Consumer Comments for Absolute Auto Care

Consumer from Lakebay, WA

Always great work and has recommended me to other places when they didn't do the work and the places they recommended were awesome also. Has even showed me what I can do at home so as not to come in and spend my money. Great people.

Both our vehicles have been in for a general look-over, which we paid for at shop rates and which resulted in work needed or desirable from the inspecting tech's perspective. I felt the items listed by the techs were fair and honest assessments, the work was done promptly, and the parts and labor were competitively priced (labor by the sacred "book"). The staff allowed me to discuss issues with the inspecting techs for clarification. I will continue to take my vehicles there first for any needed work. Also, communications with the shop staff were excellent.

Owner informed me that the front brakes were fine; noise due to a rock. Did some other minor work.
