Bellingham Auto Repair

Really great experience bringing my car here. I was having a squeaking belt that they identified and fixed in no time. I received prompt communications via text message to let me know what was going on and what they would do to fix it. I really appreciated that level of communication to keep me in the loop on what was happening with my vehicle!

Ive been coming to Joes for my car needs for almost 10 years now, and Ive always been immensely satisfied with the work they do. Top-notch attention to detail, friendly and communicative, and eminently honest, I trust them implicitly with my vehicles. I especially appreciate that they never push me to have any extra work done in order to bill me for more - they just present the facts about my car and let me decide what gets done.

Very kind and helpful people! I don't know much about cars but the folks at Joe's didn't take advantage of my ignorance and explained everything to me! I highly recommend them!!!

Communication was good, service good, no problems.

This has always been my go-to place and where I recommended my friends and family go. However, my recent experience was awful. I brought my van in with squeaky brakes. They said it was the rear brakes and calibers and replaced those. Shortly after leaving, the sound returned. I brought it in again and they said one of the calibers was faulty and replaced it under warranty. Shortly after, the sound returned. I brought it in again and they said everything was fine. I waited until it was making the screeching noise and drove by and asked them to come out and listen to it. They said they heard it and would look into it. The next day a woman called me and said my car isn’t making any noise and it’s fine! No, no it’s not. Then they let me know “Oh, it’s actually the front brakes making that sound and they need to be replaced.” When I asked WHY they hadn’t checked the front brakes on my first visit and waited until my 4th or 5th visit (lost count), she didn’t have an answer and said nothing was in the notes. I did not let them do anything else with my car. What an absolute waste of my time going back and forth and being without a car. Their prices used to be reasonable, but are much higher than other shops in town now. I will not be coming back here and will send my friends elsewhere.

Great staff. Very friendly people, as well as up front and understanding. However, they quoted me for six hours of labor at almost $200 an hour and three hundred dollars in parts. Did it myself in three hours with $150 in parts. I have mediocre mechanical knowledge. If you have any mechanical knowledge, do things yourself.

Not only was Joe's automotive repair quit with getting the a diagnostic exam done but also in the detail of explaining it in layman's terms. Each staff member that I spoke with was not only friendly but very helpful And accommodating. I would highly recommend Joe's automotive repair to anyone who would ask me as well as giving an explanation as to why. Thank you so much for such great service from all your staff and you.

Joe's got us in and out quickly and did a nice job at a reasonable price. Our go-to guy never even responded to our voice mail, so we're super happy to have found Joe's. The high ratings are real. Thanks Olivia and (?)
