Called up last last minute, and they were able to get me in same day and fix what was needed for a trip across the country. Reasonable prices and excellent service.

Love this place! They were able to figure out what was wrong with my vehicle after two other shops told me nothing was wrong. I really appreciate how kind and knowledgeable they were! Service: Vehicle Inspection

Fantastic place! Helped us out when no one else could when everyone else was booked out. Honest work and fast. I generally do my own but broke down during the road trip so we were stranded. Thanks again everyone there!

Most fair priced, honest, and does great work. A father opened this business across from Northtown. Now his son has the shop open not far from Gonzaga. I have and always will take my vehicle here, when I cant do it myself, or when I try and make it worse.

Savemore is the only shop in the city I've been to that is honest and not trying to sell you stuff you don't need. Theyre awesome at letting you know what needs to be taken care of soon and what can wait if money is tight. They're always professional and very informative. They also send your inspection to your phone with pictures and explanations of everything which is so helpful for people who comprehend through reading better than listening. I have a lot of anxiety with things I don't understand but any time I take my car to them I feel that I'm always taken care of and they explain everything in a way that makes sense.

Went in for oil change and they always check out the car good. Go through it to check if they see anything needed. Nick, Cory's brother found why my a/c wasn't coming out anywhere but defrost. He found it had something to do with suction. Evidently a hose had a hairline cut that needed replaced or repaired. He made a new piece from hose and it worked. I appreciated him just hanging in there. Thanks Nick!

I've used various mechanics/shops in Spokane over the years, these guys are by far the best. They are not pushy and tell you up front what the car needs but do not try and shame you. For the amount of work they did I was very pleased with the price and it would've been at least double almost anywhere else. Even got an Uber for me to and from home. Seriously they are the best.

Save More is BY FAR the best, most honest mechanic I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with! Everyone that I've talked to here is kind and genuinely wants to help, which is so rare. Their prices are very fair and their professionalism exceeds all expectations. I will always be returning to them for maintenance and repairs, and will be recommending them to anyone and everyone. Thank you guys so much for everything you do!

Wow, what nice honest people! My husband and I each took our car in on separate occasions. Randy spent a fair amount of time checking each one out but didn't charge us. We'll definitely be going back when we want any work done. It's not easy to find such hard working, accurate, and HONEST mechanics. So happy we found this place.

I came to these guys to get my car worked on, saw their reviews figured I'd give them a try. One of the best decisions I've ever made. Was Leary at first but after talking to Randy on the phone about my car it really put my mind at ease. These guys know their stuff. So made my appointment took car in Cory and Randy were great very accommodating even took me back into shop after inspecting car and walked me through the stuff they found, never had a auto shop do that before.
They didn't try to sell me on work that didn't need done. Their quote for everything was very reasonable and much lower than quotes from other places. And even after everything was done my bill was actually $100 less than original quote. Car runs great and I'm very pleased with their work, won't take my car anywhere else now. If you need work done trust these guys to do it. Thank you guys my car is fun to drive again!

I went to Les Schwab and they told me I needed new brakes, they have been telling me that for 3 years, went to SaveMore and they said I just needed them a lil bit fixed but not replaced which cost half of the price! I also got my horn replaced, it stoped working after a year, and went back in, they fixed it and didn't charged me! They are honest and they are very easy to work with.

Stellar! I've never had this kind of performance from a mechanic. I went to them because they looked highly rated online and it sounded pretty good. These are just a few guys that know what they're doing, try to be fair, and do a great job. In fact, once they got into the car, they saw something they did not see initially for the estimate and they just went ahead and did it for me anyway at no additional cost to me.
They got done with the work and even did an oil change for me at no cost because I was a few miles over on it. These guys are great! My bill wasn't cheap because there was a lot of work that needed done immediately...but their prices are fair, their work is good, and they have amazing customer service.

A Groupon for oil changes brought me in, but their fantastic (and honest) service has kept me coming back. So far (thankfully) the most serious repair I've had to have done is a new starter. I'm not used to the actual cost being LOWER than I had expected. I appreciate Corey (I do not know him personally, but he certainly takes his business personally) and his crew.

This shop is awesome and I will definitely come back if I need any serious work done. I bought a Groupon for a 3-pack of oil changes with tire rotation and honestly didn't expect much. I showed up 20 minutes early for my appointment and they took my truck in right away. I read my book for the 64 minutes it took( originally told 40 but I'll explain that) to do the service and then was blown away by what I got.
Not only did I get a tire rotation and oil change (duh) they had figured out the Low Pressure Warning Light was because my spare tire was low so they filled it and reset the light. When I stopped at a gas station just down the road to check the oil (society tells me to question if the work was even done at all, thanks NBC investigative reports) I not only found the oil was a gorgeous clear yellow gold color but they had also topped off my windshield wiper fluid. These guys are top notch, Cory is super nice, and the level of service was perfect. Thanks guys!

The mechanics here really know what they're doing, and they're absolutely honest about the status of the situation, advising in a non-pushy, clear, helpful way. As auto shops in Spokane go, I wouldn't go anywhere else, and certainly not for a diagnosis. The only downer is how busy they often are, and the need to reserve appointments well in advance.
Jacob Coffman
I took my 2007 Chevy Equinox in to have my transmission fluid changed. Not only was Save More Automotive much cheaper than any other place I called, they were thorough in their explanation of how they would be doing the job. They fully explained that changing the filter in my situation wasn't the best option, as it would at 12 hours of labor onto the job. I was also given a ride home after dropping my vehicle off. Something that no other shop has even offered me before. Great place with honest employees, and my vehicle runs much better now.
Walter Mueller
These guys took care of my Jeep. They said they could replace my radiatior by the end of the day & they got it done even faster than expected. Also, they charged me over $100 less than the other quotes I got. I will definitely bring my Jeep back to them when any other service is needed & definitely recommend their service center to anyone looking for honest mechanics that get the job done right the first time.
Alicia Devine
I HIGHLY recommend this shop! They are honest and dont try to scare you into repairs that you dont need. They have top notch customer service and even delivered my car when they were done so I didn't have to leave work early. I dont normally trust mechanic shops but these guys have totally earned my trust
