5 /5 Emily Soloman: This is a two part review since I never got around to writing about the first time I worked with Everett Auto Clinic.
On February 14th, 2019 I bought a 1988 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa with a manual 5-speed for about 4.5k. Which, even back then was a steal. I was a little sketched out and held off on leaving a review half expecting the car to break down. Jeff the owner disclosed (Before the sale) the car had leaking valve stems which I never got around to fixing but nonetheless I owned and drove that car daily for 3.5 years. Wish I never sold it. During ownership, the only breakdowns and necessary repairs included: A torn turbo outlet hose leak (Which only meant fuel cut during heavy boost), TPS wiring (Mind you every Supra has this issue), leaking valve covers, and replacing the spark plugs frequently due to oil leaks from the valve stems and valve cover. All of which were minor cheap repairs. The only major and final break down it had was a failing CPS due to old oil seepage from the valve covers. 10/10 despite being old it was a hell of a deal and a reliable sports car. I’d buy again from these guys if they had another one.
Fast forward to today, I have a 1989 Honda Accord Hatchback that decided to die on the freeway. Right on the freeway ramp from Lake Stevens. Terrific place to be. Miles away from home and with no garage or space to work on anyway I decided to call AAA and have them tow it to the nearest shop. Everett Auto Clinic happened to be in the area so of course I went with them. Jeff and the gang were quick to diagnose at a reasonable price. Keep in mind, I’m more of a do-it-yourselfer just to save on money. In less than a day I got a call back explaining my issue was a stripped Timing Belt. Jeff explained the possible outcomes and prices if I went through with the repairs and there happened to be any underlying issues. As a woman, sometimes this can be a make or break moment as there has been instances in the past shops have tried to add parts/unrelated repairs in a shady way. These guys were very transparent and honest. They kept me updated and informed on related parts that would need replacing while everything was off (To save on labor down the road). As well as very efficient and timely in the repair. I’m happy to say my Honda is back on the road and running great. For a great price too. You guys may have to deal with the heater core on my truck next lol. Thank you for all you guys have done!
