Great biz, especially if you have a hybrid. Been coming here for years and they are timely, helpful, affordable and honest. Couldn't be happier with their straight-forward, trustworthy, no BS automotive service. They provide timely service and very professional & kind.

Made an appointment early this week for an oil change. Dropped the car off before 8am, and it was done before 10. Best mechanic in town! Highly recommended. Service: General repairs & maintenance

Called them to see if they would install new parts (shock absorbers) I had sourced myself but I guess they like to make their money on a mark-up of parts as well as their labour rates. They wouldn't install the shocks! Caution if you're getting parts from this business. I'll probably just go to a few shops in Seattle that said they had no problem doing this.

They did a good job putting a transmission and radiator into my car. Due to unforseen issues it took a bit longer than expected but their service advisor Mike did a great job keeping me informed of the situation on a regular basis. Overall they charged a fair rate, did a good job and were honest throughout the entire ordeal. Thank you!

I went here a few times because it was so close to my house it was easy to get to with car trouble. BUT! The first thing they fixed for me they quoted me about $200 which seemed about right. Then they charged me over $400. THEN my brakes were squeaking and they quoted me over $400 again, saying my pads and roters were shot. My dad has worked on cars his entire life, and seeing he lives in a different part of WA he couldn't help me with this.
He said to tell them I wasn't interested because he could just do it for cheaper. Unlimited Service gave me a big lecture about how unsafe it would be and how they couldn't be liable. Fine. I had them change my brake pads because I was told that was part of the problem- $230. Then when I went home and had my dad look at my roters and he said they weren't ruined at all like Unlimited Service had said.
I'm not sure the motivation of this, I am a young woman and they clearly tried to take advantage of me not knowing about cars. I would get a second opinion from literally anywhere else if you get a ridiculous quote here.

These are the most amazing people. I actually drove all the way from Portland to have them work on my car. I do not trust anyone else. They even came under the quoted price which is so awesome, and almost unheard of. They are the most honest mechanics I have ever dealt with in my 64 yrs on this earth. Thank you Ultimate.
