  Alternator failed on the way to work so dropped off at Bellingham Automotive early. They tested and swapped it without extras, mentioned corrosion from the damp weather here. Wait stretched a bit from parts delivery but they loaned a charger for my phone.

  Exhaust rattled loose after hitting a pothole so I brought it to Bellingham Automotive mid-morning. They welded it back quick without extras and noted rust from the rain here. Shop had free wifi but the coffee tasted burnt by then.

  I felt well-treated by the company. I submitted an online message and received a call soon after the business opened on its next business day. The establishment appears professionally run, and the reception and waiting areas are inviting. The service I had done, I believe, was a little more expensive than a dealership shop would have charged. (I assume independent shops have lower labor charges.) But I appreciated the time and effort expended on explaining to me what the vehicle inspection revealed, so I think that was a plus. I mentioned what I feared was an issue with the vehicle, and I was happy that they could find nothing wrong (instead of trying to upsell me on something). What’s more, they fielded questions from me about the issue and whether it was a common problem on makes/models such as mine. Their answer put my mind at ease.

  Very disappointed with my service, as I am for any car mechanic shop. I brought my car in due to some dash lights being on and assumed it was a sensor malfunction. They did an entire inspection of my car, quoted me around $293 for the inspection, I get a call back with my results and then am quoted an additional $500+ for minor repairs. They did the wheel sensor & a bulb replacement on a blinker/back tail light. They informed me of a possible oil leak I thought I had repaired over at Jiffy Lube across the street, so they ask to do another inspection which I agreed too. I get ANOTHER call on the day of pick up informing me my total was going to be around $745 and that all the work they did on the car actually wasn’t the issue at all and they wanted to do another $300+ inspection. At this point I picked my car up and just paid the $745, and decided to not get my car repaired here afterwards. I know prices have gone up lately and car work is expensive, but I paid nearly $800 for nothing to be even fixed on my car besides a blinker! They told me that all the repairs total (that they guessed MIGHT be the repair needed) would be around $2,000. I just think it’s ridiculous they fixed NOTHING on my car for $800, and then I paid that price to be told I need to spend another $2,000 MINIMUM to maybe get my car fixed, but it might have a deeper underlying issue they’d need to inspect for which is another $200-300 each inspection. Maybe I’m out of touch but car inspections should not be running me almost $1,000 especially when nothing was being fixed on my car!!
