Edmonds Motors

The owner Mike is a very straight up guy… who will tell you of what you need and will discourage you from spending on unnecessary repairs or parts…
He is super Knowledgeable and a super the most Honest fellow (mechanic) I’ve ever met… The most important Quality!!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

After driving over 20 hours, in the driving rain, in an older Honda from San Jose, it finally dawned on me why my visibility was a bit impaired. It wasn’t the rain, it wasn’t the darker skies of the Northwest nor was it my failing eyesight and glasses. It was because one of my headlights blinked out. Piece of cake. I pulled in, waited a bit, and they popped in a new filament.
The guys are nice and liked to chat. Since I only had Yankee dinero, he accepted it in lieu of Canuck Loonies. I probably owe him 40 more American cents, since it was $ 0.964 CDN to $ 1.00US dollar today. Oh well, this should make up for the $ 1.31CDN per litter gasoline (do the math, about 4 litters per US gallon), that’s over $ 5.00US/gallon.
I won’t cry any more about our Bay Area gasoline price.

This place came highly recommended by a friend who’s a total car nut, so we’re glad we listened. Our car had a serious transmission problem (she ran, but in screeching protest), plus needed some brake work. These guys were honest, fast and competent — all good things in a mechanic. Not especially cheap, but that’s to be expected. But it was a reasonable price for the amount and quality of work/​parts required.
The only downside was the length of time we had to wait when going to pick up the car up. I really don’t know what they were doing back there with all the paperwork… the guys are super nice, and they do like to chat, though. Which leads to another little downside — being totally disabused of my notion of owning one of those cute little Minis, like the one I saw in the shop. According to the mechanics, Minis are prone to transmission problems — and for whatever reason, cost thousands more to fix than our Honda.
Which, incidentally, is purring like a kitten and stopping on a dime.
