bumper, they pulled it out and straitened it. I never asked to do. Thanks folks

Took my car here awhile back, and the guy told me that i for sure needed a new tensioner pulley So i ordered one online and had them (taskar) install it (for like 70 bucks labor) I later found out that that my original one was completely fine Smh totally wasted 90 bucks

We just had our old Subaru repaired here for the 3rd time. Every time the price has been absolutely reasonable, and the car is running better than it has in years. The owner explains what the problem is and fixes it quickly. We will return with our other car as well. Highly recommended local business.

BEST MECHANIC EVER! All the time was looking for good mechanic, who would not charge me as my car costs and I finally found him. He was working on my work car - Dodge Grand Caravan 2012, and I was surprised for the quote what I got. I think you'll never find better pricing and quality and the service in the city. Misha is great in communication. The alternator died in Dodge and I had to work the next day. So, he fixed it in the same day when I called.

I'm so thankful him for it. The team also is great. They are doing almost all the services, what are possible (from oil and filter changes to engine and transmission swaps) If somebody is interested in rebuilding transmission or engine, they have the company with which they are working for 10 years. And as Misha said they do also good priced (rebuilding transmissions around 2000$ with 3 year warranty) and qualifying services. Highly recommend Taskar Garage! Definitely will come back there to fix my other cars

These guys work fast, the work is good and they are honest. Fixed my problems with my Subaru and gave me good advice for another problem I had. Definitely will go here for maintenance instead of the dealership where they make mistakes and don't do the things they say they will.

My boyfriend & I brought his car into Taskar this morning for a concerning burning smell and some occasional leakage. They told us to pull in, looked under the hood and another mechanic looked underneath. They told us a plastic bag got stuck underneath and it would eventually burn off, that It was no cause for concern. Told us no cost for the diagnostic, all that matters is the car is safe. The car is nearing the time It will need an oil change & tune up, we will for sure bring It back here based solely on their honesty!

My repair was completed sooner than expected and at a lower price. So far, everything works great (been a few months). What more could one ask for?

A little on the pricey side but the service was exceptional. Cute little sweet family and they seem to really enjoy what they do. Will definitely come back again and highly recommend. They communicate well, are open to drop offs overnight, and they get the job done quick!

The very best. I've never trusted a car repair shop the way I trust Misha and his team. They kept our jalopy on the road for years. Misha finally convinced us that we were paying *him* too much for endless repairs and we'd be far better off spending the money on a different car. Excellent work, excellent service, and straight talkers

I brought my 2009 Subaru Outback to Taskar last week based on the stellar reviews and I was not disappointed. I had a random act of misfortune, immediately after leaving the garage and arriving home with the vehicle (I live within a mile or so of the garage). My car began leaking a massive amount of fluid and was not drivable. I had to tow the car back to the garage and they examined the issue. Taskar offered to repair my vehicle without charging for their own labor as they felt responsible for not encountering the problem sooner although it was in a completely different area of the vehicle than they had been working.

Despite this random act occurring, and not being their fault in anyway they took care of me as a customer which I appreciate immensely. I will always be a loyal customer going forward.

These guys are great. Been here about 6 times now and they always quote me fairly and way under other shops. Just got my alternator replaced yesterday and they quoted me $400. $100 for labor and a $250 part + tax. Took it to Pacific Rim first cause it closer to my house and they quoted me $1100 and then charged me $277 diagnostic fee when I told them I was taking it elsewhere. Long story short, I never leave Taskar feeling like I just got hosed. Will be back.

In a world of price gouging services, it was refreshing to encounter an honest and affordable mechanic! I highly recommend Mischa at Taskar Garage in Ballard for their services and speedy turnaround!

Bless his heart and soul. Misha is a very good man. It was my first visit to Taskar Garage and I sensed that he doesn't seem to take advantage of people by how open and honest he is. He shows you exactly what happened to your car (by photos) and prices the repairs very decently. He is like your dependable dad or grandpa who speaks kinda loud at you about your car and knows exactly what to do to fix it. He'll take good care of you and won't burn a large hole in your pocket. Thank you Misha!

Our alternator failed late at night and I started to research garages nearby. I sent a few different repair places emails and requests for quotes on yelp. Within 10 minutes, I received a response from Taskar. This was at 9pm! Taskar was able to give me a quote and schedule us in for the next morning! There are negatives reviews on here about the customer service and friendliness. When it comes to auto repair I just want a fair price and job well done. Don't come here expecting a warm and fuzzy welcome, but expect your car to be fixed.
