Shoreline Foreign Auto Repair

Always excellent service! The new shop is great!

I love the team at Car Tender! Paolo and John always take good care of me. They have always been incredibly transparent and ensure I am aware of all my options. Thanks for the help over the years.

I moved to Seattle from LA about 2 years ago. I’m a huge believer in finding a solid mechanic to work on my older cars because there’s a lot of businesses out there that just don’t understand 1) the love of older cars 2) how to care for them. I happened to live down the street from the CarTender Capitol Hill location (now they’ve moved to Shorline) and thought I’d give them a try. I figured they’d been in business for 50+ years for a reason! From the get, I had a great experience. Their communication was/is excellent from booking an appointment to the moment you pick up your car. They gave me a complete ‘fix-it’ list in order of priority (older cars always have something to work on). The folks that keep that place pumping are always kind and have been nothing but trustworthy. Their pricing is fair as well. Now that they’ve moved to Shorline, I still bring my car to get worked on. Their new shop’s pretty spiffy and they all seem happy with the updated digs. Still exemplary service and my car’s humming!! Thanks to everyone at CarTender!

John and crew do a great job on my X5. They have stood behind work done in the recent past and have replaced a faulty part multiple times with no questions asked. I really appreciate their professionalism and quality work.

John and the team at Car Tender went out of there way to make sure all the repairs to my car were completed perfectly. They had trouble with the car shaking after replacing worn out rear brakes. They diligently tackled the problem until it was solved, and did it with diligence and great communication. Their efforts are very much appreciated.

I bought a 1974 Mercedes 450 SL on a whim and knew very little about the car. I only knew that it had 60k miles and seemed to run fine. The guys at Car Tender took a look at it for me and quickly let me know what needed attention and how much it would cost. They were very attentive and did great work on the car always working with my schedule and budget. I recently moved the car to the California desert and they worked tirelessly to get the air-conditioning upgraded to r-134 and it works like a champ! They shared all of their notes with my new shop in CA which was very helpful. Thanks guys!!

Great experience John was very helpful and knowledgeable

All the above repairs were done promptly and within the projected costs. The staff is professional, knowledgeable and responsive.
