Shoreline Foreign Auto Repair

What a fantastic experiance!!! My wife and daughter were in seattle after having drove off of the pass where the SUV was giving them brake trouble. I was reffered to Car Tenders thru a friend who know the right people in the area. Patrick took my call and then worked my family in on a moments and inspected the vehicle, corrected the simple issue and sent them out the door with a freshly washed vehicle!!! Thank you so much!!! The Renards

Really surprised to see the negative reviews, I took my battered old BMW e12 here for years. Even though my car had to be the worst example of a bimmer they had been unfortunate enough to work on, they always treated me like I had just rolled up in an e30 M3. Never did any work without a really good explanation of why they had to do it, approved everything with me before they did it. They also were good about understanding what was worth fixing and what wasn't given the er.. limited value of my car. When it was finally beyond help, I felt like they actually shared my grief at it's passing. Very nice people who are good at what they do.Is this the cheapest place to get your car fixed? No, it really isn't. Don't go here for an oil change or simple repairs, their time is too expensive for stuff like that. Are they the guys you want doing the important major repairs to your BMW? Yes. They will do it right and not cut corners.

Josh and the guys here are efficient and courteous, and will not take advantage of you. Trustworthy and excellent service- these guys are worth it!

My husband and I have been bringing our vehicle to car tender for under a year since we bought it. I got my very first flat tire today coming off of the viaduct and I was parked on first avenue in a no parking zone with my hazards on. My husband was at work, so I called Car Tender and Josh sent out two of the guys to come change it out for me and reassured me not to worry it was going ot be just fine. these are excellent men and they changed my tire cheerfully and I was on my way in no time at all. Car Tender is fantastic and I am so grateful for their service to me.

Talk about a bi-polar set of reviews - Car Tender - you either love it or hate it. I fall in the former category. I believe it depends entirely upon what you expect from a car repair shop. Car Tender is exceptionally professional, and they can fix anything. Customer support is superb and the mechanics are among the best in the city. They know how to diagnose, create alternatives and implement what they propose. I was referred to Car Tender by several exceptionally savvy car owners.Are they inexpensive? Absolutely not, however you get value for your dollar, but there needs to be a reason for it. My vintage Mercedes is a Car Tender car where it is loved and pampered, also significantly less expensive than MB Seattle, where the vintage MB would be very rare - at most one per month. On the other hand, my in warranty Toyota Camry goes to the dealership - less expensive and just fine as fixing the Camry, right now, is pure vanilla - they probably see twenty of my make and model per week.So, rather than slamming a rare, well-run independent business like Car Tender for not being all things to all people - use Yelp and determine the type of repair shop that is appropriate for your vehicle and personal financial circumstances.

Long term customers and I am very surprised with the negative feedback on here. I have found no one in Seattle that compares to their quality. You get what you pay for and since I care about my car, I choose to take it to Car Tender. They're focused on long term relationships and I cannot express how many times they have really helped me out whether I am in Seattle or having car issues on the road. Whether or not they will make any money from me on a certain event I am having, they have always done their best to make sure I am taken care of. If I am out of Seattle, they make sure that I am provided with the same type of service, quality and knowledge which you are blessed with as a Car Tender customer. Talk to Josh or Patrick, they're the best. If you are looking for a top notch quality shop, I hope you ignore some of the negative feedback below and trust the advice of a long term customer. You may find cheaper, but I doubt you will find better. Thank you Car Tender for all these years of great service!

I've serviced my 06 Audi A3 here ever since it went out of warrantee. I seriously love them - attention to detail, great customer service, and they do a good job of walking a fine line of keeping my Audi up to date with everything it needs, while watching my pocketbook for me and not replacing anything needlessly. I'm a very happy, and very loyal Car Tender customer.
