Auto Repair in Bothell, WA

Seems to me a lot of places of business these days just try and squeeze every penny out of their customers and give you minimal service. And I know dealerships charge more, but recently I had a real eye opening experience. I needed to get a starter and my front brake pads replaced in my 2017 Honda. My go to dealership wanted to charge $2300 for the starter and $500 to refurbish ONE brake pad! With the oil change it would have been 3K! I picked Evergreen because of the good reviews. Spoke to Nick. Not only was he super knowledgeable, he was very friendly and answered all my questions. I could tell he loves his job, is interested in helping people fix their cars, and is interested in doing it for a fair price. He quoted me $859 for the starter and REPLACED not refurbish BOTH front pads for $550. They did a few other things like changing multiple filters , and replacing the brake fluid because of debris in it (fyi they had pictures). They did all that extra work and it was still a few hundred dollars cheaper than $2000. Starter was $2300 alone at the dealership! They even took me home around 8:30 and picked me up the same day around 2. The dealership needed till the next day. It’s really hard to find a business that you always spend a lot of money at, not questioning if you are getting ripped off. Most auto places I’ve gone to have always left me feeling dirty. Can honestly say this is the first where it was absolutely the opposite. FOLLOW UP: my car runs better than it has in a while. Used to squeak when I would go over the gutter in front my driveway. Since they worked on it, I haven’t heard any squeaking. Not sure why? But can’t complain about the results. 😀

I can’t recommend Evergreen enough. Nick and crew are quick, fair and very trustworthy to tell me exactly what is going on and if something is urgent to address or not. They take responsibility for faulty parts from their suppliers and have always been very communicative along the way. Thanks to their team to have a good experience where many will take advantage of people.

Complimentary uber rides are appreciated to avoid a wait for repairs to be completed.

These guys are great, reasonable prices, responsive communication, good service

Thank you Nick for all your help! I’m so glad I came here! A friend recommended these guys and man did they deliver! Honest and so fair! I will be bringing all my vehicles here from now on.

They were extremely efficient. The service was completed quickly. They met all my expectations. The charge was fair and the staff was friendly.

I scheduled appointment for transmission and coolant fluid flush. The cost is a little higher than I expected but that’s ok because i probably need to do it only once for the car. However,I was puzzled that I was offered to replace timing belt and water pump for another $1600. The model of my car is equipped with timing chain which is supposed to last the life of the engine. I am glad that I declined the service. Nick, Thank you for responding. I checked my owners manual did not see timing belt nor timing chain. I asked chatGPT to help, here is the response: The 2014 Acura RDX (with the 3.5L V6 engine) uses a timing chain, not a timing belt. That means it’s designed to last the life of the engine and normally does not require regular replacement like a timing belt would. Maintenance is usually limited to keeping up with oil changes, since good lubrication helps the chain and tensioners last longer. Some dealership-maintenance schedules or third-party sites list items like “replace timing belt” at ~105,000 mi / 7 years etc., but that appears to be a copy-and-paste error from models that do have timing belts, or outdated info

I have brought 3 cars here now and every time they have done a great job getting the fixes done quickly and at a reasonable price. The staff is always friendly and honest. I highly recommend taking your car here for any of your car need.
