If you re tired of being upsold by your dealer s service department, it s time to visit Austin at ARC Motors. I take both my cars (Mercedes AMG & 4Runner) and boat (17ft. Runabout) to his shop for servicing and extra work. He always beats my dealership service quotes and is always informative about what I can do in the moment and what the cost would entail. He s so knowledgeable and kind really takes the fear out of maintaining your vehicles. And on top of that, you can beat his pricing.

Austin is incredible with vehicles. From my Subarus to Toyotas to more unique older vehicles I bring everything to Austin because I know I can always trust his transparency through the process, fair pricing, and consistency in quality. I've had suspension worked on, engine work, brakes, everything and it's all gone exceedingly well.Services: Tune-ups, Steering & suspension replacement, Electrical, Engine repair, Brakes

Wow! I never thought this process could be easy. I've been to many places that inflate price or tell you that you need additional services that you, actually, don't need. Austin and his team were a breath of fresh air. They talked to me in a way I could understand the issue and even showed me.Great communication, knowledgable, kind, professional and they didn't talk to me like I was a woman that knows nothing about cars.Service: Engine repair

Working with Austin was such a good experience. He took extra time to help me understand the potential issues with the older vehicle I was buying, both from what he could see happening and from experience with aging sprinters. He was very genuine and candid, and I got the sense he really enjoys the work. That s worth a lot to me when relying on someone else s expertise.

Austin is really great to work with - knowledgable, professional, and straight to the point. He always took the time to explain things to me and offered complete transparency. His pricing is competitive and he was generous with the services provided. I cannot recommend his shop enough and 100% will return for future car service needs.

I will always feel comfortable leaving my Subaru with Austin. He s professional, patient, and clearly enjoys doing what he does. It s very easy to communicate with him if I have any concerns, and I can rely on him to give me helpful advice to prolong the life of my older car. Sometimes, it even feels like he loves your car more than you do

Best shop in Seattle. They take the time to talk to you about your vehicle before any work is done so you know what to expect. Completely professional, excellent work and great customer service. Austin is the guy to go see there. I guarantee he can fix whatever your rides ailments are.

Without a doubt my favorite mechanic in Seattle. I have a few guys I take my cars to depending on what needs to be done but over the last couple years I find myself going to Austin for all my vehicles needs. He is knowledgable with all makes and models and is honest and fair.

All of my experiences with Austin have been excellent. While my jobs have been child's play compared to what he's capable of doing, he spent the time to thoroughly explain his diagnoses and work with me to arrive at a balance of cost and benefit. He has an undeniable passion for and deep understanding of machines, and he seems like a great guy to boot.

Quickly diagnosed my car's issue and gave me an honest assessment of how to fix it - compared to two other dealerships which completely inflated the cost and work needed. Very knowledgeable, reasonable price and definitely my go-to now.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. Austin took a special interest in my 1981 conversion van and spent an honest 1.5 hours guiding me through and advising on maintenance that should be done. His mechanical know-how and integrity simply can t be matched in today s automotive world. Don t take your vehicle anywhere else!

My family has known Austin for a long time living in the same area, he is about as knowledgeable as they come, thoroughly explaining things and making the process easy to understand as well as going above and beyond, this is the place to go if you can t get your hands greasy

Austin always puts 150% in everything he does. Can easily spend all day talking about vehicles, the land or water type. Boats, motorcycles, cars, whatever. He has it all. 5 - stars. At the end of the day, ideally, I would like to keep my mechanic all to myself, but we all know this isn't realistic.

Austin is an awesome and honest mechanic. Got a way better second opinion on a potentially substantial project that likely saved me a ton of money and possible headaches.

Austin and Jack are the BEST. Dependable, honest, thorough and always take time to explain the work they're doing and why it should be done. Best shop in Seattle!

Great mechanic shop! Fixed my 2012 Toyota for HALF of what the dealerships quoted me. They really care about quality, and actually fixing cars.

I just got a shield put over my Prius' catalytic converter at ARC Motors. They did a great job at a reasonable price and I have some peace of mind.
